I've tried everybody within reach, but nobody carries tire chains any
more!

The roads are 4" deep in glare ice, and snow is forecast for the next
couple
of days.

Plus another couple of weeks of Ice Age (global warming)

Any advice on making a set of tire chains?

Yes, don't. It's a waste of time and money. IIRC, don't you live in a
place where you need snow chains once every twenty years? Just wait for
the global warming, and if you get tired of waiting, call AlGore to come
down and breathe some hot air to melt the ice.

But when you do need them, you need them real bad!

So, if you buy a set of chains that will fit your car's tires, and don't
need them for 19 years, but replace the car, can you trade in the old chains
on ones that fit the new car?

Or are they sort of a "one-size-fits-all" kind of thing?

(I've obviously never used chains.)

Thanks,
