Well, my $80 chains were lost by USPS with no more in stock for that price, so I went on the hunt for the next deal after getting refunded by the seller. I found a pair of Autosock AL64 for $125 and just received them today. Now I need a dry day for a test fit on the 245/70r19.5 tires.

I had not heard of Autosock's until this thread, let me know what you think of them after giving them a test. I've lived in Alaska for 26 years previously and we all ran dedicated winter tires (studs or Blizzaks) and nobody carried chains.
Think of the textile weave of the socks like siping the tread on a tire. It offers all these extra nooks and crannies to get a better grip on a slick surface. They are flexible enough to make them self clearing but I suspect slush may be a negative for these socks.
