Chains or snow socks (for Denver, Colorado at Christmas)

[Phimosis]

That is really bad feedback to give someone from Missouri who is driving in Colorado in December. People who have history driving in the snow may get away with it, though at least snow tires would be preferable over All Season. The "All Season" rating doesn't really cover freezing temperatures as well as snow tires do as the A/S compounds tend to get much firmer and lose traction.

My feedback is to buy chains. Maybe you can return them if they go unused.

It’s actually very good feedback. He didn’t say all seasons tires. He said all-weather tires. Snow tires are all weather tires.

Just to Denver to see family.

You won't need chains.

1 in a Million chance.

Save your receipt so you can return them. All your roads will be flat.

You know Denver is high desert, right?
They can be damn cold but get very little snow. I lived there 1993 to 2013.

Planning on going to Denver, Colorado for Christmas. Chains or some other means are required to avoid getting stuck in the snow. I don’t need chains where I am from. Does anyone have experience with chains vs Snow Socks? Are snow socks effective in meeting Colorado’s requirements?

If you have decent tires and are just going to Denver I wouldn't do either.
