Yeah, when I bpught the car, the dealer gave me a paper that said chains will not fit, but other cable-types may fit. Then the owner's manual said this ---ug! They sold me a bit of a lie. Has anyone tried putting a cable on the front tires? It seems like it should fit.

Has anyone tried putting cable on the front tires yet? Does it work?

So, I just bought an fwd '11 Sport and though the Ford guys told me that it can not be operated with chains; though, other traction devices may work. I am concerned since, during the season, I ski weekly (but live in sunny southern california). I just checked the clearance between the wheel and the strut (?) and it seems like only an inch or so. Did they sell me up the river????? Are Cables the only option? (Man, I almost want to trade in my fwd for an awd version now ---guess I would take an $8k hit though).
