Get some Bighorns - you won't need the chains... :-)

Seriously though, on that last little snow event a week ago I was plowing uphill on a driveway that I cannot climb in my 4WD pickup if there is snow on it. Those things are amazing!

Thanks guys :)

I don't have the funds to drop on all new tires right now... either way I think I still prefer chains to use when plowing my driveway.

I`ll let you know what I get and how they compare to non-chained tires :)

As it is now all the snow is melting away in rain and near 50* weather coming up :x next big storm I`ll be ready though :)
