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.
bentstrider83, Metallica88 and Tombstone69 Thank this. -
I have those too they're expensive but well worth it. Chaining is for poor people in areas that allow the socks.bentstrider83 Thanks this. -
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 longerbentstrider83 Thanks this.

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
Metallica88 and striker Thank this. -
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.Cattleman84, spyder7723, silinus vers and 10 others Thank this.

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.jethro712 Thanks this.

i think he meant in areas that allow socks such as interstate and hwy mtn passes. they wouldnt last on a logging truck i can tell you that.nofreetime Thanks this.

Actually, if you have 6 or more axles, you are required to chain all 4 on one drive axle, and the two outside on the other drive axle, in Washington state.
