Ram 1500 snow chains
I'm headed out to chain-up states this December, so I'm researching chains for my pickup, a 2013 Ram 1500 'Outdoorsman' 4x4, with 265/70R17E tires. The owners manual states I need "class s" chains ...

I personally am good with cables. If they work on our buses on the occasional bad winter, they'll work for my truck. Really, cables/chains only help once the snow is packed.
That's funny you mention cables on buses, both buses in the Seattle video that were stuck sideways on the hill had cables on them! :) The SFD fire engine that crept cautiously yet successfully down the hill had real chains on the rear and cables up front. In my department we have tried cables but they quickly get shredded on hills. They are fine for lightweight vehicles though, and perfect for the requirement to carry chains.
