Are tire chains recommended?
Hi all, My wife and I are heading to Glacier Nat Park in early September. I`m just wondering if having a set of tire chains is advisable? Thanks!!

I carry and why all my trucks/4x4's have gotten bigger over time
It has snowed or hailed or whatever in Sep
My chain kit is a 5 gallon paint bucket with a lid. Keeps the water, mud, snow, salts, etc
off the vehicle floor and that bucket serves as a seat
When had several vehicles taken to snow country, had one for each

Whenever am headed out and even a remote possibility, take the chain kit that
has EVERYTHING in it. Replace consumables when I get back and after washing
the chains (if used) and bucket

- Chains
- Roll of cheap hallway plastic runner to lay on, kneel on, lay on
- Baggie of tie wraps of all sizes
- Pliers, cutters, utility knife...local hardware store has $1/bins once in a while
- Chain repair kit (extra links, cross sections, special chain pliers)
- Wire
- Gloves. Both nitrile (sp?) and cloth (again that $1/bin stuff)
- Truck tension springs for the chains with extra rubber bands for chains
