I'll tell you what, the first time you stop trolling, and actually figure out what you are typing about I might give something you type credit. Until then you really don't have anything to do other than post nonsensical information about products you have no experience with do you? It's like comedy relief to see what kind of garbage you can regurgitate on the intardweb. Wait, I know, I should go get some Grade 100 chains and have them custom built by a company in south america for rally cross because lord knows that's what I'll need. lol Those chains on the tractor trailer I used to ride in were replaced so many times in the thousands of miles that got put on it because they got loose, oh wait, they didn't. That's right because I was smart and used extreme duty rubber bungee's or metal springs to pull any slack out of the chains and retain tension.Greybrick wrote: Those look like they'd get you up some ice hills a few times but I wouldn't depend on them to do a couple of hundred miles.
Lol, no I didn't do a lot more 'research' on these Blink after I saw in the installation video that the kid didn't know how to put on this set of chains, that told me enough about the company selling the product.blink32 wrote: You probably didn't even do any research on this product or the RUD product did you? It doesn't surprise me one bit that you didn't. It's ok, your lack of knowledge is still funny to me.
Ahh yes, you should never ever have any traction at all on a tire that is supposed to provide forward momentum or control direction. Again, you're posting more nonsense. I personally hope no-one reads anything you post and takes it for legitamite information. Let me run out make sure the world knows that they should put chains only on the rear, un-powered wheels of their FWD vehicles. Oh wait, you'll come back and say "but but but, I meant when installed on a RWD vehicle". Hrmm, I guess if I only had one set of tire chains I would only install them on the driven set of wheels, but with two sets why not put them all around to control all aspects of traction?Greybrick wrote:Hope your photo doesn't get anyone thinking that forward wheels are the correct mounting for driving chains.
Have a look in your owners manual Blink.blink32 wrote:Ahh yes, you should never ever have any traction at all on a tire that is supposed to provide forward momentum or control direction.

Crawl back under your bridge troll. Or not.
Captain, I too prefer cables when dealing with cars. They end up being easier to manage.
Yeah, when one has chains on, along with the rest of the traffic, the only option you have is to go the same speed as everyone else. Any slower and there will be problems. I've seen it so often on I-80 and the smaller highways-some yahoo behind you wants to go faster so they pass, or at least try to pass. Usually there's so much crap between lanes that these idiots lose control. Or, especially on I-80, people will only be driving in the slow lane, so the passing lane just gets filled in with ice and snow. There are only a tiny number of roads in CA & NV that actually impose a mandatory chain requirement for all vehicles (2 & 4 wheel drive), but that's only when conditions & lack of snowplows warrant it.Captain caveman wrote:Ive seen when I lived out west trucks and cars diving up to 40mph with chains.
Found a set of balls under that tail Blink? Flame away.blink32 wrote:I got a meeting troll. You can get me later.
To help this argument, Graybrick out of this post can you please give me two links to sites that prove your post. about stretching and keeping it under 5mph ( not another forum were othere did the searching for you.) you do the searching.Greybrick wrote:One true thing about chains is that the more you use them the more they stretch and eventualy become irreparable and unuseable. Those look like they'd get you up some ice hills a few times but I wouldn't depend on them to do a couple of hundred miles. Keeping chains tight on the tire and speeds to about 5 mph helps.

Graybrick, Not everything is the owners manual is allways correct. I find that working at a dealership you discover that the guys that made this truck can not do 1/2 the shit or 1/2 the brain as the techs that work on them.Greybrick wrote:Have a look in your owners manual Blink.blink32 wrote:Ahh yes, you should never ever have any traction at all on a tire that is supposed to provide forward momentum or control direction.
