Tire Chains

Jaymann · #1 03-20-2018, 04:46 PM

After the amount of snow we've had this winter, I've decided to get some chains. I was looking at the z-chains on Amazon. They seem quick and easy to put on. Does anybody have advice or recommendation for the brand of chains I should get? P.S. this will be for my truck not looking for atv tire chains.

Go to your local napa and order chains specifically fit for your tire. Brand doesn't matter. Cam locks and bungies are all you need

If you have the clearance around your drive wheels get the V-Bar style. I used to run a set on 2WD F150 and it was surprising what I could go through.

I bought some a few years at Greggs Distributor in Edmonton. At that time they had the best price I could find.

cable chains and lighter stuff work on ice but good V-bars are essential for deep snow on the lake

This is what I use on my FJ Cruiser.

Those Autotracs work great. They are a lighter Chain as well. Though they have pulled me through everything so far. I like them.
