Big bear snow chain or tires
 

So I'm planning on renting a cabin up in big bear or crest line for my gf and I for our anniversary of one year in the December most of the them in their description said that they highly recommend snow chains for the winter months but I've been reading that it's no Bueno for the twin ??? So I'm kinda lost I won't buy snow tires just for weekend that's kinda dumb imo what should I do ?

If it's just for a weekend, rent a 4wd truck.

My pops has a tundra just might ask him then 🤔😔

True. For a twin, chains are contraindicated.

Suggest buying a set of wheels with snow tires and maybe sell them once you're finished with them

...or rent a car. :(

Thanks sigh 😔😔😔😔😔😤😤😩😩😩😏

There is no reason ANY car can't run chains. Generally the limitation comes from whether or not there is enough clearance around the wheel for the chains. If you can install chains that don't contact the strut/spring perch and any other parts of the car (a tight set of chains should work) then you could run them.

But all of what I just said is moot, because I think if you're renting a cabin, you can afford to rent a more appropriate vehicle for a few days, which is the MUCH better option. It's one thing if you know the area, and you will be driving regularly, in which case buying winter tires would make sense, but you're going somewhere unknown, and it's best not to find out when you get there that you need something that can plow through 8-12" of snow uphill.

Been up there a couple of times just that I wanted to take my car up there I'll just ask the father for the dang truck lol

I pretty sure you could use tire chains. Read the manual for that one.
I know if you lower your car chains or have non OEM wheels chains will wreck things up.

but if it doesn't snow you good. If it does rent a truck or use your dads.

Hey, you guys are right. I could've sworn I read it in the manual but maybe it was some bullshit here.

So far, all I've found in the manual was "Be careful not to scratch your aluminum wheels with chains."

Page 186 winter driving. Do not use chains. Spring chains may be ok.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Confirmed - page 186:sign0012:

Your are assuming there's going to be snow there. Let's be realistic here.
