    Could I get some opinions on here about winter driving,do you use chains or park it in snow?
    And if you hang iron how many chains do y'all use I heard thee's a lot of different combinations as far as where to place your chains,some just hang them on tandems,some tandems and trailer,some tandems trailer and steer,and do you use your power divider?

    Thanx

    Depending on where you are some states don't allow chains. Go slow, make sure your tires have plenty of tread and park it if you don't feel safe. Better to be late than dead. I've seen it on here many times, no load is worth dying for. My 2 cents.

    Every state has there own requirements. check with your state dot. I can make suggestions but be better to check local law first.
