Winter tires are best for driving in snow, with features like deep treads and softer rubber compounds for better traction and grip in cold conditions. Some popular winter tire brands are Michelin, Bridgestone, and Goodyear. It's important to switch back to all-season or summer tires once winter is over for optimal performance and longevity.
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.
In Maine, it is recommended that drivers use snow tires or have all-season tires with a mud and snow (M+S) designation during the winter months for improved traction in snowy and icy conditions. There are no specific laws requiring the use of snow tires, studs, or chains in Maine, but it is strongly advised to use appropriate tires to ensure safety during winter driving. Drivers should also comply with any temporary requirements or restrictions that may be in place during severe weather conditions.
An all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle with good ground clearance and snow tires is generally considered best for driving in snow and ice. Some popular choices include Subaru Outback, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60 due to their AWD systems and winter driving features. Ultimately, the best car depends on your specific needs and preferences.
In avalanches, the individuals who are typically affected the most are those closest to the initial breaking point of the snowpack or those caught in the path of the cascading snow. Density of the snow, terrain features, and speed of the avalanche can all impact the level of danger and destruction for those involved. It's important for anyone traveling in avalanche terrain to have proper avalanche safety training and equipment.

No, snow tires aren't necessary for a vehicle with 4-wheel drive. You should look at the type of terrain your vehicle will be driven on most frequency.

Mud terrain tires are not used inside the city highways because mud terrain tires make much more road noise than an all terrain or highway street tire. Most mud terrain tires also use heavy duty construction methods.
Winter tires are for use predominately in the snow and All-season tires are exactly that meant to be used all year around. You will not get as good a traction on snow with the All-season tires as you would with the winter ones but the decision comes down to what part of the country you are in and how much snow you get.
