I used to love going up I-70, having to chain before the tunnel, running in that tunnel doing 20-25 mph shaking like a blender, coming out the otherside and the cars and trucks are piled up, heading for a spot to check what is left of the chains, switching out the bad ones and pulling all the broken links out of the tires, then get another 10 miles and the road is only wet but nowhere to pull over to take them off,at least they started putting pull offs for that but in the old days we had to pull to the shoulder and take our chances with the traffic, and now we have them stoners who are not caring and think it is fun to buzz and splash us when we are struggling, or that snowplow driver with a full blade ready to bury anyone standing or crawling around. At least they fining the cars that do that anymore and if they get stuck they get a huge fine also.
Chains broke while driving.

Try to keep them in the snow as much as possible. Dry roads are a no no plus if its ice only then Chains are just skates

This was most likely the problem.
I was going 45-50 dry, bare road.
But it’s snowy (unplowed) on the side/surface roads and then the freeway is treated with melty stuff and it’s dry and clear of snow.
I’m not trying to put on and take off the chains 10 times a day.
