I use the cable type chains on my Syncro rear tires.Now that the 4 wd is fixed Ill be driving without them except on ice.
But the cable type chains allow you to drive faster and I use an extra bungee to really tighten them down on the tires.

I am not very experienced with chains, though we used them back in the
sixties in Texas on very rare occasion for both snow and mud, and I used
them in Kentucky a few times.  I have cable chains for my Prius, and I used
them one time two years ago.

I will be traveling in the camper this winter.  What chains should I get:
traditional ladder style big link chains, modern diamond small link chains,
or cable chains?  Of course, I hope not to use them, especially with the
new Comtrac tires I just ordered at Les Schwabb.
