Chain em all, don't drive on clear pavement if you can possibly avoid it.
I have been running mine with 15 psi in the tires so far, and get around ok
on the ice and snow.
My experience with chains has always been to wait to long to put em on, and
then to ear em up on clear pavement.
When you are driving keep a low gear and high RPM, if your engine is working
too hard it will tend to "drag" the drive system and cause you to slide,
(this concept is very important when coming into a turn, DOWN SHIFT).
If you are running 50 psi on snow and ice you have a very large sled.
BTW, can anyone give us an idea how long you can get away with running at
HWY speed with 15 psi, and what damage will it do.

Subject: [MVlist] 9:00-20 tire chains
Hey Listers- Please accept my apologies if you're tired of seeing
this post. Part of me doesn't have a clue, the other part is just
very confused. I recently got some new 9:00-20 tire chains. These
are the single tire type. They are bagged in pairs, so if you wanted
to put a chain on each tire of a 2 1/2 Ton, you would need 5 pairs.
I think (?) most people put them on just the outside tire of the back
duals. These are something I have never had before and probably
win't have again. The last time it snowed here was in 1993 and these
things aren't in that much demand for mud. Price is $75.00 per pair
plus shipping from L.A. (Lower Alabama). Thanks, Ted
