Yes! Tire chains are legal in Wisconsin. Chapter 347 of the Wisconsin vehicle code states that tire chains of reasonable proporations may be used when required for safety during ice and snow.
I own a 2004 Audi Allroad with the same tire size: 245 45 R18. Found my chains at Walmart for $35, don't forget the special bungies to keep them tight on your wheel. ps Chains are not illegal in all states. I believe chains are illegal in all states of the US unless you are driving a fuel tanker but I could be wrong. Although I have never seen chains in that size before. If you want better traction I suggest buying some snow tires.
The very best reviewed snow tire is the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 but it is expensive. The very best budget snow tire is the General Altimax Arctic and is just as good but noisier and rides a little rougher.
The Saturn manual does not recommend conventional chains or cable due to tight clearances between the tire and front suspension. The Spider chains recommended by Saturn are over priced at $400 Plus. So I took some measurements and the clearances are tight. I purchase some $40 Cobra Cable chains made by Quality Chain, Hillsboro, OR for 235/60/17 tires that came with the Vue. Auto Zone selected the cables on the computer and recommended a set of cable tightners for $5. I installed the cables and tightners and check the clearances. The cable to Strut has 1" clear and the top of tire to underside of the strut spring support plate is only 1/2". So I drove it on dry asphault up to 20 MPH and had no noise. I believe cables will work well, if you keep your speed down and decrease it if you hear any metal to metal noise.
