[QUOTE="Nickie.01, post: 1712528, member: 79744"] Practice putting your chains on, and taking them off before you leave town. Adjust them for your tires. Don't run them too tight! Radial tires flex more in the sidewall and over tightening wrecks tires and chains. As someone else said run them a couple hundred feet and adjust. The cams on the inside and outside have to be adjusted to keep the chain running centered on the tire. Always link the ends to the side rails, if wire or bungee cords fail you have a lot of damage before you can stop. If you can get someone with experience to show you how to put them on your truck and adjust them you will learn more than I can type. Lots of people have shared their experience here, and would help if you live close. [/QUOTE]
