Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Glacier Tire Chains, # PW2028C, along with a set of Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW99. These chains are extremely popular with our customers and have a great price point.
The chains are perfect for occasional use, and feature rugged steel wiring covered with case hardened steel rollers for traction. These easy-to-install chains comply with all DOT specifications and fit either front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
For chains that will last much longer and only cost a little more I recommend Titan Snow Tire Chains # TC2324. I have included a video of review of these chains at right.
I would recommend consulting your owner's manual for any recommendations or prohibitions regarding snow chain usage.
I have linked you to a Snow Chain FAQ page that has additional information about tire chains.
