Do I really need chains?

OK, I should always listen to my gut. Against my better judgement I bought a set of cable chains. Figured it would make the wife happy, and IF anything happened I would have a little extra help for traction. Just now went out to put them on for practice and a trial fit. No way they will work. Just can't get them connected. I tried about everything to get enough slack pulled over to make the last connection. Double-checked the part number and it was correct for my tires. So now I have a useless set of cables. Lesson learned. Save the money and use it for a room. Think I said that earlier!

Made it up, over, and down Wolf Creek Pass today in the snow. Not a problem. No chains and left it in 2 wheel drive. Scenery was whatever we could see within about 200 yards, but driving was fine. On to Jackson!

A little cheesy, but I wish I would have thought of the idea. (If you need to nuke because they aren't a sponsor, understood)

Mine go in the 4Runner in October and stay through May.

What do you do about the fronts? I drive a 4runner and have been thinking about spacers to get clearance.
