BX25 Tire Chains

[check]

I would not recommend tire chains on the front tires. The question about using chains on the front tires has been debated before on this site. Some folks have tried it and gotten away with out having any problems, but some have tried and seriously damaged their front end drive. The front end mechanical assembly is not as beefy as the rear, and extra traction on the front (tire chains) could result in extra stress, in some situations, that the could cause serious front wheel drive damage. For the last 8 years, I have run chains on just the rear tires of my B7800 (with rear mount snow blower) and will usually only engage 4 wheel drive on hilly sections on my icy driveway. Good Luck

I am surprised to hear about front chains damaging the front wheel assembly. Do you know of a thread where this is discussed?

I have a BX25 with industrial tires. My driveway is a sheet of ice. I want to get tire chains. I have a few questions: should I get both front and rear or just rear, 2 link or 4, regular or v-bar, where is a good place to buy them? thank you

You might want to get 2 link chains
