Winter is on it's way!
This is from the state of Oregon Department of Transportation.
Many countries do not know about tire chains. Installing chains correctly is up there with configuring the timer on your VHS or DVD player. Their suggestion to practice at least once before the snow season really sets in. We would also suggest keep a piece of cardboard in the trunk of your car, you can put it on the ground so you do not have to kneel on the snow in your good clothes. Great too to have a good quality flashlight, some come with a stand, so if you need to put your chains on at night, you will have plenty of light. We would suggest you make some notes on the step by step procedure, make them with a marker pen, nice and big and clear. Mount it on cardboard and seal it with plastic, so you can put it on the snow, it will be readable and waterproof. Then you can just follow instructions. The small printed instructions that come with your chains can be very hard to read, especially in poor light, with snow coming down, and if you are stuck by the side of the road. Good luck!
