Sorry but either park-it or change to Performance Snow or All-Seasons. I went with Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60s on new rims from tirerack - see options at http://www.tirerack.com/snow. Search this forum for other perspectives on this but no one will advise even trying to drive with the stock tires.
I would try it first...
