The chains are for highways so there is no turning fool.
Wouldnt winters suffice alone? We are talking apples to oranges with quattro but I certainly dont see many audi quattros with snows and chains. And ya, all highways in mountains are straight line. C’mon now
Yeah fool, didn’t you know all highways are exactly straight, especially in California

he’s talking about his RWD Porsche Boxster
those highways are actually pretty straight…but to make your point you should post highways in California that you travel when you drive to the snow
No lock to lock turns on a highway. You move the wheel maybe 15 degrees off center in chain control passes. It’s usually a 3 mile to 9 mile stretch where the elevation goes to 8000 feet and it’s constantly snowing.

OK so get 4 snow chains? You know the car has surprisingly accommodating yet limited storage space for a case of 2 chains I don’t need except the most biblical of winter weather emergencies?
In the case of California, yes - biblical downpour of snow AND within 5 miles of a major ski resort AND with summer tires, then you’ll need some chains on a Quattro.
I have a couple sets of these and like them a lot. Don’t take up much space either;

total folio post. Did you really post up a pic of the Bay Area to refute saki’s post?! I lived up in the hills on Bear Creek for a spell… While the roads are windy AF and frequently damp, Hell has frozen over if you need chains on skyline. Tahoe and surrounding; sure for about 90hours total out of the year. Living up by June Lake; yeah, you’ll probably want blizzaks on a set of winters cos you’ll be on packed snow for about a month or two. Everywhere else in Cali Central Valley and south? Yer an idiot if you think you need chains. What you really need a driver’s course.
It’s funny cos people not from SoCal wouldn’t survive the traffic there and people in SoCal wouldn’t survive real weather…
Actually no, I posted a pic of the Bay Area highways because that’s where Westwest lives and he called BigServe a fool while simultaneously making a blanket statement that all highways require no turning. I then posted pictures of the mountain roads because I agreed with Saki.
As far as lock to lock turning goes Westwest, the only time I ever do that is when making u turns or parallel parking. I doubt anybody’s doing lock to lock turning at high speeds. In the snow, I’d say highway turns are much more dangerous than any other turn because of the speeds. 90 degree turns are taken at pretty low speeds.
The chains are to prevent the drive wheels from overspinning, so you can climb an icy/snowy driveway or whatever. The speed limit through chain control areas is 25 MPH.
Ah, it was a tough thread to follow there for a bit; like 3 arguments at once? I was at least 3 scotch’s into the night to when I posted 
3 scotch’s. I stand under…
quite the non sequitur
