I heard a guy tell how he used a steer tire chained to keep from sliding sideways on a glare ice truck stop parking lot. The drive chains were moving him but gravity was sliding him down sideways. He was the first or only truck to escape that morning.
Never been in that situation but sounds plausiblebuddyd157, austinmike and HoneyBadger67 Thank this. -
Ya know with it that icy i could understand a steer chain if he had drive chains on but....Really? My rule is if its icy enough to need chains then its icy enough to park my happy ###.

I've seen chained steer tires in Canada's back roads before.
Crude Truckin' Thanks this. -
Looks like he got himself in a bind, and is in the middle of chaining. #### happens.
The real travesty here is that people are still using Facebook.Brettj3876, 86scotty, Rollr4872 and 13 others Thank this. -
This was posted on another site and they said the driver chained the steer axle because he thought his truck was front wheel drive.
That being said, I've chained my steer axle on glare ice to improve steering. It works but if you don't get the chains real tight you'll destroy some expensive stuff under the hood.86scotty, InTooDeep, snowman1980 and 9 others Thank this. -

Call me a steering wheel holder, call me a rookie, say I'm not a real trucker! BUT if it's so bad I need chains, I'm parking it and enjoying some good sleep. It's not worth it to me.
