10 minutes to throw 4 easy to move around don't weigh much singles is one of the advantages to cables. But I'm still one that if I have a traction issue I'm throwing iron, I just use cable to make other people happy....he's chained all good kinda thing.
I do have to say however you've been running a pretty good testing ground for what does and does not keep you moving.

Wondering... any of you throw a drag chain if not required?
If I gotta put on chains. A drag seems like a very good idea.D.Tibbitt, God prefers Diesels, bentstrider83 and 1 other person Thank this. -
But hey, anything to get you up and over to the point where you could yank those things off and get up to normal speed again. I couldn't imagine driving for 8-10 hours with those things on at 10-30 mph and not get frustrated and slam the accelerator down. Long duration, snow/ice driving. It's like another form of Chinese water torture.Last edited: Feb 28, 2021

In 1987, my sister, bro-in-law and I went through Snoqualmie Pass on our way to go snow skiing in Idaho, IIRC. I had to pee even at the bottom of the mountain, but as we ascended in crazy thick snow, the pressure on my bladder became increasingly worse.
Half way up the mountain I was in the fetal position. Three-quarters of the way up I was punching the seat and wailing.
Finally, at the top, the first place we could even pull over, I ran as fast as I could, doubled over holding my lower abdomen to the rest room. I swear to the Almighty, I peed for about 180 seconds straight, full throttle.
Man, that sucked! But yet so satisfying.bentstrider83, D.Tibbitt and Lumper Humper Thank this. -
This is why I stick to the I-5 in the winter. It usually clears quickly. My in-laws use to live in Truckee near Donner pass, and there is no way I would ever live in that much snow. For a few months a year, the snow is piled up to the rain gutters, and you need to dig a tunnel out of the garage and front door to leave the house. Stayed up there once when 6 feet of snow fell in 8 hours overnight. I-80 was closed for 5 days.
