Re: Tire Chains
« on: Dec 20, 2010, 09:20:26 AM »
Looking for a either 1 pair or 2 pair of chains to fit a set of 315x75r16 (35") tires. Preferably v-bars but if the price is right regular will work.


  Go to a truck stop and buy two sets of "singles", get a set of chain pliers, and build them. :flamer:.  The cross links should fit your tires with some side coverage, they need to be moved closer together to get the right spacing and then the excess links of the side chains are cut off.

Try and get a set that has cams. The side with the cams goes on the outside and they are the last thing you tighten up.

Don't use bungee cords... :shakehead:  If the chains don't stay in place then they are not put on tight enough.
