For when you dont want to chain up

I'd think you would have to run thousands and thousands of miles with them activated for that to be an issue.

 

I would have a set, but they are not legal in OR when they have their chain-up signs on.

 

I thought they were.

 

they are great, some of the other dray companies in our area have them. the upside, you don't get cold, wet putting chains on. The downside, in deep snow they are worthless.

Better option is this: http://www.autosock.us/

They are not cheap, about $175.00 for a set of tires, but a couple of companies I know of locally that run them, the drivers love them.

 

i havent seen those before. they look interesting. public transportation back where i used to live had something like that on their buses running up and down the canyon.

 

Yeah, I looked into those before when I used to run the mountains of British Columbia, I did some reseach on them back then and they were developed for the mountains in Switzerland, just hit a switch on the dash when you need them.

They are not cheap though, about $5000 canadian, so I decided to stay with regualr chains. I don't even know if the auto sock is legal in Canada

 

Spoken like a true Chicken Hauler !

 

how about 8" or greater, that's not deep snow, that's a typical winter storm out here.
