What car are the chains/cables going on? From what I understand Subaru does not recommend.I have two sets of cables in my shed I'll take a look see if still there and what size it will fit on.

So I think you're right about subarus not needing it due to the AWD lol. But its going on my 09 impreza hatch. If what Recuer is saying is true though, then i should definitely at least just have them present in the car. I dont have winter tires though, wonder if that will make a difference?

Do the cables work Ok for the WRX? This is my first winter with my subie and I was worried about the clearance because of the official Subaru stance on chains but have you had success with cables? All 4 tires I assume?
Cables never worked for **** in my old rallifart. But it was a mitsu..

you'll see it noted as " All vehicles, including four wheel or all wheel drive vehicles must carry traction devices upon entering a chain control area."

it is true.... there is a code for it. you just have to "carry" them in your vehicle. now, you can always take your chances to not get caught of course. there are plenty of stories of AWD people never getting inspected for it, and stories where people did.
