OP hit one of my pet peeves.
More and more manufacturers are making cars that don’t take chains.
Some states, such as CA, still require chains on certain mountain passes when it snows–doesn’t matter what kind of tires you have on your car (although this is rare for AWD vehicles, admittedly).
And I’m sure OP will look on his/her next car to see if it takes chains, as will I, but it’s not something you think of until you’ve been bitten. For example it’s not something that gets mentioned in model reviews by, say, Edmunds, Consumer Reports, or Kelly Blue Book, to my knowledge. So the next time I go car hunting I will have to physically look in the owner’s manual of every car I test drive (or plan on test driving).
