Time to buy them tire chains y'all 😁 (1 Viewer)

Since I was unprepared for this snow dump, I called up NAPA to see if they had ladder tire chains for the rear tires. Guess what? They're all sold out as of a week ago .

Anyway, the guy on the phone said go to Peerless tire chains website, then find out which model you want. After that go do a local search and see if you get lucky. I got lucky at Walmart, of all places! So I went ahead and picked up a set yesterday for less than $100. These are the real deal.

Since they only had one left, I did the curbside pickup. But, I just went into the store, and grabbed them myself since they were crazy busy with the after work crowd. The young lady had a hard time carrying this box out to me

Don't forget to buy rubber tensioners, and I included a picture of the kind I like to use. They have different colors for different size tires on eBay. This set is actually made for 35-in tires so I will need to order the correct set for 32-in tires.

Taking Ali's suggestion, I bought two pair of those spider tire chain tensioners. Mine are different than his. I like how mine fold back on the ring. I didn't know which size to get, so I bought one pair of each. I'm currently running 32" tires, but plan on going back to 33" at some point. I bought them at Tirechains.com. No tax, free shipping (I added an item to get me over their $40).

Truck SUV, 32" tall tire and smaller. $19.27
Truck 33" and larger. $19.99

good going Pappy. The company that makes the bungee tensioners that I showed on the 1st post uses rim diameter and not the tire diameter, which I thought was interesting.

My luck with those. First and second year they are great, third year you start noticing cracks and the fourth year they snap when you try to stretch them. I just use rubber tarp straps anymore.
