I live in a lake-effect snow belt and my 535d easily handled over 2 feet of snow in my driveway. Where I live, looking cool in the winter is not an issue, since it doesn't much matter how 17's look on a car covered in road salt and dirt.
Well so far, my 275 35 19s and 245 40 19s handled amazingly in the 10" of snow we got. From a dead stop just using all season lexani tires. I may be fine for this winter, will look into them before next with studded.
