Default looking for tire chains or cables - SnoClaws?

Has anyone heard or have used these before?

SnoClaws/GoClaws...

Apparently it's not compatible with A4/A6
Winder is coming, I plan to take my A4 skiing this year <ul><li><a href="http://www.flextrax.com/install_01.html">SnowClaws</a></li></ul>

I remember hearing that you shouldn't run snow chains on quattro.

Default Wasn't clear from your first post, but if you have snows, you should be OK

Heck, I used to get pretty good traction w/ just my all-seasons.

Default You don't need chains at all with snow tires and quattro.

You'll be impressed by how much traction you'll have. Unstoppable combination!

I was wondering why you had winter tires if you're in Vegas when I started reading that.
