    Anybody see those autosocks? They tested them on the Eisenhower service road with a couple trucks. I guess Colorado likes them as they've approved them for use. Haven't seen anything in the other states. They seem to work pretty well, watch a couple of videos on them.

    Lets see....cloth on wet asphalt....umm.....somehow, that doesn't sound very resilient.....don't think CA will go for that one!

    I dropped at the McCarran, NV (outside of Sparks, overlooking Mustang(s) and the ranch...heh heh heh)....and noticed all the England day cabs have the auto-chains.

    Probably saves them money in the long run. They aren't having drivers delayed, (or to lazy to do it when needed.)
