winter is comin...i wanna be ready for snowbord season. can someone recommend a good snow chain company. first and foremost, i care about the fitment. i do not want any dings or scratches due to a poor fitting set. second, ease of installation (least amount of time in the freezing cold the better). last, looks. thanks for any help.

 

That's one thing I'm looking forward to, is seeing how the Magnum does in the snow.

 

That's one reason I moved to Georgia from UpState NY...

I've done my time driving thru blizzards, don't need that anymore...

After living most of my life in Chicago area and going through some nasty blizzards, I just got tired of that white stuff. Sold my two snow blowers (big & small) and moved to Florida. Am not a big fan of the heat and humidity, but at least I don't have to shovel it.


Made the big move in 1999 and never looked back, enjoying the retired life at 64.

Bob, Chicago area, I from Chicago, born and rasied on the South Side in Bridgeport. With the way the Magnum sits so low, winter is going to be fun.

 

My old 96' Chevy Impala SS was terrible in snow, at least the factory tires were.

I ended up buying an extra set of 4 steel wheels and buying 4 snow tires, they worked great.

Chefboylee should have gotten the AWD Magnum, it would be awesome with 4 snow tires on it!

Love the Florida weather and my Magnum RT.

I would not use chains - I would use Z-cables which I have used on my Mercedes. They're no way near perfect either but the tensioners are a big plus.

 

NO CHAINS, I REPEAT NO CHAINS. The only thing I would recommend is spider spikes. Anything else has the very good chance of causing damage (not covered by warranty), have you seen how close the upper ball joint is to the front tires?

 

On the Mercedes or the Magnum? On a car which drives the REAR wheels like a R/T I would put the z-cables on the rear wheels.

 

dodgemech, the chains would be on the rear (the driving wheels). chains would only go on the front wheels of FWD cars or car with AWD. however, AWD would get by just fine without em.
via, who makes the z cables?
