Planning a PNW trip in early April and want to stop by Mt Rainier / Crater Lake possibly which I understood is still winter season with chains required (or at least in car). What I'd like to understand is:
1) Can stock 19" AS tires on MYLR allow me to drive to these areas (ASSUMING I'm not driving in a snow storm and it's the morning after and there's still snow around)?
2) When do I need to PUT ON the chains/auto socks?
I basically never go to snowy conditions so don't really want to buy dedicated winter tires just for a ... once a year trip.
