I bought a set of chains for my 31x10.5 BFG AT tires in 1978. I have gone through the FJ55 Landcruiser, an 89 Ranger 4WD and am on my current Ranger and the chains still look like new. Maybe the reason is; the only time they were on was when I checked to see if they would fit the original Landcruiser they were intended for.

With 4WD I have never had to put them on. I have been asked if I had them with me at "chain required" check points. I did and they let me go, so I guess they have served a purpose. It is also comforting to know that I have them if I ever get caught in icy conditions.

 

the chains at wal mart FTW. haha cheap and work great. BY THE RIGHT SIZE OR LOSS YOUR WHEEL WELL

 

Cool, thx for the responses.

 

the diamond chains form les schwab are great we have a set for the explorer and they work awesome.

 

TWO YEAR OLD THREAD!!! NTFW!

 

I'd just like to point out a typo here that already got quoted once and never pointed out. And its ok; I know its something we all suffer from. I know it is damn near impossible for me to type 'range' bc my hands always add an 'r' before my brain can stop them. Maybe we should start a support group? I would be willing to host it if others would join...

 

R-F is our support group. lol

 

Well I'll jump in on this old thread with the other post ****** too.

Tire chains are good, buy them at any auto part store.

People use tire chains still?

We use Thule for our equipment at work.
