There are places chains or snow tires are required. The ticket for not having them can be pretty high, as well it could be very unsafe. For those who don't live in cold climates but travel to them and only have all season tires instead of a dedicated winter set, chains might be the only option.
This is the category I fall in to. I live in Phoenix, AZ so it would not make sense for me to have a winter wheel set. However, when I travel into the snow I need to have chains with me incase the weather gets really bad. In some cases, if you are pulled over in an area that requires you to have chains and you have chains in the car, the officer will not write you a ticket. He will simply pull you over and now you have to put them on.
