where do you get tire chains?

So where are people finding the best deals on tire chains?

Best I have found is $90/pair and about $140 to ship via UPS or about $490 for 4 pair.

Check local truck shops/stops in your area. I wouldn't think paying to have chains shipped would save you anything.

check truck pro.. go to the truck stop and ask on the cb ... Normally someone has an "extra set"

There is never a "good" time to use them.... I have used them 1 time in 17 years.... My set right now is still in the bag new... been there for 8 years... If I go out west and they ask to see them I show them.. I try not to use them they are kind of dangerous if you get in a hurry or don't know what you are doing.. I have seen them tear more crap up than save crap..

in the northwest they are part of life if your a trucker, they may be dangerous but running with out them is too... and most of the states now have a chain law and if you don't put them on you sit till the law goes down or you risk it and get a ticket or worse..
