Snow Cables or good old fashioned chains for 33" tires?

Ok, 1st the good news. Thanks to a job promotion, I may be moving to Lake Tahoe by the end of the month. Won't know for sure until this week sometime.

Bad news....holy sch-nikes it's expensive to live on the North Shore. Which is the side where the office is and where I'll have to be since they often close the hwy from the South. Those of you from Cali. will know what I mean. And no...I'm not commuting from Reno! Have you ever done that pass in a snow storm? Never again, I thought I was going to die.

So looking like Truckee or if I'm lucky, North shore somewhere. Hopefully for less than $1400 a month. Sigh.....

Need to get those 33's on there ASAP after Sierra Trek this upcoming weekend. So with that in mind, how many of you have used cables on 33's?

I know chains, but I hate installing them. Not a big deal for every great now and then for a High Sierra's get away, but if I'm living there and will be putting them or leaving them on etc., need something a bit fancier. This is what I've come up with so far. Want to buy them now and not wait for the 1st snow fall. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the SCC Z8's because I can use them off road. The others have that plastic (dorky looking but may make installation really easy) plastic cap that I can see being destroyed with one high curb or rock rub!
