Chris,
You won't need the chains. If you did, I'd be up there in Truckee.
EDIT
BTW, if chains are required on a 4X4 it's called an R-3 condition. I haven't seen them run an R-3 in years. They just shut the road.
Of course, make sure the tires are M&S and in good condition.

CHP will check to make sure you are carrying the chains, even with 4x4 and M+S tires. They can and will turn you back if you don't have them. I have had this set for years unopened. And I have been turned back for not carrying a set. :messedup:

CHP will not check for chains. There is no law that says you have to carry them, it is only advisable. But, if you are in a big rig and get stopped at the truck screen in Applegate without chains, Caltrans will turn you back.
If you got turned back it was because it was R-3 or the CHP didn't like you.

Now I need a set of chains.... Barry or Richard, still have a set available?

Chris is correct. I've gone over the passes for years now with just offroad tires and have never been stopped for chains. Just checked with a co-workers husband who is CHP and he said they do not "stop" for that specific reason unless the vehicle is not "equipped" for snow in hazardous conditions, ie: snow/offroad tires.
