PRodacy...we have to be responsible for what we post. What you or I and or someone else with the experience can run with as normal most reading these posts take as gospel and run with it. Someone out there with no experience is usually in for a jolt when confronted with chain up requirements for the first time. It's the same for any info given on a forum platform. As for long term use goes I know of no chains available that are intended or designed for that purpose...they are destined to fail without constant checking and adjusting.
