To put it simply, I don't care what kind of truck or tires you have sometimes having chains means the difference between going about your business or being snowed in for days at a time. Trust me the roads I am talking about are impassable sometimes unless you have a relatively high ground clearance vehicle and snow chains. Not too many other ways to put it.

And to answer one of the previous questions regarding whether I have received an answer to my original question. The answer is no.

Thanks for clarification. I did not me to sound argumentative, so I apologize if I did. I was simply trying to uderstand "why chains". We don't see/use chains much here on the east coast. We get plenty of snow, but don't have the elevations you do.

Good luck to you.
