  1. Most of the country does not require them this part of the world. We have a lot of snowy mountains, and it pretty much cannot be avoided. You will either chain up or park it. Donner Pass main artery California to Nevada most of our food comes out of there there they have chain check points up there and if you don’t have any or you don’t wanna put them on, they make you turn around and go back. They don’t even want you up there if you’re not willing to chain up. Are you don’t have any tire chains? Lots of over the road drivers think they can just pull off the road and sleep it out. No they do not want you up there at all because you’re just taking up a chain up spot.
  2. I think most of us did the same thing. Oh no, I did it a timer or two with Nissans
