Snow Chains!!!!

I gotem on my 02 3.0 with 18" wheels! they rock! but....how long should i keep them on? I know take them off when i get to regular pavement with no snow or ice, but is it safe to keep them on over night so i dont have to put them on again in the morning?

Yeah I heard about the storm. Hope it let's up soon. Don't know anything about chains. If you find out let me know. I believe chains is a generic description of cables also. So I'm trying to figure out what kind to get if i ever need them. OBTW did you see this?? http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...e-go-snow.html

I did see that, unfortunatly i haven't had a chance to try it yet. The most of the snow is already gone, it's raining now up here. the chains work really well, but the ride is bumpy and you have to go slow....no more than 30mph
