Snow Snow yesterday

I found chains for the front for 75.00 vs 475.00 for the back . Was thinking for now buying front chains just worried it mitt Screw up the front end

Others will give the opposite opinion but I think you will be OK with front only chains. Just don't spin the heck out of the wheels which is how you should drive on snow/ice anyway. Also, 2 link ladders would be better than 4 link ladders for more consistent traction and less slippage. They will also ride smoother.

Front only chains won't entirely eliminate the 360 spin possibility on a downhill though. It may even make it worse given that the front end would be grabbing more with the rear end more likely to spin out.

Gee you guys have good prices in chains. Here in canada I bought a set from a tractor dealership for 24 inche r4 tires. They here high end trygg ice chains and they were amazing but they were around $1500 and that was a few years ago.

Well those prices are from 14 years ago, so I would hope they're cheaper lol.

The thread suggestion feature really works to get old threads bumped lol.
