[QUOTE="gwpfan, post: 790537, member: 14481"] Idaho/Nevada/Oregon. I hunt chukar Sept-Jan 31. We get snow and ice, but the worst is side hills in which the 'road' is going downhill and it is also sloped downhill, with an 'edge' that is a dropoff/rollover waiting to happen. You get an ice base and snow on top and most won't go into such areas. Even on 'maintained' roads with freezing rain can't beat chains. I've been on highways you could ice skate on, the only people they were allowing thru was those with studs/chains/cables. 4WD's they weren't allowing thru. It was so slick you couldn't hardly stop without the additional traction of the studs/chains/cables. At that time I only had a 2wd pickup, but luckily I had chains. That particular instance they were waiting for the stretch to be sanded before they were allowing any cars thru without additional winter traction means due to too many accidents... Was in another scene in which a tight corner at the base of a hill, had to slow way down and couldn't make it with 4WD and chains on the back, had to chain up the front. Maybe could have made it out if I chained just the front, but scene was such the front was a real PITA to chain up, so tried the back first and it just didn't cut it. Brands I recommend, not sure what your after but I've had good luck with my last two orders from [url=http://www.tirechain.com/]Tire Chains by TireChains.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
