[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]It all depends what you plan on doing with them. Cable "chains" are good on icy, paved roads and are really made for radial tires but nothing grabs in any condition like good old chains. When you need the best traction possible go for real chains.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We used to deer hunt late season and always had to chain up all four tires on an old 4WD International Pick Up. We were able to go anywhere and had to pull out a lot of 4WDs when the frozen mud and ice was too slick for just tires.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Also don't forget the chain tensioners, usually a rubber ring with metal hooks on them. Buy a couple more than you need to store along side your chains. you may break one or lose the metal hooks and need to pluck some from your extras.[/size][/black][/font]
