Cable chains?
What brand/model of cable chains do you like to throw in the trunk for that one time when you drive through a chain control zone and they are required?
Currently rolling on Michelin AS3+ and don't see enough snow to switch to snow tires. |
The onerous manual says never to use cables or chains for any reason.
Bloody death will be visited on cute fuzzy kittens in that event. |
I drive through snow for 3 months a year but if I ever had to go someplace that requires chains I ain't taking the FRS!
I refuse to be responsible for kitten deaths. https://media1.giphy.com/media/11ChTixGfL1xHa/giphy.gif |

Well you've had your fun, but you don't expect me to believe that residents of Portland, Oregon (where it mostly rains) put on snow tires just to drive down I5 to California....
Also, the manual actually says a SAE Class S traction devices is allowed. Translation, cable chains for a low clearance application. Just figured someone might have experience with one that didn't abuse the fender liner too much. |

Where on earth are you going where you think chains are necessary? Off roading? |

Also, you seem to assume the OP is traveling on Earth. ;) |

If you traveled that area with regularity in the winter, and there were regularly storms which require chains, I might suggest you purchased the wrong car. Idk, I survived snow storms in NY and New England for many years without chains or even winter tires. And Vermont doesn't really plow sometimes. |

I think you're overlooking the fact that it's CalTrans that requires the chains. Not saying that a good set of studded winters wouldn't get you into or out of 95% of the places chains will.. |
