Hello all. I am making a trip down to Southern California in a couple of weeks from Vancouver, BC. I have looked at the other posts regarding snow chains and have done a lot of research over the past week or so to find out what chains will work and if one or two sets are necessary.
I will be traveling I-5 most of the way and understand that the stretch known as Siskiyou Pass south of Ashland, OR has frequent conditional road closures requiring chain use. If any of you could offer any advice on I-5 winter conditions in Washington & Oregon, recommendations on chains (I have stock 235/65 R18), and clear up the confusion on how many sets of chains should be used on an AWD MO. Common sense tells me two sets but the owner manual says one set on the front and others have mentioned the same???
Sorry for the long post.
