Yeah, who are the idiots here saying only pussies need chains? Try driving through the Blue Mountains in Eastern Oregon in the middle of the winter. Or over White Pass on Hwy 12 in Washington, or the Siskyous in N Cali, or driving up to Mt. Baker (WA) or Timberline (OR) to go skiing...
Two years ago I was driving through the Blue's stopped on the side of the road putting chains on my suburban when some jacka$$ in a dodge pulling a camper trailer went by at 50-60mph. Sure enough, 3 miles down the road he was upside down , backwards, about 50 ft off the road. I've got video of that whole thing + us spinning out a little while later even with the chains - anyone who says chains are for pussies obviously hasn't driven in any kind on *real* weather...
