Does anyone have any experience with Thule CU-9 Easy Fit snow chains installed on 19" tires?

Need to have snow chains in the car if going over CA mountain passes.
If you live in Orange County and have an xi I doubt you will ever need chains. Mountain roads are always plowed. I have taken my 135i up to bear before in the winter with no problems
I'm taking a trip to Portland in December and the state requires chains (especially for this 4 mile stretch of the 5). I def do not need them here in OC - staggered summers 24/7. I don't want to get caught in the mountains.
