Snows no problem as long as it’s not too deep. It’s the packed ice on a grade that will pucker you up. I’ve already used my corks this year, those chains rock.
Ditto.
I damn near got into a fender bender on a steep and blind curve on a mountain road 3 days ago due to the packed ice, on a road a lot like in the picture. Two pickups had already slid into each other and were completely blocking the road. Luckily I got stopped, but in doing so I slid off the road and had one tire almost over a steep embankment. I finagled my chains on and backed up a half mile to a place I could turn around and took the long way home. Without chains I would have been stuck there until the next day when someone could help yank me out, and get the other two vics out of the roadway.
Chains are an absolute godsend. The next day, I took my wheeler into the area, instead of messing around with a full sized vehicle. It made getting around oncoming vehicles sooooo much easier...
