    Chains for tires?

    Where can I get the chains that wrap around my tires? I am probably going to get some blizzaks and just in case I would like to have some chains in the trunk for some support when needed. Can some one tell me, do they come in different sizes also?

    Thanks

    You should be able to get them at any tire store. You match them to your tire sizes.

        certainly.. but with snow tires, you want to go as skinny and tall as possible. really short tires (195/60 is a bit undersized) work just like numerically higher diff ratios; they multiply the torque you put to the ground which makes it easier to spin the tires. if you go with a taller tire (even taller than stock) it will have the same effect as having a wider tire, but you'll also want a skinny section width to cut through the snow. I would at least go 195/65.
