Tire chains for snow

[Fish whisperer]

Looking at picking up a set up chains for my 2012 Dodge Ram 2500. It has 265/70/R70 tires and I'm looking for suggestions on what and where to buy them. Bought a permanent fish house and they will mostly be used pulling the house around on the lake(if we get lots of snow and IF we have enough ice!). Price max would be $100-$150. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Farm and Home Supply (if you are in/near Bismarck) had a very good selection of tire chains when I was in the hunt for 'em many years ago. Not sure anymore however. 1406 E main Street 701.258.3436

I bought a set from runnings. Haven't used them yet, but they were right around $100

You will want to get the chains with ice cleats. Just plain tire chains on ice won't work very well.

V-Bar. Then after you get them, put them on once where it's easy (driveway) so you know how before you're stuck.

Testing them in the driveway is a good idea, but don't wait to put them on until your stuck. Putting them on before you're stuck makes things much easier.

No doubt, but, some things gotta be learned.

Any chains are head and shoulders above no chains. The regular and v-bar chains work equally as well in snow, but the v-bar work better on ice. I have regular chains and my pickups have done some unbelievable things with them on vs not having them. Definitely put them on at least once before you get stuck.
