Do you still use tire chains?

[In The Ten Ring]

I am the only person I know that still carries and uses tire chains in winter. I have found this to be the best and most economical solution to the occasional icy road. I drive a 2002 Honda Accord.

I use my 2 & 1/4 ton hydraulic jack and put the chains on each front wheel....I use the rubber tensioners and 6 clips per wheel.

I was in Vermont last March during Winter Storm Stella(?) and my tire chains allowed me to get up the steep and icy access road and back to the motel! It took me 90 minutes to make the 20 mile drive back to the motel but I made it.


Do you carry tire chains?

How do you prefer to put these on?
