bjgross Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The air is starting to turn a little crisp, so winter driving conditions in the passes can't be far away. I have read a few posts on this forum, lauding the performance of the IS AWD in the snow, and I am really looking forward trying out the AWD feature on our new 07 IS250 AWD. I also haven't seen any posts on the use of chains, so thought I would throw this out. I plan to keep the stock wheels and M&S tires on the car, and hope that will handle 99% of what we run into. Just to be on the safe side, I want to purchase chains. Anyone have any experience with chains on their IS250 AWD? Issues with wheel well clearances? Recommendations? Thanks!

Here in Southeastern PA, the only vehicles I see with chains are the mail truck, the school bus, and police/ambulance/emergency vehicles.

bartkat Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I believe there's something in the owners manual about chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo1 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 You'd probably will have to use cable chains as there are few real chains available for 18" wheels. Try tirechains.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
