    Aw come on.

    None of you on a 15% twisty mine road in PA in a raging ice storm?

    Come east sometime. Get vertical in winter.

    I think mine said 22 mph but I was doing 25. The road did have snow on it the whole time or I would had went slower.

    I had to dodge 4 sets of broken chains in that little area. But I do agree if weather is bad enough would chain instead.

    Eh... it's nice. But they need some of that AMERICAN Moxie.

    They can invent whatever wherever. But come to America with it and use it. See if it breaks or not.

    That's what I mean. Norway does not have any terrain that will be a problem in winter. Im one of those idiots that love to hang off a mountain. I need that sort of thing.

    America is so big you see, most of the world with the exception of Russia do not comprehend how easily we break mediocre devices that are not built right.

    I had a set of Austrian ice chains for years until I realized that here in Arkansas I only get to use it maybe three times in 20 years if that. They literally rusted in the bag. If the weather was bad as all that, might as well stay home and work on the dinner meal in the oven.

    Note to anyone reading this thread and thinking about using them in British Columbia, Canada: DON'T

    They aren't legal (currently) and BC wants steel chains and chains only.

    For a 5 axle tandem-tandem setup, you'll need either 4 singles or 2 triples.

    And the scales will check upon entry to the province. BC stands for "Bring Cash" or now, "Bring Chains" lol.
