I agree that they don't need to be tight. I put chains on my tractor and used rubber straps to tighten them. All this did was make the chains get sucked in between the tire lugs. I took the straps off and got them as tight as was easily possible with the standard latch that's on them. They do flop around but they don't get sucked in between the lugs and are better at self cleaning. I used a zip tie on the loose chain after getting them tightened as much as I could. I have Duo-grip tractor chains that are designed for ag tires. It would make sense that truck chains need to be tighter but they don't have deep lugs like a tractor. Dave
