don't use either. get a good pair of snow tires and you won't need them.

I would not use either. I agree that a good set of winter tires is just what the doctor ordered.

Good winter tires are fine. If you get REALLY bad snows where you are, then get studded winter tires. Chains are a no-go on stock rims.
