In Reply to: OT - Auto Tire Cables posted by M-MAN on December 14, 2010 at 21:35:23:
We had them on every fire truck at one time, now we have tossed them.
We went to the regular tire chains with the cam latches. We however do not try to drive the 35 as mentioned.
The cables were ok, but when breaking, you have to let it roll a little as you break, otherwise the cables are not in contact with the ice.
I do not recall them ever being a side slid problem, as they do cut into the ice somewhat.
In any case, they are well worth the cost compared to nothing at all.
Make yourself a small board with blocks added to make a place for the cross bars to drop into, lay the chain into the slots, then drive up on the 2 high block. You will hug yourself for doing that, even with regular chains.
I'm poor at explaining things, but it will look like a ladder with the rungs sunk dowmn for the tire chais to lay in where the ladder rungs would be. The block of wood only needs to be 18 inches long for a large truck, and about a 6 inch wide board.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
