Haha totaly agreed, interesting though that every OEM in North America and most in Europe recommend running chains on the back wheels only. Probably an OEM thing though...or could this conspiracy also involve real truck drivers.Captain caveman wrote: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.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?
