    Made by Quality Chain Corp. of Hillsboro, OR. Are these any good? I see them for sale in various truck stops. I was thinking they might be a good compromise between the cheap Chinese-made chains and more expensive Pewags.

    It can take practice to properly install tire chains. If I was 100% sure I was installing them properly and had run miles without throwing one or more chains ff of the tire I would buy the more expensive chains, if they were more effective or easier to install than the cheap chains. It might be just as cost effective to buy the cheap chains and spend some of the money saved to carry items to repair any broken chains. I'm a non-chain driver with just a little chain experience. There are real tire chain pros on here. Do what they recommend.

    Never heard of them, our city drivers mostly carry cheap chains, our road drivers and mountain drivers carry Pewags, usually get a couple seasons out of them
