Tire Chains - Simple Installation

[gamesbok]

If I could roll forward a couple of feet I wouldn't need snow chains.

[wildernessinnovation]

@gamesbok Perhaps you wouldn't even need snow tires either, haha. I prefer to put the chains on before getting stuck. When I observe that conditions are getting to the point of needing them, I put them on, it's much easier than after getting buried. If I get stuck first, then I just have to do it the hard way. Thanks for your comment.

@AlohaSiempre True and thanks! I never wanted a set till I bought a condo at a ski resort and fixing it up myself ran afoul of the steep and poorly plowed road. I do not have a 4x4.

[wildernessinnovation]

@PotatoGunsRule they are a bit of a hassle to use, but it sure feels good to be underway!!

[PotatoGunsRule]

Bought my first set today..ALMOST put them on just now but salt on the road is sufficient. Will take your advice and practice soon though.

[PotatoGunsRule]

@34dibs No chains on "all season" tires? Why not?

[wildernessinnovation]

@PotatoGunsRule I don't know, one of our viewers said this. I would use them if it would get me out of a jam, regardless...even if not ideal..

[AlohaSiempre]

@PotatoGunsRule chains or for any tires that are on a car or truck that is sliding dangering people or property... if you can't grip the road put the chains on no matter what tires you have on your ride... yes chains can damage your steel belted raid.. if your worried get a set of winter tires. personally.. I'm from Hawaii, I'd stay home. lol

[supertruckerporkchop]

You should really considering putting the hooks of that rubber tensioner facing out!

@ 34dibs - You can chain ANY tire out there, providing you have the proper chains.

chains destroy the tires :(

[wildernessinnovation]

@0N33Y3G0D If used properly and not excessively they are not too bad, however chains are typically used as a last resort, and as such, they are very worthwhile vs being stranded somewhere. Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great day!!

[AlohaSiempre]

@0N33Y3G0D sliding on ice KILLS hehe cars and people.. if your slip sliding.. use chains or stay home...:) be safe. :)

you can't put chains on a radial snow tire or 4 season .It will come of the tie.

Very helpful information. I appreciate you're doing this to help people out who don't know how to put chains on tires. God bless!

[GIJose84]

I live in california so no problem with ice, but i always got curious about putting chains on the tires, and who knows, I might need install chains someday

[MrRafaTV]

Thanks for taking your time to make this video. It's very informative...

[creamyfilling102]

it's a good thing we can't see anything you're actualy doing with your hands.

[mykiandi]

When putting on the chain tensioner rubber it is wise to position one of the hooks into the outside cam chain connection hooking device to secure it with a little more than the metal ring.

Nice video! im worried about u tho, u need to quit smoking!

[AfriKonArtist]

That's not a chain tensioner its called a bungee cord

[AfriKonArtist]

Ur sposed to lay it down flat on the ground and drive over it then connect it.. Not put it on then drive forward that will make it harder then it should be

[idahochas]

@AfriKonArtist no. he did it the right and easy way. youre a dipshit.

[ylen13]

What if you live in an area where it never snow and all of the sudden it does.  Do you really expect me to practice? :D

[wildernessinnovation]

@ylen13 Haha, well just watch the video a few times so you have it down in your mind. Have a great day!!

[vdavis1959]

[wildernessinnovation]

@vdavis1959 Thanks man, I love those chains, they are awesome!!

[bigsammieking]

Nice ! Always wanted somone to show me how to slap them things on. Don"t look to hard at all

[DiscoverySurvival]

I have a set of those for my compact front wheel drive car. They come in handy when I need them even though I don't end up using them that much because my snow tires work so well. I install one set on my spare tire in my trunk and I leave the second set in the trunk. If I get stuck and can't move at all I just change the tire that's spinning the most and if that isn't enough I'll install the second set on the tire I removed so I can swap it out for the other front tire.
