I got chains last year for my 37's from Les Schwab for about 200 a set... ladder style aka big rig... I did all 4 tires but have yet to use them. But then again i'm a guy who would rather have then have not.

. Do want to find another set of those for my 35's, but by then I may be on 37's 
Those were/are great chains.

I bought my 80 so that I did not have to put on chains. That said, CHP requires that you have chains in the vehicle and sometimes on the vehicle, even with 4WD. California (the Nanny-State) falls apart with the smallest amount of snow on the ground; truly as if the sky was falling.

It's not just Cali- Wyoming and other mountain states doo it to. I"m o.k. with that - if it was just a matter of you falling off the road and killing yourself I would be fine with that - since you might hit me on your way, I'm ok with them requiring it. - Political rant off.

This has to be a first - I'm used to tech threads disentigrating into chat, not chat threads disentigrating into tech!
I chain up all four almost every week end, run a trigg studded,cam locks. the only way to fly, expensive though, cost me about 300 per set.
I have a set of the diamond pattern style chains instead of the horizontal style. The horizontal style chain tends to flop around more (the horizontal sections) if not tight on the tire, whereas the diamond pattern remains taunt a bit better.

the diamond ones seem to be hard to find for a 37" tire

To those that think they don't need chains because they bought an 80 series, try driving across wyoming on 2" of ice...........the whole way. this is easy and stress free with chains.
Not to mention when the deep stuff stops your locked 80 with 37's, your locked 80 with 37's and chains will keep going and going and going. Plus those steep icy decents have a little less pucker factor.
I bought the biggest chains I could get at walmart (fit 285//75/16) for $50 a pair and spent about $30 on some extra chain and quicklinks at Home Depot for a total of $130. I have abused this set up to no end, spinning on rocks, mud, snow, pavement and it has always worked well, plus it is a custom fit, so they are TIGHT, no slapping or rubbing ect at 30mph.
