Chain snafu, and new review for tirechains.com

   / Chain snafu, and new review for tirechains.com #21  
I've put the chains that came with my machine on 3 times already and removed them.:mad:
These are new chains from previous owner and have not been d-linked to fit.
Like Jay said, you need a machine shop to get these things to properly fit,
I don't have the time or the patience to install these again, mostly "the patience",
Why can't these things come "ready to throw on" for your specific tires.:confused:
I'll need a grinder, torches or a welder etc, etc to get these darn things to fit on easily.
These chains were "custom" made for 12.5x18 R4's, so they say....:rolleyes:

Simply because tire dimensions vary due to brand, tread style, specific tire model and tire wear. Additionally chain manufacturers minimize chain part numbers by ensuring a single chain part number fits as many tire sixes as possible. Go buy a $19 4" grinder and 2 cutoff wheels and size your chains properly. Could have been done already.

I hear what your saying, but...
I already have all the tools needed , grinders, welder, torches etc....
my point is, that not all of us are capable of doing these types of modifications,
and shouldn't have too.
When you but a set of 4 to 5 hundred dollar chains, you shouldn't have to modify them,
adjust for tire wear, yes, I can understand that. IMHO

New tractors shouldn't break down.
Food shouldn't carry disease.
Politicians shouldn't lie.

Happy Thanksgiving.
