    i don't think i have ever made 1000 miles out of a set of regular chains without making repairs to them. so if they do last that long that's pretty good.

    I looked into a similar product and found that they are very noisy when not in use as the chains hang loose under your axels.

    Something to think about if your going to install them.

    exactly


    Not really, maybe in the city or rough roads, but the guys who have them say they get used to the sound and stop noticing it

    Figure we run refer... It would be a toss up on which one would make more noise :)

    Well hubby decided we are going to get them... I'll give a review when they are on the truck.

    Keep in mind that's what I've heard I have not personally tested that. Although if that's true that is a large improvement over what we have been using for years. And much cheaper and more cost effective IMO.
