chain recommendations for winter mountain travel 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan Fisher on  Mon Nov 27 06:45 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Here's an obscure question:

Does anyone have any strong feelings about what snow chains are best for my 850 turbo wagon for traveling in the cascades this winter? I have Khumo ultra-high performance tires on right now (205/55/15) and do not plan on getting any different tires. Travel 97% of the time in non-snow/ice conditions so existing tires work great, but will be making a few trips up into the mountains where chains are required.

Thanks in advance for any information or stories you pass along.

Cheers,

-Dan

PS-The alternative is to take my girlfriend's Escort with studded tires, but I prefer the crash protection (active and passive) of the Volvo over the Escort.
