| Have a lawn and garden tractor, used, that I just bought for the snow plow purpose. Got the wheel weights on, and the tire chains. What is the best method for the chain tight-in things! LOL The rubber loop ones with the weights don't seem like they will work? any ideas?? |

| We take iner tubes and cut them in small strips as rubber bands and use the hooks from the cross pieces off the tire chains. |

| I never use those rubber chain tighteners, just get the chains as tight as you can when installed the first time and after you run them for awhile retighten them again. |

What I do is let a little air outta the tires, put the chains on, then air up the tires. Tires will be tight and not come loose. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future.

I do the same and I also got the 5 pointed spring tighteners from tirechains.com, or whatever that sites name is! The only problem I have is the cross chains wearing out. But that is only every 8 - 10 years, so I just live with it! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |
