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.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
