The highway from my mountain community had chain requirements due to snow a couple of days ago.
The California Highway Patrol says chains, or 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles are allowed if they have "snow tires", My 2019 GT-R has 19" wheels with Toyo A36 tires which are stamped M+S (mud and snow) on the sidewalls. I understand that those are really "all season" tires and not dedicated snow tires.
There was a document included with the owners packet for my car that said that you could not put "chains" on it. I assume that they mean conventional chains ? How about cable chains and has anyone found a brand that do not have fitment or clearance issues with the suspension components like some have reported ? I sure would like to have a set available. I live on a pretty steep street and feel that they would be helpful there and of course on the highway if there are travel restrictions.
