    It a 2wd and I used to run 97 through Oregon and in to California with my 5th wheel and tool trailers on it, so they got used sometimes.

    If you don't make sure the cross chains are free of twists they will break.

    Make sure there is no twists and they will probably last longer.

    I live 50 mi from Donner and pretty much go over it daily. The chaining on wet roads is no joke and hard on chains. Nothing like seeing sparks flying. I have used good chains and still had the cross links break quickly. I snug them so tight can barely get 1 or 2 cams to turn and bungee them. So I'm back to the bag chains because I was just burning money on Pewags.

    How early CA. makes you chain is a joke, actually it's a method to slow down 4 wheelers because they don't care about your time or money, well money if they get some.
