I live in the mountains of NC down a steep (in spots) gravel road. We don't get enough snow here to warrant snow tires and they plow/salt all the paved roads in my county. They don't plow the gravel road that I live on and it stays icy and snowy for a long time after a snow. Has anyone tried tire chains? The manual says that tire chains cannot be used because there is not enough body clearance. Has anyone ignored this advice and been successful? If so, what type of chains did you get? I'd prefer to use the Class "S" diamond pattern type with actual chain link.
