mimivroom Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I love snowboarding. I go to Tahoe a lot, which is the main reason why I bought a Subaru. I took my car up once, during a storm, and it was very dangerous. I skidded a few times, but in the end, the car and I was safe. I'm thinking of obtaining a (snow) tire cable for my car. Is it recommended that I have all four cables on my tires or can I just buy a pair? Has anyone tried this before? I am scared of ruining my car, as I have bought the car back in September 2012. Thank you and I will appreciate your kind response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWombat Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Tires, tires, tires. If you go to Tahoe often consider getting better tires. The OEM tires are pretty terrible in ice/snow. Either getting a set of dedicated winter tires (best) or Continental DWS all-seasons which have good snow performance. There's a night/day difference between snow tires and OEM all-seasons. As for cables, front-wheels only, standard FWD rules apply (<25 mph, etc). You can definitely chain a Subaru, but really if conditions are that bad you probably don't want to be driving. I carry a set of cables in my trunk but haven't ever used them. Generally, they're not needed on I80, Hwy 50 by Kirkwood is another story though.
