    I have a 2010 4X2 tacoma sports. I am interested in purchasing snow chains as I have to carry one to go up the mountain in california. I am looking at Thule XG12 Pro 265 (p265 65 R17). JC whitney have it for $229 minus 20% off. I heard it is really easy to put on. I go quite a lot and would like to have ease of putting it myself instead of paying someone.

    Any suggestions or input is appreciated!!!!

    Strange... a girl has asked a question and its been almost a hour and not even a single response... Did I miss something? :p

    If I could help I would. I have two different sets that I have never even used.

    I just bought a set of Thule XB16s for my FJ and have only heard good things about them. I was considering the XG12s but the link diameter was a little small and provided less traction than the bigger linked xb16. The self tensioning system on the xg12 really works so if thats your really after I say go for it. Either way, they're both great chains with excellent feedback from various different customers.

    Amazon has the chains the cheapest (at least they did when I bought them) and they offer Free shipping. I signed up for a trial of Amazon prime and got free 2 day shipping along with a handful of other items i bought. I just recently cancelled the trial and it went smoothly, so that's another suggestion for fast and cheap shipping.
