I have chains in my van for emergencies. But I go on a lot of back & private roads, not always with cellular access.

Also using the chains is abysmal. I'll try pretty much anything before I get them out.

Have you gotten stuck/slid much op? It's not like... Like I think it sounds scarier than it is.

Edit: also in the worst case your auto insurance will probably get you out of a ditch at no charge, the same way they'll send someone to change a flat to a donut. (In a blizzard maybe not, but in day to day stuff.)
