Default Help finding Chains!

Hi everybody!
I need help finding some tire chains. I'm going on a drive from colorado to seattle, and its going threw some really nasty weather, and I want to get a set of chains as a backup. My tire size is P235, 75, R15. Does anybody have any recommendations for good relatively cheap chains? I saw a pair at wal-mart, but i dont know about their quality.
Thanks!

Get the ones at your local Kragen/Autozone/Pep Boys. Just DO NOT GET CABLES no matter what. With 4x4 you probably won't need chains since a lot of places are "Chains or 4x4 required". Always good to pack though.

Cables slip way easily! They are round and don't grip. Check it out
