[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1111778, member: 14668"] If they only fly off, you are lucky. When I failed to install [I]mine[/I] correctly....they only came [I]part way [/I]off and instead of flying away they wrapped themselves around the axle between the rear duallys of the P-600 I was driving. It was 5 degrees above zero, which was the all time record cold temperature for my area and the coldest weather I have ever personally experienced. It was night time, on a back country road. It was so cold that the chains immediately froze into a rusty, muddy, solid mass of steel and ice that was wedged tightly in between the tires. I had to crawl underneath the truck with frozen tears and frozen snot running down my face and a flashlight in my mouth to try and untangle that godawful mess. It was without a doubt the most frustrating and physically miserable experience of my 26 year career at UPS, and so now I take the time to carefully and properly install my chains because I dont [B]EVER[/B] want to go through [I]that[/I] sh&t again.
