I live in Texas but last November I went to Washington state so I bought some chains on a friend's recommendation. I've never had to use chains before so I wanted something easy to install for those unaccustomed to using chains. They had decent reviews and a cheap price, so I took them. I was actually quite surprised at how easy they were to install. I have a 2020 Kia Sorento so I went with the 9-12.4 inch kit. They fit him perfectly and seem to be quite durable. Luckily I didn't have to use them, but I think they're a worthwhile purchase for those who won't be using them all the time. I doubt they would last if they had to be used all winter.
