Buying Chains Online

[RickB]

I was planning to also get the recommended spring chain tensioners (rear - bungee on the front, I think) from them at the same time. Do you think this will account for the stock looseness?

Speaking of tensioners, anybody know if the little $11 load binder that they sell for installing them is a good idea, or can I just use my big load binders or some other tool to do the job?

In general, chain tensioners do not suitably replace the effort to fit a tire chain to a tire. In all but a few instances, a properly sized and installed tire chain requires no 'crutches' to keep them tight and on the tire. Tensioners are a gimmick and tool for the uninformed.
