Thread: Tire chains- for you frigid people

I'll shortly be moving to place that requires chains at least some parts of the year, but I haven't a clue about them. We carry tow chains 'round these parts Where is a good place to get them and what is a good type?

Well, I live in Canada, so you'd think we'd be experts - but tire chains, as far as I know, are illegal in all 10 provinces - they just chew up the road too badly. A good set of winter tires have always done right by me, though.

Good luck!

When one of your seasons is called construction, I can understand that

Yup, you got that right! Here in Canada, we really only have 2 seasons - winter and construction - both of which are undriveable! Ha!

I would say that it depends upon where to where you are moving. Here, Colorado, a good set of snow tires (I like Blizzak), will do you right, and if you need to use chains (whene there are chain restrictions on the mountain passes) then you really should not be driving period.

However, if you are dead set on getting chains, just go to your local auto parts shop, (Checkers, pepboys, autozone, ...) and they should have the chains. Make sure the chains are the right size for your tires.

Snow tires hmm? Do you just have an extra set of wheels with tires laying around for snow? That's not a half bad idea. You can tell how much snow we get here
