Working Saturday since I took Friday off to take the family to the zoo post.

 
Are they for driving on snow and ice? I really don't know. When I was a kid, my parents got snow tires and put chains on. They were real metal chains. I know the chains are plastic now. I have no reason to be up-to-date on snow travel.

 
They are mainly for slick ice and snow. I carry a set of real chains (steel) for when it gets nasty out. I've had to use them a few times during a freezing rain storm last winter where all emergency vehicles were required to chain up and general travel wasn't advised for the community.

I Have all season, all terrain tires fir year round use in Fairbanks; but since relocating to the Anchorage bowl; there's enough of a difference in the weather that I wanted different tires. Fairbanks ice gets hard and its like driving on summer asphalt. Anchorage ice hovers around the freezing point and gets slicker than snot on a door knob.

Now I have a spare set of rims permitting faster tire changes each season.

 
Not much sun here. It fooled me for awhile, but the clouds came and brought me back to reality. :(
