Winter Weather Tip - Installing Tire Chains

[SukmadikHo]

I'll be honest, I have never driven on snow with chains... Or snow, period... But these shoe strings/ chains look really unsafe...

Many modern chains do not require you to drive onto the chains see our YouTube channel for some examples.

When it's 20 degrees otuside, and your wife's asking "are you done yet"? and the kids are screaming "Dad I gotta pee", this is the best way to put on chains hands down. no muss, no fuss. cable chains are the only way to go. fast and easy. you spend more time untangling ladder chains, trying to adjust Alpine chains, or trying some new expensive gimmick. Cable chains. fast, easy and inexpensive.

IF HE DID NOT DRIVE CAR THAT FAR ON CHAINS HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO REACH OVER TOP DRIVE ON JUST TO LEAVE CONNECTION POINT JUST 4 INCHES OFF GROUND AT DRIVERS DOOR AND HE WILL HAVE A EASIER TIME TO CONNECT BACK SIDE HOOK

Security Chain Company recommends that chain tighteners should NOT be used on this type.

I like the part where the guy's arm is in the way so you can't see what he's doing. Thanks - that was helpful.

you can also get the rubber spider that goes on a heckuva lot easier, but keeping spare bungee cords is good too.....

LOL Looks easy here try chaining up in minus 40 weather up to your knees in snow

@Royalhighlander

id like to try that. Whats your state so I can try it.

[jinjimbob]

These cables are on backwards, the connection part should face away from the forward tyre direction.

[CoolasIce2]

@jinjimbob Yes. I saw that too.

[hmwillow]

It would be nice if you posted a second how to video that shows how to use the style of chains that split in the front so you don't have to drive onto them. Thanks!
