Side note: Recent storm brought alot of snow in SoCal and i got to use the chains all around once again.. unbeatable grip, even with ABS lights on D:
Just a thought what seems better? :
9.5 w/ 265 - all around or 8.5 w/ 255 - all around
Seeing as a normal 4.8is has 9.5 up front would running a stag 8.5 -255- (F) and 9.5 -265- (R) seem good?
265 around = decent stance but tight chain fit
255 around = odd stance and flush chain fit
8.5 x 9.5 stag = no clue.
Chains feel safer than winters to me, but for a new setup it will be decent winters + chains.

most conditions good winters are enough. chains are good to have, however. And I have a 4-5 hour nightmare story from this last weekend up in the sierras involving regular M+S tires, unplowed roads and 32deg temps, plus an MDX which is just a glorified FWD vehicle. We had chains but they didn't fit the tires well at all, so we had them fly off at least a dozen times. Not good. I was so unhappy that we didn't take my X5 with the real snow tires - it makes all the difference in the world in bad snow conditions.
