Standard (but not bald) tires will get you anywhere snow tires will on a "conventional" car, with chains you are driving a tank (my VW Beetle, with chains, pushed full sized American cars with snow tires that got stuck in an icy parking lot; this was in the late 1960's at Cornell U.). I have driven nothing but F.W.D. or rear engined cars since I started driving in 1965. I never owned snow tires and never called for a tow either!
