Question Tire chains/cables?

Anyone use tire chains/cables on their Evo X yet? I'm going to hit up the snow soon and noticed the manual said no chains, but what about cables? I'm still running the stock tires/wheels. Thanks.

Look on craigslist. I'm sure someone is selling a used set of snows that may fit on the cheap.

might be cheaper to rent a car if this is a one time thing.

Where do you live? I'm guessing 'Reese Tuned' means you're in San Diego? And which mountains are we talking about and how often?

To me chains/cables are same thing. But regardless: cables + Advans = ditch. If you're in SoCal and plan on heading to the mountains a few times in the winter, you'll probably want to get a set of AS tires.

Tire rack has some test where they compare studded tires to snow tires. The snow tires won.
