I'm looking for snowchains and looking for advice for snowchains. My main question is automatic or manual tension snow chains?

Automatics are easier and less time outside your car next to a snowy slippery road. But some people had problems with the tension system getting stuck (frozen?).

Manaul tensions chains are cheaper and not much can go wrong, downside is having to get out and re tension.

Whats are your experience with snow chains? and are there other things to look at for? I'll skip the cheap ones and get one of the known brands.
