Studded snow tires might be okay, but not chains

I wonder if you could use them at the drags in summer? Good dig off the line. Maybe www.tirechains.com will become a CF supporting vendor.

If you run'em at the drags,make sure it's at night,,you'll get the light show award.It's been over 45 yrs,when a buddies mom picked him up from a club meeting in an old stick shift Plymouth.The side streets were still snow packed,but the main streets were only wet.The street was uphill and she couldn't drive a stick very well,stalled it the first try,gave it the gas the second time.All of us were awe struck as she light up the whole neighborhood with about a twenty foot long shower of sparks that lasted about 15 seconds for about 50 feet.What a sight!!I can just visualize 3 times the horsepower,and posi-traction would really put on a show!!!

Look in your owners manual - it states do not use chains on the car. Goodyear makes a snow tires for the C5 in the EMT type.
