Snow Chain Recommendations

[Whitest Russian]

I recently purchased a 2018 GT PP1. I want to go up some mountains near me and snow chains are required during certain sections. I can't be bothered to put on different tires, especially since it doesn't actually snow around where I live since I'm in Southern California.

I'm mostly worried about my rims being scratched up. Does anyone have recommendations for ones that they have had good luck with?
These are the ones I'm considering:

Nope no way! When they require tire chain that mean there are pretty bad road conditions.

Look into snow socks.

I don’t see how those might scratch your wheels. Go for it.

It looks like rubber and plastic on the wheel...

I thought about this. Do you have any experience with them?

Well yea this is the smart option.

Step 1 should be to verify whether your PP1 tires can even handle the cold temperatures.

The previous owner put Falken Pro G5 All Seasons on.

yes I was really just kidding. I’d imagine those will not fit as well on your low profile tires compared to the all terrain truck tires pictured. As others mentioned, I wouldn’t mess with that. Rent a 4wd truck for the day or find a smaller mountain.
