    Since I will be heading west and noticed CO has a chain law in effect (already...) I need to pickup a set of tire chains.
    Anyone have a good recommendation for a decent priced source?

    I'd hate to replace what's on my truck.

    2 1/2 sets of singles and a set of 3-bars.

    It's only actually enforced on I70 from Morrison(mm259) to Dotsero(mm133).

    When you go out west, look for a Les Schwab tire center, thats where I got mine, cant remeber price but it was the best around at the time

    it's only enforced if you're caught with nothing on and your supposed to have em on.

    they won't just pull you over and check. unless you give them a reason to pull you over for an inspection.


    i've gone through a couple of times. but luckily it wasn't snowing at THAT time.

    Sometimes they will check for them when you roll thru the scales at Downieville.
