I have never seen anything that will out perform regular old tire chains. With crossbars if you can find them. ZOtherwise the beefiest chains you can get. Trouble is today many cars are not designed to take chains. Something to keep in mind when buying a car if you plan on driving it in the snow. These look very lightweight Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

Overall, this style with hardened-smaller links has proved to be the best bet. Quieter running than the ladder-link style.
Cable chains... great for leaving either at the side of the road or wrapped around an axle. They meet the letter of the law but offer little traction or safety.
An inexpensive bottle jack is a simple way to lift the car to ensure a snug fit.
Snug fit is the key to a longer wear and quieter, damage free ride. But I prefer 4WD. I have chains, but if I need to use them, that's my cue that I shouldn't be driving! What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

Those are cool chains Oso. I agree with R however, if I need chains on my 4WD, then I shouldn't be driving anyway WINTER IS OVER AND SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!

Very true R! I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!

A sure sign it's officially winter? When you hear a chain ripping the metal off a wheel arch over the sound of blasting rap "music" from a car's stereo system.

a bit late to the party.. you don't need the waiver to ride the sky chair if you are walking. Only bike riders need the waiver. The walk down is a different path this year and steeper.
Whips and snow chains
Glad the baby's safe.
