No, you were and are wrong and you might well cost someone. Right now, we have had deadly crashes out on I-70 from tourists from outside the region who INCORRECTLY believed what you wrote. That chains "Tire chains are no longer necessary." NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Sorry, Irish_Dem but I can't overlook this. You could easily cost someone their vacation, their car, their lives. I travel i-70 all too much not to be horrified and I have family in other states with revised/updated/increased penalties for ignoring chain laws as well. I mentioned NC. They got rightfully aggressive in the last state legislative session after a horrendous mullti-car wreck last year in their mountainous areas. And before you give me the "but, but, but--that's not a city," read what I wrote. Denver is included in the I-25 inclusions when the chain law is activated. Yes, Denver. Glenwood Springs, and Colorado Springs as well when chain laws are activated. All cities. True elsewhere outside Colorado too. Having seen the bloody aftermath of one of these multi-car horrors (with a transport truck) 10 years ago and being absolutely unable to provide any real help despite stopping soon after it happened, I will never get over those images and that sense of powerlessness. Would chains on at least a few of those vehicles have helped? I believe so.

Please, Irish_Dem. Research this before posting something that could be so costly to people who genuinely don't know better.
