I use the Pewag snow chains, they're the European pattern (easy
install/removal) made in Austria. Don't remember where I got them, but a
Google search turned them up.

For my area, the chains are way better than snow tires - - we typically get
a half-dozen good wintry blasts which covers everything with ice and snow,
then a couple of days later it's melted off. Snow tires just get eaten up by
the gravel roads.
