| I'm not aware of any website for that. Best to find a hand that can show you and let you practice with them. Good luck.

Couple tips: Tarp straps are good for keeping them tight once final tightning, go from say 12 o clock to 6 oclock on the outside tire and so forth. Never drive onto the hooks. And remember always have the chains tight. I have run 300 miles straight on tire chains without breaking a cross link but only because they were tight. As for speed I have done 50mph in tire chains and not a problem but again depends on the chains and how tight they are. Hope this helps Adam

 Chains?!?!?! Chains are those things that car-haulers like to drag behind them, right?  I ain't gonna' drive if chains are needed. If God had intended for trucks to drive on ice, He'd have give 'em skates. Duh...  |

Thats easy to say when you don't have bush roads to go into. For the 20min to put on and 5min to take off I will keep driving. The load has to get there and there are roads here in the Yukon where no matter how good the weather is you still need chains and these are major highways.
