[QUOTE="35years, post: 1918617, member: 60822"] [IMG]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wYYwQeG3L.jpg[/IMG] [ATTACH=full]59501[/ATTACH] [IMG]http://www.tirechainsrus.com/media/1319.jpg[/IMG] We have extreme conditions where I drive. UPS outfits us with portable tow trucks (pictured above), Heavy duty V-bar tire chains with extra grip spikes and Cherry stone grit (way more effective than sand). The portable tow trucks are a really quick and easy solution for traction, and they store easily on the ledge above shelf 3 flat against the wall. They will get you out of a slick situation quick. And your hands don't freeze. I have 4. On pure ice the cherry grit is great. Made from Quartzite, the grit is granite-hard, angular, sharp and won't dissolve, become muddy, stain, or pollute. The tire chains are quite a bit more heavy duty than the ones Sober sprang for himself. Use two on the slipping tire rather than one each on two tires. Or get 4 from the mechanics for 2 on each side. Division managers elsewhere should spring for all of these since accidents and tows are so much more expensive. Ask and you shall receive! [/QUOTE]
