If you are going real chain chains (not cable chains), make sure the side links which form the T between the cross links and the long chains (what are those links called?) are made of hefty gauge o the material. I spent one night repair a set of chains from Sears that kept breaking as my dad tried to get his car up the hill in front of his house in Seattle during that last storm.... Take chains off, rebend and pinch link that opened, put chains back on, watch dad break them after making it another 10 feet or so, watch dad roll down the hill, take them off, rebend and pinch link, yell at dad, put chains on, watch dad.... dave
