[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1393962, member: 14668"] Let me put it this way. I have never once regretted putting chains on, but there have been several times I have regretted NOT putting them on. Without knowing the particulars of your route it is impossible to give a definitive answer. Is your route hilly? Are you driving on packed powder or on wet, heavy slush with a layer of ice beneath? Got good tires? Got weight in the back? Are your roads typically plowed? My advice to you would be to ask if you could come in and learn how to put chains on before work one morning, or at night when you get back (on the clock, of course). Its a lot easier to do on bare, level pavement in the daylight. I can install and remove a set of chains in about 20 minutes, which is about 1/6th of the time it takes for a tow truck to pull me out because I didnt have them on. Bottom line is, its better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
