Tire chains recommendation!?
With winter quickly approaching here, and hunting season in full swing.. I'm starting to think about thinks that I need to have in my truck at all times... One thing I don't have that I will be getting this week is a full set of chains for it. I run duratracs. Any recommendations on a good set of chains and where to pick them up!?
Cheers.
Re: Tire chains recommendation!?
I get mine at Midway Tire, Tirecraft on 72nd Ave. in Surrey and I use heavy V chains not the wire cable type.
Re: Tire chains recommendation!?
Like campking said get heavy duty v bar chains, don’t waste your money on the cable style chains, kal tire also sells them.
Re: Tire chains recommendation!?
Wesco, in Langely 9600 block, of 199a st.
Lots of different styles to choose from.
Re: Tire chains recommendation!?
Bought several sets at Loewen Forestry Eguipment off Dalhousie in Kamloops. Always went with v-bar, but I think they sell Tryggs too.
Re: Tire chains recommendation!?
Trygg is one of the best chain manufactures. And like others have said, avoid cable chains, completely useless for a pick up.

I have some v-bar chains I ran on my 245/75 R16 Duratracs. I don't need them anymore since I now have 285's.
I could sell you them for $200 for 4 of them if they fit (retail for like $250 for 2)

I really appreciate the offer. I'm running 265/75/R18 on my Colorado though.

Thanks for the imput everyone. Chains are one thing I won't skimp on.
Just got a jackall and 100ft of tow strap as well.
