2008 9-7x manual says no chains. I have a set of autosock chain alternatives for normal times. (In WA 4x4 must carry chains or alternatives when 4x2 are chains required)
I would like to hear about anyone's story of making chains work. Basically, I would like to run chains on all four corners.
I have also heard (always dangerous) that taller narrow tires are better in snow than short fat tires. My thinking is going taller and narrower on the 9-7x 18" rims, and that perhaps this would allow chains to clear. Any advice or experience would be appreciated.
I am two hours (normally) from my 90 year old dad. I have 4000 foot Stevens Pass to contend with, and potentially 5 miles of not plowed road and 200 yards of not plowed driveway. I have for many years had a Dodge 3500 dual rear wheels 4x4 with four chains for this purpose. I would like to set up the 9-7x Aero to take over the Dodge's purpose here. When you absolutely positively need to get there
