I remember thinking someone told me they didn't do so well going out the side of a hill and that is the reason for me sticking with the vee bar steel chains. IDK if there is anything to that because Ive never tried the rubber type . I think it was @lynnmor that mentioned that. I don't have to plow on a side hill, but i'm sure the rubber straps would not offer much side traction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Side to side you are riding on rubber toboggans, I have a short and steep section that I did a 180 on the first time. I learned to do that first by plowing downhill and returning up the other side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the spec chart you posted above that helps tremendously. Nah! You didn't misunderstand. I thought I got them at TerraGrip too. I had to go back and check.

Alrashid2 434 #29 Posted 31 minutes ago You guys are awesome. Really great discussions here!! I think I've ultimately decided that I'll wait until I blow one of these old dry rotted tires... at that point I can decide what tire I want to get, and most likely choose one of the ones discussed here and from there, see how it does compared to my current turf savers - maybe I won't need chains at all? And if I still do, then I'll buy the rubber chains that fit the new tires exactly, since I know regardless I'll be buying new sized tires since my size isnt readily available anymore. Appreciate you all! Great discussion. I'm sure I'll come back to this post in the new year or so and make a decision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
