Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these chains for my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 after we had two, 20 plus inch snows this winter. I did put them on my rear tires after the snow had somewhat melted to prepare for the next onslaught. I will say they were fairly easy to put on the first time and I expect even easier the next time I need them. You will have to buy the chain tighteners also or the chains will flop around alot. They are very snug with the tighteners in place. I only used them with a dry driveway since we received no more significant snows after having put them on my tires. I will say that they appear to be quite damaging to the driveway itself, especially if driving on clear dry pavement. They will probably be less damaging when there is 6 or more inches of snow on the ground to protect the pavement from the chains. The chains were very easy to remove (less than 5 mins per tire) as opposed to about 15-20 mins per tire to put them on. I expect the next time I put them on to take roughly 10 mins per tire including the tighteners. Read my tightener review for more info.
I use my truck mostly for plowing snow on my 300ft driveway (very steep). So damage to the pavement is an important factor and I will only use the chains when absolutely necessary. I expect they will work very well when driving on public roads, where damage to the pavement is not a concern. But after sliding 200ft backwards down my driveway this year I want to be prepared for anything.
