    I keep on hearing drivers talk to me about these "Autosocks". They're a great idea. But not practical in California and Oregon. These two states put chain law up at the drop of a single snowflake. You can't run them on dry roads. Hell simple wet roads can tear them apart. I'll stick with iron for chaining.

    A word to the wise...if you value that perfect CSA score and no violations.....and if you need chains...you need to stay off the road :)

    with the exceptional few what I've noticed is the westerners to mid westerners do not believe tire chains are nothing more then a dirty word.

    they are a reality..

    however, if you're not comfortable with it by all means, its ok to wait it out
