They aren't on the trailers.
It never occurred to me to look at the second axle, you can see the whole set up clearly on the first. -
I’ve used them twice.
Once in the gorge in Oregon. About 5 miles worth of wet road. The night before was 10x worse at 3 in the morning but no chain law in effect.
Then the other time was at home in the flat driveway. Parked with warm tires on the ice. Came back out and just spinning....... put 2 Sox on and backed right into the shop.
I have never thrown tire iron. I avoid the bad weather as best I can and if it’s bad enough to have to chain I’ll just park.....
I have been checked twice by CO for caring chains. Passed both times with the socks in the bags.lual, 4wayflashers, Farmerbob1 and 1 other person Thank this. -
By the way it didn’t take 5 total minutes to install and remove them. Takes longer to get stopped than to actually install or remove them.
I have 1/2 fenders really close to the tires so the socks were really my only choice or remove the fenders?lual, Isafarmboy and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
Chaining up or unchaining isn't bad. The passes aren't bad. It's the stretches leading to them that are the kick in the ###.
From what I've personally seen, the inexperienced driver, or the one that just shouldn't be there at all, fouls up long before the top.
You just have to hope it's not in front of you.
Your skills, you'd have no problems. -
