{"replyTo":"","text":"It depends on conditions and how many chains needed. It took me 4hrs once due to not enough traction to even be able to drive onto chains, hands being cold I couldn’t even tighten the chains, chains tangled. But lessons learned that night ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"For one never to end up in that kind of situation to begin with I failed to check the weather as it usually doesn’t get so bad that time of year. Also Untangle chains prior to having to use them, also do a dry run in the warmer weather as a refresher before you’re on the side of the road freezing your balls off with cars and trucks alike all around you sliding in the chain pullout. Also learned when going down try and ride the rumble strip to keep from loosing traction when it’s really bad ","replyToPid":0}
