Snow chains for a lowerd tc?!?
 

mountain high has 55in of new fresh snow!! so im planning to go up there tonight but one problem is that im lowerd on tein stechs and hwy 138 requires snow chains.. im thinking that snow chains wouldnt fit cuz my rims are +35 and its hittin the fender a little...

will snow chains fit yay or nay?

No! way. snow chians will flex while driving and will hit your fender .

im in the same boat as you.. but i have 19s and lowered on hotchkis springs.... the snow is calling me..

they snow wires i think witch will be a safer route

^^in this case, I think English would be the safer route.

snow tires FTW. i'd be scared to put snowchains on my tC. even though its not lowered...

dang that sucks...i was thinkin of taking my car but since im on s-techs..im not gonna risk it. so im gonna take my pops F250 up :D
im going up to snow summit tomorrow to do a lil night session. i gotta redeem my free lift ticket i got at ski dazzle so why not right? teh powderz should be niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

we live in socal. It barely snows and snowtires = $$$. Besides that, if they went up and it was snowing, chains would still be required.

I suggest just waiting a day or two...i bet the mandatory chain requirement will be lifted sometime this weekend so long as it doesn't randomly rain...

yea but here in cali, even if you do have snow tires....if its 2wd, chains are manditory.
if you your 4x4 with snow tires...you dont need them

or AWD...subie snowboard trip....

since when did states make chains mandatory?

hahahahah serious sh!t. im still trying to convince my buddy to let me borrow his STI to go up to mammoth in a couple of weeks.

ill get it...

you watch hahahaha

were in california....that should explain enough

in cali, anything that falls from the sky requires some law

yeah, i understand about the mandatory chains. but yeah, with the OP's car lowered, chains would be a bad idea

Im going up to the mountains next week for christmas....I aint drivin my car though. When i heard about tire chains i was like hell naw! Sucks man.

you might want to look into z-chains.
