    Chains are very effective at improving traction in deep snow. However, most of the time what looks like snow causing problems is actually snow on top of ice. While chains are also useful to get you out of ice, the best solution is studded snow tires. There are some non-studded snow tires out there that approach the performance of studded snow tires, and if your state does not allow studded snow tires you could look in to those. If you are going to do snow tires of any kind, I recommend getting 4 steel rims to put the snow tires on, and keeping your summer or all-season tires on the rims you got with the car (probably alloy rims these days). This is for two reasons. First off, if you do this, have the proper knowledge, and the proper tools, you can do the swap from summer to winter tires by yourself. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you eliminate the chance of breaking a Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor (part of the valve stem most any car built since 2007). Considering that those sensors cost the mechanic about $150, then there's the markup on the part, the hour or so of labor it takes to get the sensor installed and talking to your car's computer, and you're looking at something like $300 every time one of those sensors breaks. When you have a set of summer tire/rims and a set of winter tire/rims, all you might need to pay for your mechanic to do is get the sensors talking to your car's computer. If you don't trust your mechanic to get the lug nuts (or if it's a VW, lug bolts) tight enough, first off get a new mechanic, but secondly you can always spend $50 on a 1/2" torque wrench and $5 on a correctly sized socket, and check it yourself. Look in your owners manual to see what the recommended torque is, as well as the special pattern to tighten the lugs in (should be somewhere from 85-110 foot-pounds torque for most vehicles).

    I love taking pictures,video and editing. Is that what the position is called? "Public Information Officer" ??? If so this would be something I would love to do. I currently work at a Call Center and I've hated it since i started. 7 years now... much rather be helping and making a difference.
