Truck Tire Chains

ndbwhunter · Nov 22, 2017

Is there anyone in the Bismarck/Mandan area that stocks a decent selection of truck/suv tire chains? I've got a set that I purchased through Orielly Auto a few years ago, but I'd like to get a decent set of V-Bar chains for the rear. I'll need them this weekend for a last minute trip back to MT, so I need to source them locally if possible.

I know NAPA does in Williston, maybe they have something in the bismarck NAPA

Mac's Hardware, NAPA, Home of Economy, any of the tire stores? Bought a pair a long time ago for the S-10 two wheel drive I had, but can't remember where I got them. Man, that thing would go thru snow with those chains on. :;:rockit

Yeah, but I think they mostly carry the one size fits all kind of chains. I'll have to stop and check though.

Farm and Home on main St. usually has chains.

can you bungee cord a bunch of yak trax onto the tires?

I would take them, but it doesn't look like they will fit. I need them to fit 285/65/18.

On south Washington in Bismarck in the old WalMart building.

I called around to quite a few places this morning and nobody had what I was looking for. Most of them just carry the standard "one size fits most" chains that use bungee straps to keep everything tight. I was able to find a place in Billings that carries a wide variety of chains in a number of styles.

I bought mine at a Les Schwab Tire place in Helena a few years ago. I think those places are fairly common in Mont.

Better get yourself a bigger better burger while you're at it. I haven't had one of those in 15 years.

I installed several sets on school busses destined for Montana and Wyoming. They work okay if deployed before spinning. Once already spinning, they just deflect back instead of going between the tire and road.
Some of the busses had sanders that would drop sand in front of the drive tires, but I never had the chance to use one to see how it worked.

Lots of buses in Montana had the type above chains on when we lived there.
