I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS Plus2 225/55/R19.

So, where exactly is it that the chains are supposed to clear?

Dwight, never heard from Mazda USA or the dealer regarding this issue. I agree with you. I don't need snow tires, but I do want to carry some kind of traction device for those times when they are required.

This notice came from the dealer, right? Did you contact Mazda USA about it. Because the dealer made me sign a similar notice, however, when I contacted Mazda USA about it, they didn't know anything about that and reassured me I could use chains. See Mazda USA's response here.

Chains? Nothing. That's why I want to buy a pair to have them.

Yes.

Too late. I just got new tires this summer. Seems too much trouble to get a new set of tires exclusively for snowy conditions when I'll only use them a couple of times a year. Chains/Cables seems the better move here.

The dealer made me sign a paper. I contacted Mazda and this was their (Mazda's) response: This came from Mazda USA.

I live in San Francisco, not snow country. However, is close enough to snow country areas I'd like to visit.

I replaced the Toyos and now have Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS Plus (225/55 R19). I also received a notice to use cables instead of chains (I had to sign a paper that I had been informed about this), but this appeared to have been a dealer issue because when I contacted Mazda, they did not know...

I don't know what the statutes say, I just hear chains whenever some kind of traction is needed in snowy conditions.

San Francisco, CA. While not needed here, sometimes when traveling to Lake Tahoe or Yosemite (two of my destinations), chains are required.

What is the advantage of cables over chains? I'm in California and all I ever hear here is "chains" not cables.

I'm in the market for snow chains. I have a 2018 CX-5 Touring (AWD). Can someone recommend good snow chains to get? Thank you.

It's a combination of freeway and street driving. My commute to and from work takes me around 10 minutes (without or light traffic), it's under 5 miles. But I'd say it's mostly street driving.

I don't understand this? Why are you saying this? Nothing has been changed on my car until this past issue I had with the radiator and that's all it's ever been replaced. No engine has been replaced, just the radiator.

AWD, 19". On the brakes, is it better to change them all at once or not? I'm thinking that I will have the brakes done by the dealer when the time comes. I've been looking around at tires, trying to figure out which ones are best for me. I'm setting aside $2K for both the brakes and the tires...

Putnam Mazda in Burlingame hooked me up! Thanks.

I would agree with this. And my dealer has been good to me, even before this.

Makes sense. It was the dealer who decided to do it for me free of charge.
