According to the specs, you need 235/45/17. If you want a tire that works well in snow, you will want to opt for a severe snow service tire - one that has a mountain badge imprinted on the side of the tire. These are all season tires and do not wear as fast as a snow tire so they can be left on the car all year. More expensive than your typical tire.

I would not use chains on 17" rims, the clearance is too tight.

If you have a garage, consider looking for a set of 16" rims and get 100% snow tires. The narrower width of the tire will make it handle better in snow.
