It also might be a good idea to ceramic coat that area on top of adding that weather seal. I'm heading out to Mammoth Lakes next Saturday so I'll just coat it real quick and check for condensation when I'm up there after a day or two. I don't want to find oxidized aluminum or rust in the future.
Usually people who live in snowy areas won't put chains on down here. It's mostly for people who visit places where it snows like Mammoth Lakes or Lake Tahoe since most of the tourists don't know how to drive in the snow. They also don't know how to drive in the rain if that tells you anything...
