Tire Chain Alternative

I just talked to a customer at a local school district and they have used them in Colorado and have tried them briefly here in Washington with their school buses. he said they work fantastically. they have enough of them now for 6 of their buses here in my area. they are now listed as approved to use in California and Washington as well as Colorado so far. its got me thinking about it. I have a set of chains but it might be nice to have them as an alternative when I need them. at 100 bucks that's not too bad.

Thought I found another alternative to chains but they don't seem to be approved in Washington state. Oh well

Tire chain alternative

I think they look like they would work. But how long will they last? Cable chains dont last though. I might just try a pair!!!!

Plus if our politicians approved them they must be good wright!!! ;)

That looks very interesting. I'd like to hear from someone who has tried them.

I am dubious of any winter traction device for a 10,000 pound vehicle that is machine washable. What's it made of, Kevlar?

Although I have little doubt that it works as shown, I question durability of this product. Also they do not want you to spin your tires while using it - Sometimes that is the only way to get moving...

Sorry, but here in Tucson, we don't have much need for chains. One time though, there was enough snow that I could actually make a snowball (okay, a snow marble).... :B
