Snow chains

That gold color indicates cheap Chinese material. I knew someone who ran those cables and did a much better job.

 

Tryggs have a good reputation. If I wasn't such an old fart and set in my ways I'd probably give them a try. We'd have to wear out all the Pewags first and that takes a while. Some of our trucks go all winter and never chain up, some of them chain up three or four times a day.
California...especially over Donner...is famous for putting up the chain sign when they see the first snow flake and you end up running on bare pavement. That tears up chains faster than anything except running them too loose.

 

I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 miles, maybe a bit more, about a dozen chain ups / off, on my cheap Chinese chains I got at Freightshaker ( $60 pair ), before the cross chains started to fail.

Either repair with repair links, or toss into recycle or the old truckers home and get new ones. I got new ones.

 

The old man would get a couple hauling seasons out of his Tryggs. This was chain up 2-3x a day for 4 months a year kinda work. Cheap chains might last a couple weeks. Heard of guys tearing up those cheap v-bar chains in 1 or 2 trips. Its worth paying for quality when you're depending on them to earn a living.

 

What about Quality Chain out of Hillsboro, Oregon?

 

I run Pewags, good and heavy square link triple railers. Hell I've never chained up a truck other than a pickup with anything but triple railers.

I order mine through my supplier that also sells wear items (teeth and cutting edges) for construction equipment.
They ain't cheap, but doing what I do I've destroyed what were supposed to be "Good chains" from one of the truck dealers in one hill. Yes not one trip, one hill.

 

I was going to mention 6 Robles in Yakima I think Spokane as well.
Or BJK in Umatilla and get good chains, sorry OP but I run heavier chains than that on my pick up.

 

I have a set of chains that were in my 2wd pickup when I got it. Never used them, and if I have to hang iron on my pickup, I'm turning around.
