Default tire chains

hey guys I was just thinking of putting tire chains on my suzuki for the winter because i got some grass racing tires on the back that don't have too much grip in snow/mud I was wondering if anyone runs tire chains?

i kno you can buy them precut for the stock tire size for most quads from rockymountain atv/mc, but i just made my own, i took some made for a bobcat and just used bolt cutters and the welder to make them smaller, also lawn tractor chains might fit on ur tires so if you know someone who might have a set than try them out.

thats www.rockymountainatv.com Tyrone.


about 45 bucks for the front and another 35 for the read, all you do is buy it by what quads you have and the magnum should be there.

you can also go to your local lawn mower dealer and get chains for a mower, Just tell them what size tire you are running and they should be able to hook you up.

How thick are you talking? like logging chain thick?

The mower chains we have have twisted links going across the tread and each link has a v shaped piece of metal welded to it for ultimate bite. They are not huge but they will push our heavy mower up any grassy hill as long as you have enough ***** to try [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
