He's talking about Colorado

 

I went through the state of co last year with chains in the cab behind the seats in bags cuz I didnt have a rack.. didnt hit the I 70 during the mandatory dates tho . 25, 76 and 70 east of denver. regardless I'd rather have them hanging rolling through a weigh station. I have a rack now with chains hung.

 

In 5 years I've never been checked for chains in CO.

Mine are still in the bags, in my side box.
No sense in letting them rust on the hangers.

 

I see soneone has never used tire chains. how many bags... 2 ?

 

You just have to have them...I live in Denver and mine are still in the bag...they do snow really good...I came thru Vail 2 weeks ago complete blizzard I didnt chain passed at least 4 teoopers no issues...but you have a wreck etc when chain up is flashing you will be shut down and mega fined....

Be Safe Out There
