    I don't chain, but the law requires me to have a set on board, and I have these. They're legal in every state and don't weigh much.

    I have those too they're expensive but well worth it. Chaining is for poor people in areas that allow the socks.

    Do you have a normal tandem axle set up or something different?

    how durable are they? they look to be about twice as expensive as chains, hopefully they last longer

    Keep your chains off dry pavement and wash off with fresh water when done and let dry completely. Keep them under your bunk they will last years

    Chaining is for poor people? I take it you don’t leave the asphalt often. I’d love to see the socks on a logging truck.

    Dry pavement destroys them so I hear. I don't ever chain up, but I keep these on board just in case and to keep the DOT happy.
