:o snowchain???

Nobody put that on cars now, same here in Canada!...

The best is getting good quality 15" winter tires,
don't put only 2 winter tires on front, or your car will do 360 on the road!

But if it's only for a week-end, it's expensive to buy winter tires.

With snowchain you can't drive fast, the chain will probably expend too much when spinning on 18' tires...

FYI... for people not familiar with the snow chains... the snow "chains" available around here aren't really chains... they're snow cables...

I bought a set for my car when I was in Tahoe a month and a half ago, but never did use them... not sure how well it would work with lowered cars, was wondering the same thing since I'm headed up later this month... probably will rent a SUV though...

put the stocks back on ....and sum 15 dollar cables/chains.

you dont wanna mess up your daily drivers...

i drove to lake tahoe last year the chains popped and effe up all ,because the chains are made for ridding on 100% snow covered road here in Cali the patches of asphalt will shred the cables quick ..... feep an eye out for that. 8) 8) 8) have fun

dont put chains on your 18's... you're better taking a non-modified car with chains.

no stock. traded it with my 19's. Those dented so now i have these.

im not tripping on messing up these wheels.

The thing is that they have check points where u have to put on chains. so i dont want that to happen. Hmm i guess i will have to see then.
