My uncle said, instead of snow tires, I should use chains.
He used to be from around here, but lives in Texas now. Drives a yellow Boxster, by the way.

Chains on a Camaro? I guess maybe if it was REALLY bad and you had the black steelies. But chains are hard on tires and wheels!

Aside from concerns about damage, I couldnt understand how that'd have helped me last winter, when I'd drive to work with clear skies, and come out to 6 inches.

He kept pushing the idea, so I told him they are illegal in NJ (no idea).

Your uncle is using advice he probably got from his Dad. Unfortunately it's not good advice, I'm sorry. That's not to say he knows nothing.
