Tire Chains

[DBHAWTHORNE]

No Chains required..just tall tires, low pressure and a little bit of horsepower..10-15 feet of snow...no problem

Campmeat this topic wasn't about highway driving and chains. We are talking about logging roads. There was no way in hell your semi or any other rig was passing some of the ******edited**** we were in last week without chains. Regardless of your experience, tires or anything else.

Ya don't need chains guys. I've never used them elk hunting or where I live. Don't waste your money and don't listen to Les Schwab.. I've hunted elk for 30 years in the worst conditions and never, ever have had to use them. Just be slow and pay attention to your surroundings. I drove my trucks at 105,500 lbs and never chained up except for going down an 8% grade. Save your money and put it towards my Christmas present............ Listen to experience and not inexperienced rookies.

No offense , but you are so wrong about not needing chains ( at least in certain situations, like iced out hills and switchbacks) .I too drive semi for a living and there are some times you have to chain up loaded or not .

I'll agree, in some areas, but, that' s only for semis. I have 20 + years experience and it's really not needed. I've hauled on any and all types of roads you can think of. The OP is talking about a public road if I remember right, huge difference. Too many people are sheeple and believe evrything the gubmint says.  But of course, safety first.

What does the gubmint have to do with icy roads and snow drifts?

I have plenty of experience driving back roads, and there have been a handful of times I was scared silly WITH chains.  Without them, forget about it.

The guys that don't "need" chains are often the ones that spin out sideways and clog up the road until someone comes along who DOES have chains and can pull them out.

There is no mention about logging roads in the original post. So I guess if you can prove it, you're wrong. I've never needed chains. I guess you're in experience outweighs mine. I love it how people have to blow *****edited yet again****** out of perportion to be right !
