    Default TIRE CHAINS!

    What stores in US sell tire chains and maybe somebody know how much they cost, maybe some web links...
    Thanks a lot.

    For passenger cars...

    How about http://www.tirechain.com ?

    Depending on the type car you have, your car website may show chains. BMW has some online.

    Tire chains are useless unless you are going skiing on Everest and don't have the stamina to climb up :P

    Thank you all for the responses, but I meant real-life stores like Wal-Mart, Autozone or Discount Autoparts or any other major retailer with such automotive parts...

    I don't need them to drive with, I park the car underground, about 45 dgrs on-ramp, unfortunately the ramp is no longer heated underneath (saving freaking energy), they start taking care of the snow after 9 or 10am when I always leave for work at 7:30am so if a major snow comes down over night and no way to get outta the underground I just put on the chains (front wheels only), got out and then take them off right away, also just in case of road emergency, stuck anywhere on a country road in deep snow, so in no way I need them on public roads...

    What's a cable chain (as I've never used tire chains in my entire life)? ops:
    And how long it takes you to put them on (2 wheels only, the ones with the traction of course)?
    Thanks.

    really simple, just drive over them, clip em' on, and your set. No adjustments necessary.




    not as good as regular chains, but their much easier and quicker to put on plus the added traction+ braking power is worth it.
