Greetings folks. I'm getting ready to buy snow chains for the season. I've never bought them before. Are there any specific brands or specs I should be looking at? Thanks.

I've had good luck with these. It's all we run now. If they're put on right they wear well. They're not the cheapest chain but cheap chain will wind up costing you more eventually.Vampire, D.Tibbitt, Sirscrapntruckalot and 11 others Thank this. -
Same. I run square cross links as well. I can't remember the brand, but they were about $125 per single. $504 for the set.D.Tibbitt, Flat Earth Trucker, gekko1323 and 2 others Thank this.

I have 5 sets of new chains I won't be using this year I can sell you. But with shipping better off buying elsewhere

Keep one set of three-railers and hang it up in your garage. Every once in awhile go out there and look at it. Smile. Walk back in the house.D.Tibbitt, Midwest Trucker, Sirscrapntruckalot and 10 others Thank this.

Yup, turn on KCRA and watch them interviewing truckers on Donner. That's always fun and helpful too if you're missing the road. They always pick some scruffy gap-toothed specimen with a room temperature IQ from one of the southern states who's never been over the hill before and has absolutely no idea of what he's doing.
I saw one on the Siskiyous who was using his three railers for drag chains on his trailer. I mean drag chains too. He's bungeed them to his under ride bumper and was easing down off the hill that way. I guess he made it, never heard anything on the radio except guys talking about how they'd never seen that before.Opendeckin, D.Tibbitt, Hammer166 and 6 others Thank this. -
lmfao. I honestly feel bad for the guy.
"How come nobody else is running a 'drag chain'???"D.Tibbitt, blairandgretchen, MartinFromBC and 2 others Thank this. -

Dude had max chains and was at check area yep both drives check, one axle on trailer check, steers check, ho up steers yep. OK guess he was planning on an off road experience.D.Tibbitt, blairandgretchen, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this.

Siskiyous isn’t much of a hill to be chaining for in the first place. Either is Donner for that matter.Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.
