Chains for driving on snow and ice

Outer dual chains are fine. Not like you're going off roading with it. When I worked for Verizon all we had was outer chains and our trucks did go off road, Remember when the state orders you off the road cause the snow is too deep....Verizon trucks are still out there. Never ever ran into a situation where the chained tire transferred weight to the inside dual and then spun????? Get your self a large block of wood with a wedge. Put it under the inside dual so you can drive up on it and the outside will be off the ground making it easier to put your chains on......Do your self another favor and try and find some heavy tie wraps. They have them 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide and bout 3 foot long or some you can make whatever length you need. Use them with the rubber band tensioners. With rubber tensioners the chains will still slap. If you use heavy tie wraps and pull them tight they won't slap around. Put your chains on and tighten everything up and then drive for a block or two and then get out and tighten them again. Yes being a Verizon lineman/splicer I am very experienced in chains unfortunately lol lol...But remember now and then a cross link will break and will slap your fender. When that happens the can do some serious damage,,,
