Does anybody know the names of any large car accessories stores in the US?

Cheers. It's in Memphis which is a bit far. And they didn't have specifically what I was looking for. I'd really need a chain store ideally.

Some of them do. Sam's Club's have a lot of stuff too, tires and the like. What I am looking for are like snow chains but they are studs that clip around the tire. They would not be sold in Wal-Marts. Lowes do garage stuff for the house as opposed for the car.

Studded Tyres have pop rivet like spikes manufactured into the tyres.So you pop into the local tire shop and they remove your regular tires & do a swop over to studs rims and all .:p

Yep, hence the "chain's" ( or whatever they are called) as opposed the tires.
