Tire chains? I've never even seen a car or truck with tire chains. Also its hardly that cold around these parts the average temp for this area in November isn't even freezing.
Also the average temp for san diego is 62F with half the month cloudy or partly cloudy with rain. Hardly beach weather.
Edit: Also on the west coast you have all the smog and crime and hippies.
