C63 AMG Coupe- Snow Chains

Looking to see if my C63 W204 Coupe can use snow chains. Not much clearance and in Australia socks are not acceptable. Any suggestions?

How about 4 snow and ice tires like the BLizzak. I plan to mount the 4 skinniest snow and ice tires I can fit on the factory wheels. I bought a set of 18in take-offs just for next winter.
I have heard our cars a quite fun with proper snow tires.

No offense, but you folks are nuts! As soon as there is any snow, my C63 retires into the garage under a comfy warm car cover. I also do not believe there are chains that work, but I do remember seeing a series of posts about cables that are low profile and do not cause damage to the car.

I agree winter tyres are the way to go. I run Vredstein Wintrak Extreme on 19" OEM multispoke black wheels and they were fantastic this past winter.

Michelin alpines are legit too. They have far superior dry handling that blizzaks in my opinion.
