Tire Chains

I've been looking at tire chains for the Cobra.

I really can't be bothered with snow tires, what with swapping on and off and storage. It's very rare that I even get caught in a storm so I just want something that will let me _move_ over snow, if need be.

The impetus for this purchase was a storm last friday that left me completely immobile on about a 1% grade less than a mile from home. DOH! These tires just float on the white stuff. :)

If anybody could recommend a good set of chains to fit on a 275/35/18 tire, I'm all ears. The ones I'm looking at are Z-chains.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Cable chains are nice and light. I have a set of Cobra's for my Ranger and they role up neatly into a little plastic box. Got me home from ten miles away.

I've "toyed" with the idea of putting chains on the Shelby myself, but I decided against it when I thought about what happens if a piece breaks loose. I carry a spray can of instant traction in the trunk in case I ever get stuck by a surprise storm. Don't know if it will work, but I hope I never find out.

tire chains are far better than snow tires, but the cost is if they break, with the new plastic cars you might lose a fender. as it will beat your car to death in a few seconds probably before you can stop
