I really like my Dunlop winter tires. Even though my car is AWD I still get a lot of benefit from them. I agree with the second set of wheel suggestions. If you don't like the ugly black steel wheels (as I don't) you can get a cheap used set of rims for a couple hundred bucks at a junkyard. Re. your Chicago trip, I would use the winter tires and save myself the anxiety from worrying about sliding off the road when I'm trying to avoid some dipshit in a RWD muscle car doing 360's down the highway in a snowstorm.
