Close your eyes and it’s like Vince Vaughn is teaching you how to chain tires.
Funny, you are like the 10th person to say that!
Lmmmaaoo
I've watched many vids on this subject. Yours is the fastest and simplest explanation. Excellent!
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
Thanks for the video. I live in a hot climate, I still get excited when I see snow. We are in Canada on holidays at the moment. It’s almost summer. Clearly God was showing off when he made Canada, but my lady and I were scratching our heads trying to work out how people live in winter here. ( I guess you’re not as excited about snow as I am )
Thanks again
Ha Ha! Thank you for watching.
Right when you said you do the cams by hand I was going to say you need a tool. That's why that rectangle hole is in the cam
Yep, you are correct.
Really appreciated how you showed the cam mechanism closely. That's always been confusing to me.
Thanks for watching. Probably the most confusing part of the operation.
@@drivetheglobe Would you please help me to understanding why some chains come with "no-cam" options? What are the pros and cons?
@@rtong12 to be honest I am not so sure. I think the cam option allows you to get the chain slightly tighter and you are able to drive a little faster.
Thank you
Thanks for watching.
All good, except if you roll fwd until the hanging loops are at 1 o'clock, there will be no need to lay down in the crap to reach around and fasten that inner hook. The sweet little rig has plenty of fender well to reach in to. Also, I recommend that people hook the tightest loop on the inner rail, then work all crossovers up the tire and towards the cam, then hook the tightest loop on the outer rail. The two will not be the same, with the tighter rail being the inner. Then install the rubber snubbers, which will put a constant outer tension on the whole assembly that will fling the chain away from the vehicle if it breaks. That's how you want it. Drive a mile, then pull over and check for good tension. Properly installed chains will NOT jingle. They will make a solid, clicking sound, or even a sound like the gun on an A-10 or like a large metal zipper on a tent. Sleigh bells are bad unless you are in a sleigh.
Good points. Thank you for those tips.
@@drivetheglobe You're welcome. 30 years daily driving a semi over snowy passes every winter has taught me a certain metod for doing it right quickly.
Great video! Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you for watching.
Thanks bud very helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you!
Think you need to do some more testing. If only you had closer dirt roads ; )
I agree. Going to be using the a lot in February up in Maine. Thanks for watching.
What length bungee do you use?
I believe for those tires a 2 footer
do you reccomend using the cleated V-bar chains? and any particular brand?
Depends on the application. Regular not cleated ones are good for snow and keeping on board for altitude passes and such. V bar is great for mud but brutal if any pavement is involved. Lots of choices on tirechain.com
On a 2 wheel drive truck is it necessary to put on all four tires?
No, 2 wheels would be sufficient. Thanks for watching.
Nice dry clean garage, tires and chains, what about if you need to put chains on during a trip and you are already driving in snow or mud, say chain law in Colorado. Might try a video outside in several inches of snow because having a nice garage is not always where you start your day. if already in snow tires are not as warm where they hug the tire more, crawling around the tire in snow in not fun and snow makes everything colder, mud makes everything even worse. just saying
Very true, and great points. Having done it in the woods in snow and ice many times it sucks! And your fingers pay for it. Thanks for watching.
Brings back memories of Dad sending us kids out to put chains on.

Thanks for watching.
You really need to fact check! Because, indeed, snow chains happen to be illegal in some states! Yes! Some states even outlaw studded snow tires!! "DOUBT ME?" Check Minnesota laws! Even North Dakota!
Might recheck your facts. All 50 states have provisions for chain use. nhhservices.com/chain-laws-by-state/ updated dec 2022
