CA and Tire chains

Actually, they can give you a "fix-it" ticket if they ask to see that you have them and you don't at any scale in Colorado, I've seen it happen at Limon a couple of times, generally though they will give you a verbal warning.

 

And yet, they happen all the time, and on roads where you never expect to need them

 

I have NEVER been in a situation where it was a surprise to need chains... guess I just look and think ahead.

 

Never? Never ever? I had to chain in Minnesota once. Total surprise.

 

I had to at a customer in Minnesota. Couldn't get out of their dock. Lol.

 

now I still have the bruises from the last time the wind stopped.

 

never been surprised to need chains, and for customer docks, a little rock salt from the side box got me out. It is all about being prepared.

I was taught by my grandpa, that chains are only to get you out of trouble, not into it, and I have lived by that mantra.
