For early next season, I need to get snow chains for my 2002 Camry and I know almost nothing about the things. The tires are the P215/60R16 and I have been told I must get an "S" series chain to avoid damage to the car because there is too little space between the tires and the inside of the wheel wells. I also understand there are two types of snow "chains", with one being real chain and the other some sort of a cable or wire rope? ?Most snow chain sellers don't have much info on their web sites.
While I appreciate any advice or information my first questions are:
- What size do I get?
- What is the difference between the cable and chain designs?
- Which is better in this application?
- What should I expect to spend? Is one brand better than another or are they pretty much the same?
- Is one time of year better than another due to lack of demand, or lack of supply (summer?)(must have by late August,06.
