If you live in an area where chains may be needed take a quick look at this video on tire chains and chain tensioners. Be sure to practice before you really need to use them. Chains can be put on easily in 5 minutes. From http://wildernessinnovation.com

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

  • @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.

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

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

  • @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..

  • @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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
