  I think this is a pretty serious problem around here, corrosion
in the winter can disolve the cable/chain.

  Motoring 2000, a canadian driving show, has a weekly
"Midas tip of the week". One of the tips was to check
that cable.

  The mechanic told the story of a customer who had
a flat with an SUV, and at the roadside realized that
the spare was gone, and may have been missing for weeks
or months. ;>
