Chaining is safe. About the safest way to drive in snow. I can't get behind the thought of chaining being unsafe. Sorry but that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

I have always said I would chain once just to try it. I would go stir crazy sitting for days waiting for a road to re open.

I'm not going to waste any time arguing about this with people I don't know. My choice to chain or not chain has no effect whatsoever on your life. You go right ahead and chain up and play Billy Big Rigger and roll across Donner at a snail's pace if that's what you need to do to feel better about yourself. I'll be headed to a titty bar with a stack of dollar bills.

After I passed 60 I decided to spend as little time under a truck and trailer hauling chains around as possible.
I think if I was 30 I would be much less adverse to them..... -
If I don't want to chain I will go to work for a company that stays east of 35. Going to work for a western company that carries chains then saying you don't chain seems to me your trying to make the company conform to you. I will have to raise my concerns to my boss about how I think he should run his company
TruckDuo and joseph1135 Thank this. -
I'm gonna say this, because it's true and it bears repeating. Anyone who says "if it's bad enough to chain, it's too bad to drive" has absolutely no clue what they are talking about. I've seen it snow like hell in PA, Virginia, Maine, Ohio, Indiana and a whole bunch of eastern and Midwestern states. Like a major snowstorm. They do not have chain requirements. So using the logic of "it's bad enough to chain, it's too bad to drive" I guess in ice packed blizzard conditions, it's much safer to drive than up a snow packed mountain where the chains give you more traction. Sorry but this concept of the "anti-chain" rhetoric is based on either pure stupidity or laziness.
