    i wouldnt drive over 25~ 30 mph with them on....its not about being comfortable to run faster...like Joseph said (hard to believe i agree with him)...they arent designed for that...and its harder on the tires....

    CHAINS? Are those the Link looking things in the Box on the passengers side of the truck? I was wondering who I would have to tow? I wasn't planning on me getting a tow!. joseph I think he understands he may be running to fast! Can you say Fed Ex Ground?

    I want to know where he drives because I don't want to be anywhere near him. I'm not even close to kidding. That was the one of the most frightening posts I've read on this site since I joined in 2009.

    Nope. FedEx still passes me. I will agree that I should slow down if it helps me from snapping links this winter

    His thingy on the side says, "WannaBe" I'm not sure he is with anyone> I am with you on this being one of the most scariest post in all times, he needs to slow down, I don't think he has the age to go with much Common sense. I think he is pulling your (tire) chain!

    Anyway, does anyone have any good tips on getting the chains tighter? I saw some tire chain tools at one of the TS in Spokane. Are they worth looking at?

    Thank ya. I think I will go ahead and do that. Also, I do appreciate everyone's feedback, even if most of it is criticism. I will slow down though.
