Ever Use Automatic Tire Chains? Wow!

This post will probably get moved to a different forum but I wanted to share with TC friends first. I had never heard nor seen these until today - but what an interesting idea! Automatic Tire Chains And yes, they make models specific to heavy duty (3/4 and 1 ton) trucks.

I don't do enough winter driving to justify them; but wouldn't it be great to flip a switch while driving and instantly have chains working for you, without having to leave the cab? You need an on-board air system to make it work.

    I deal with on spot all the time for my school bus customers. they have been around for a long time and work well. I have not looked into making them work on a pick up truck application though and have no feedback on that.

    Maybe not in Ojai, CA but in a lot of the states that get snow, look under most of the school buses, abulances, fire trucks, etc and you'll see them hanging under the rear axle.
