Chains! Accept no substitute. Learn how to use them. So many people are
apprehensive (not saying that you are Senor McNeely) and think that they
are difficult to install. I've been through snow storms here in Colorado
when there were simply no substitutes for chains. I would have felt silly
if all I had were those socks. That said, I stay away, way away, from
storms and the passes they haunt.......personal experiences lead to
personal rules...
