Got a note from a guy up in the hills. Seems he did something that is probably happening in this group. He put a different size tire on his truck and found out his chains donΉt fit those tires. If you have changed to a different tire size you may want to read the label on your chain pack if you still have it. Still got mine and checked it after I got that note. jimt On 12/24/04 7:08 AM, "John Rodgers" <inua@CHARTER.NET> wrote: > In October you take'em to the tire shop and have steel studs installed, > then go to the local Sears or Flaps and buy new tire chains........and > Oh, yes, get a new tow strap. > > Funny though, I wound up with a big pile of tire chains that never got > used.
