I too got my chains from Tirechain.com... and I think that anyone with deeply lugged tires would love the type I wound up with: Euro net chains, photo attached so you can see what I am trying to describe. I am told that this type of chain is very smooth riding, lasts a long time, and gives excellant traction- lots of fire trucks have them. I think this is all true, but I don't have any experience with other types. (I took the pic. before shortening the too-long chains, so don't jump on me for a messy installation). A friend who has experience told me to jack up the tractor's rear end, and use bungees to hold the chain ends in place while I installed them, and I found that worked like a charm! I think next fall I should be able to install the chains in about 15 min. each, once I get everything ready. Just straightening out the links takes longer than actually installing them.
