Title: Tire chain question
Post by: foxpro51 on June 28, 2009, 10:13:50 PM

I am going out to Wyoming this year for three weeks hunting coyote. I want to be prepared for bad weather snow or heavy rain. I need to purchase a set of chain type traction items for my Jeep Liberty. Has anyone used those Snow Claws or Go Claws type of traction items that replaces chains? thanks

I know what your talking about but never used them. If that is what you decide to get and have to use them let us know how they work.

We got the heavy duty chains at Auto Zone for $70 a pair and they worked awesome in the ice/snow this year. Got tired of getting stuck up on the mountain at camp.

I would stay away from the cables if you can, the chains definitely work a lot better.
I never heard of the types your talking about

I know woody has a set of cables hopefully he can chime in here.  I know you have to watch chains on some vehicles because there is not enough clearance between the wheel and the tire.  the liberty should be plenty.  I would take the chains over cables though.  maybe a set of automatic chains for on the liberty earl that would be slick.
