Snow in LA, there is a scary thought.
Some of the guys from BC may be able to answer you. I believe they are legal there.
Here we have studs. No extra benifits in snow, noisy, expensive and they make a mess of our roads.

Are chains even legal anywhere in the US?

In our owners manual it clearly says chains are not to be used as there isn't enough clearance in the wheel wells.

QFT........Any road that requires chains to drive on is going to be in miserable condition due to said chains, especially here in Cali. If you hit a nice hole or bump in the road the suspension is going to compress and those chains will inflict some serious blunt force trauma on your fenders. No matter how good you are at putting on chains they will flop around some when driving, I wouldn't risk it. Chrysler doesn't seem to think it's a very good either considering they took the time to advise against it in the owners manual.
Please take our advice man...Dont run your caliber Anywhere where chains are necessary. Even with good snow tires, this car was complete crap for me in the winter, and we get alot of snow. If they are saying chains are necessary, the road conditions will be extremely bad, possibly ruining your car.
Youd be better off buying a 500$ beater and using that.

Agreed! or go rent a vehicle and drive it like you stole it! Unless you did steal it....just remember to wipe any prints off LOL!:bigthumb:
Yes they can have chains!
Here is his response;
"Hi Dagny ,
Yes your vehicle will be able to handle chains. Also, one of the best snow tires is Blizzak's. I hope this helps and try to stay warm.

I double checked with Colorado Springs Dodge, and that representative says the Dodge Caliber can handle chains!
