Californians (or anywhere) going to the Tahoe in the Vibe

[eddiec]

Hi,I was just curious how people go about this - If you drive up during the snow when chains are required - what do you do. My owner's information says chains can not be used with the vibe - does that mean that cables are acceptable?Interested in hearing how people do this.

I just drive my truck. It doesnt need any chains Note: these pics are not mine, I found them on the SCCX web page.These are mines:http://community.webshots.com/user/kaybeejay

Seriously, chains are not recommended for cars with Alloy rims. They run the risk of damaging the rims. Also with the Vibe, there might be a wheel well clearance issue. Cables take up less space, so they might be ok.

I think cables would be OK. By the way, I am jealous, I have family that has a winter home in Tahoe. It is beautiful there. Make a snow angel for me ok?

Most likely suspension lift and bigger tires, so I would not go and attempt this.These are pics of a trip I made last year to Tahoe in a pretty nasty storm. Hwy 80 was covered in a good 3 or 4 inches of slush. Traffic had stopped on 80 and so my buddy and I got out to throw the football around.http://community.webshots.com/album/33772959ZnmxxX
