Read the owner's manual on what chains to fit, you'll need cable, or low profile chains because of tight clearances.
If you've got 4 winter tires, skip the chains, you'll not need them.
If you've got 4 all season tires, then chains can help in tough conditions and they'll set you back less than a hundred.
My recommendation, if you're gonna drive in snow conditions, is four true winter tires. Get a set from Tire Rack. They'll save wear on your summer tires, so while there is an up front cost, the running cost isn't bad.
Genuine winter tires have up to TWICE the traction of all seasons in snow or ice.
They're worth every penny.
