tire chains for 2K impreza RS

Could anyone pass along the name of the manufacturer, model, etc., for tire chains for a 2000 Impreza RS? I've got the standard P205/55R16 tires and it appears that "S" class chains will work, but I'd like to hear from someone who has actually purchased chains that work OK with their impreza. Thanks a lot.

just get snow tires, and you'll be fine. They don't stop Subarus with snow tires. It's the best.

Usually yes. But you are required to carry chains even w/ AWD. Also if your tires are not snow rated they can make you put chains on. I wouldn't worry if you have all-season tires. I've never been asked to show my chains, they just ask if you have them. If you buy a set, get the cable kind as suggested. Here's a link:
