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!!

Chuck&Gail and djgarcia, Love the comments. What are snowchains anyway? Drove a big truck and a pickup 23 million miles. Chained up 1 set of tires on Stevens Pass in WA because I was empty and it snowed 4 inches in 5 minutes. Snowflakes so big you could hear the SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
And folks wonder why I have tire chains in the rig! Snow here in the PNW is also a heck of a lot wetter than in the midwest. Once on the ground, it compacts with literally water coming out of it. Best to have chains at that point in time!
I'm also glad many of you have not, nor will pull in the snow. BUT, if one must, think about how you will do so, then try it and hope it works, if not, correct and move on, as long as one is not in a ditch!
