anyone have experience with chain purchasing in our area?
i am in downtown area, but i am pretty mobile if it's SD County.

got an Escape to shoe for a trip to Big Bear on Turkey Day.
just wonderin' since they are talking about snow....and i think it's be best to be ready.
kids will love it, and i like it if chained....
i do hope it does, would make the whole thing more "traditional"(*to where i don't got a clue...)
....tangent over....

chains, know where to grab a set??

Blind ..oh yeah, gotta have 'em by Wed night...leaving mid morn'...so might NOT need for main roads...but never know...prepared lil' scout(*or pretending to be....)

I haven't really looked for tire chains, but I remember seeing them at Pep Boys one year.

I have several sets of assorted size new tire chains I don't use. What size do you need?

haha, perfect timing!!!
i was thinking, maybe someone has...walking to confirm....yup, 235 70 R16
i have experience with chains and getting them on/off so chains or cables...
i called around...looks like 90ish for the cables...
online takes 5-7 days...we haven't had snow on these trips this early...
called most auto places....all mostly $90+....
worse case...i will...

Always bought mine at PepBoys. *shrug*

I found a bunch on craigslist.

Last night Santee Wal Mart had tons on the shelfs.. Most buy them use then return them..

thanks for ALL info!!

happily, a SDAR member helped me out!!!(*Zenosan gets GOLD T-Day star!!!)
i am gonna put 'em on tonight, and check fit...picked up by wife!
it was funny, from places to buy, i got about 50/50 in non returnable...even unopened !!! Wally-World was a "gee i dunno"(*quote) on returnablility....
but i was hoping to get ones from a garage, or closet...recycle the old way.
thanks for all the info, and the CHAINS!!
this community ROCKS!!!!!

Now if you could only get FN to stand over ur shoulder and give instruction....bonus!
