Planning on using tire chains during a blizzard? Wes Siler is here to show you how they work—but more importantly, when they don’t. Most of the time, you’re better off running a modern studless winter tire, like these Nokians, and staying home if conditions reach the point where those might not be enough. And if you still think chains are going to get you through this season’s worst conditions, make sure you know how to recover a stuck vehicle.
