[QUOTE="DVO, post: 223638, member: 25530"] Lutz: MY first thought was of something like what you suggest but I tink it would marr the aluminum rims too much for my liking. I was considering installing chains in the same way as for a truck. I figured on having one length on each side measured to fit so that they hug closely the side of the knobbies on the outside edge. From these at 4-6in intervals (or whatever, I haven't gotten that far yet) there'd be a chain going across the tire to the other side. I checked out my reartire 120/100-18 and there's plenty of room for the chains on the side and at the "mud flap". The important thing is to measure and install with the tire a bit deflated so that you can inflate to the pressure you want and the chains would be tight. That's what I do for the father in laws' ****s and they don't rattle or loosen at all. Also carbide or some sort of snowmobile track studs welded on the chains would be very handy 'cause chains slip nicely on ice. If you weld on studs the chain has to be very tight so it doesn't roll on itself. I think I'll ask for a mig-welder for christmas. Or a job down south. Still tinking about it. DVO [/QUOTE]
