Winter is already here for some of us. I'm curious as to what others in different parts of the country and world are using. There are also other uses for chains other than snow/ice. Such as getting extracted from mud, sand, etc. I actually plan on using these this winter now that I replaced the heater core in my truck. I have not had a heater for almost 5 years!!
I got this set in the mid 90's for another truck I owned. I just recently pulled them out and fitted them to my current truck by adding a link and also getting a set of dedicated "chain bungees". You can also see I have the chain/spring tensioners for backup when the bungees fail.
What I like are the ice breaker blocks welded to the chains. I'm pretty sure they don't make these anymore. The new ones have the option of "V blocks".
As far as mounting it's just like mounting a tire. There are hundreds of different ways to do it. I like simple!! I just lay them across the tire, attach the hook inside the tire and rolling chain clip outside the tire. It takes about 10-15 minutes for both tires without moving.
