    Chains??? Too many choices!

    That’s not how they’re advertised ... my experience so far on asphalt driveway/road and concrete garage would appear to support the the advertising. I am concerned with the latest wet weather in the northeast, where we’ve lost most of our snow, of doing too much driving over over dry pavement...
