Re: Tire Chains for Toyota
Never used chains on my pickup but drove gravel truck for many years and I agree that no bungee cords should be needed but chains do stretch and if you don't have chain pliers or know how to use them you best carry some bungee cords until you can get them resized. Loose chains or extra long tail ends will tear brake lines up in the blink of and eye.
Also keep your speed down as they will chew your tires up in a hurry if your racing up and down the road. We kept speeds to less than 40 kph when chained up.
If you find yourself spun out and your stopped, not sliding, on a hill lay the chains on your tire and roll backwards onto them, then hook them up.
Also drive a short distance and get out and check the tightness of them, you may find you'll need tighten them up.
