    Putting a chain on the inside of a dual set is actually no different than the outside tire. Just keep in mind, you won't be able to cinch the cams as easily...so adjust by getting the inside connection on slot tighter.

    No other State is like CO..."in possession"...at all times. All the other western states require chains "in possession" when in the chain control zone.

    On 80 (Donner), west bound, chain zone is basically from the Truckee scales over to the Applegate exit above Auburn....and the reverse for east bound. But the "chain zone" is "fluid"...depends on where the snow levels are at that particular time.

    On I-5, chain zone is Dunsmuir to CA border....no chain zone south of Dunsmuir....not even on Grapevine or Tehachapi.

    It's just sooo much easier with wide singles. Chain all four drives with waaay wide single chains, and you're done with it!

    Hmmm... wouldn't that be Romney's press conferences? Or Ryan's? They seem to be interchanagably un-informative... as much as Obambam!

    I generally don't go to CO... My company has a no chaining policy but we must carry 3 sets of 2 chains each (total 6 chains).
