Thanks, but I only drive in the snow a few times a year, and most years I never have to use chains at all. I really don't want the expense and inconvenience of two sets of tires for this really limited use, but that may change when the Envoy bites the dust, depending on what we replace it with.

Anyone have any experience with Spikes Spiders on a C-Max? I have them for my My 2002 Envoy which supposedly also couldn't take chains, and they work great. Very quick and easy to mount and unmount. However, they are ridiculously expensive ($550-600). I'm going to buy the SCC Z6 chains for the C-Max for the time being, just to have for emergencies (and to comply with Oregon's chain law), but when the Envoy is gone i probably won't replace it with another 4WD SUV and might want to go with Spikes Spiders or something similar on the C-Max.
