Minimum Chain Requirements

BC are required from Oct. 1 to April 30th. No requirements as to how many you have to have on. Just common sense, put on what is required to get you over the top.

Common Sense, something that can't be educated, legislated or regulated. lol

Seem to find most info for BC.
Lots of must carry chain routes.

http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter_chains.html

 

If you were smart, you'd forget about the minimum crap. You would have a set of triples for each axle so you don't screw the rest of us up on hills.

 

bc you need one of the drive axles done up, none of the silly american stuff of trl and steer axles

4 cables = legal.

 

Pretty sure that BC has minimum rules,(I just can't find a link) 1 drive axle fully chained (triples) for tractor semi trailer, 2 axles fully chained for trains, but if you are going to put 1 set on you may as well do both. And as far as I know if you enter the province in bc from oct 30 to april 15 you have to carry chains.

 

I only ever do 1 never had to do too^

 

1 set works ok until some "new canadian" spins out in front of you and you have to restart. knowing the road makes a big difference too. I know BC loggers that have never chained on the pavement and never had problems.

 

Loggers are crazy around here and i'm told it's even crazier out in BC so that doesn't surprise me!!!

 

April 30th* Ive even chained on may 1st for the kootenay pass
