Hi,
I live in snow country, Lake Tahoe, and never had to chain my car, 86 4KCSQ.
According to my manual "they" suggest puting chains on the front tires only.
Also check your tire size. I run 195-60-14m&s witch does not allow for tire
chains because of tire clearance. The optional stock tire size 185-75-14 would
allow for chains.
As for cable vs. chain, the cables work better in lower clearance areas and
also when/if they break they do far less damage to your car, commonly they
fall off where as a chain could wrap around brake lines, etc.
I beleave if the road conditions call for chains on 4wd, I'm not going.
Good luck,
Paul
