lol, I thought his question was also clear that he needed them for tires. Chains without a doubt. Cables are garbage in my opinion, I've never seen them work will, and even when properly installed the seem to just spin around the tire and flop all over.
Go to les schwab and buy the 'diamond fit' chains, they work awsome. I used them on an AWD van, my truck when I had 31's, and now the explorer with 31's. If you don't use them, you can get a full refund at the end of the season.

If Ford says chains will void your warranty, I would go with cables and see how it is. If you don't like it, switch the chains, and if something goes wrong take off the chains before you take it into Ford.

No worries
I just appreciate the help and advice! We put cables on my girlfriends VW (cost us $80) and they broke the second day. I am no longer under warranty, so I think I may try the cables and see how those due me. I only need them to get up/down a pass or two. The rest of the drive should be smooth sailing.
I recently purchased the Toyo Open Country A/T tires, I am very happy with their performance. We had a snow storm come thru back in November. A lot of cars/trucks were spinning out going up this hill. I spun for a second, but then kept truckin' right on up. They are great in the rain too, which is more prevelent up here.
I am glad I found a site just for Ranger's. Be sure I will be back, I don't know if I can answer any questions, but I will undoubtedly have more to ask you guys.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you all! :
