Hi,
I am an older woman and have a new 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R and I live in the Portland, OR area. I plan to do some winter traveling and would like a good option for snow chains. I know the manual says not to use them but what do you do when they are required in some areas like say the mountain passes or the gorge or when we have snow/black ice. I really don't need studded tires because when I am home I have the option of not traveling when we have dicey weather and it so intermittent. It's just when I am traveling to different weather regions or higher elevations that I will need them. Any suggestions? Someone suggested:
Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CG9 - Size 105
Item # TH2004205105 or
Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair Item # PW1046
Any recommendations for easy install? Do I only put them on the front wheels of the AWD?
Thanks,
Tess
P.S. Apologize in advance if I am asking silly questions.:smile2:
