In December if you go across I 70 from Denver you will need to have tire chains !!!
There is a requirement for commercial vehicles to carry chains in the winter, but not personal vehicles.
If the chain law is in effect, I would wait a day before heading through the mountains anyway.
There is a new rule now that CSP does enforce- any vehicle without adequate tires or chains can be ticketed and turned around. And towing a trailer will draw attention.
Understood, but it is my understanding that just having the chains in your possession would not get you out of a ticket (and an expensive one at that). They would have to actually be on the vehicle in use (unless you have M&S tires with adequate tread).
This is most likely to come into play if you get stuck on the highway. Maybe it is just me, but if I was in an RV, I would not be driving when the roads are so bad that you need chains to make it over a pass.chains to proceed.
