Chain up question
More winter driving questions :) If you are in 4x4 and still want to use a pair of chains for better control, where do you put them on a dually? The Washington state winter driving site is no help...

I have been using this type of chain in Alaska now for about 5 years. I will never go back to cables or plain old chains again!
Cam style chains
Both my F350 and my Excursion I run a 235x85x16 studded mud and snow tire on here in Alaska. There have been several times I have had to chain up, and since I have pre-fit these chains, it takes me less that 10 minutes to install them. My F350, I also plow with, not commercially, but friends and family, and many times, chains have been the only way to keep going with the Ice and Snow. The ones I bought also have the "V" bar Ice grips.
With these Cam style chains, once you have them cinched up tight, I have been able to get up to 35 to 40 mph for short periods as road conditions allow. They are that good. I would recommed then to anyone that needs a good heavy duty chain for just their truck or with a truck and camper!

x2 on these. I have a set of these for our Cherokee and both pickups. I too have driven many miles with plenty of 30-40mph and spun through deep snow on forest roads with these and never a failure.
With the cams tight they're pretty much part of the tire.
