Truck tire chains

[arff]

I have used the chains more in mud towing my toyhauler or pulling others out than on ice.

Amazing how well they work in soft ground.

How well does it work to chain up the front only? For example on a Dodge diesel

Thanks

Chaining up the front is okay if your careful.
Can get costly if your not . Lol
Keep wheels straight and no ripping on it or you will break chit .

I bought a set yesterday. The reason i bought them was that last weekend we were making our way to Bell staging area when we spun out. Trying to back down a large 4 place trailer on ice was not fun. So from now on i will have these chains with me so i dont have that issue again.

Always carry a set of chains for my Duramax summer and winter.
Just never know.

I wonder how these actually work in real life and how they'd hold up to a diesel torque if you could get some that'd fit.

Exactly why I asked. I've seen them on highway tractors. Apparently they're approved by MOT as chains for mountain passes in BC.

Those are not going to be no chains .

Is that just your opinion, or have you tried them?

IMO .
Just not going to happen as a smooth surface is a smooth surface . Might work in a light vehicle on ice but not a heavy truck trying to pull something in heavy snow , ice or mud .
If it was something great and easy all the truckers would have them ? IMO

So.....your response is absolutely useless to me. Looking for a reply from someone who's actually tried them.

Thought this thread / topic was truck chains and not socks ?

Anyone have any info on sizing. Looking to get a set for my F350, but upsized the tires to 35x12.5x20.

When I bought my triggs from Titan the sizing was on the bag the chains came in.

Also the rim size is irrelevant . Only need the width and height.

I have used Canadianchains.ca for quite a few years, always had great service and shipping. The chains have stood up well to abuse in mud, snow and on ice.

So it’s best I don’t chain up the front.

Thanks

If you don't chain at least one front you may have a hard time steering. The caveat on front is you better make damn sure you got fender and inside a arm/tie rod clearance. Also the abs wheel sensor lines are clear. Some chains fit very loose and they no good in front. Front needs to be tight

A set of chains can make a two wheel drive truck do wonders. Especially out here we’re the snow is dry and fluffy. Those tryygs triples are wicked in all environments.

Sorry.... but that is false!
On ice... if you only have one set... you put the chains on the front. Traction on the rear tires means nothing if you can’t steer.
Best is to pack a full set (4 chains)
