My son taught me to ditch the tightening rubbers and use five trampoline springs per wheel. Have to put them on with a good pair of pliers or vice grips but once on they keep the chains tight and dont break.

Billcat left some good information about using tire chains on atvs in the snow. Wondering which chain pattern provides the most traction? The diamond pattern or acrossed the tread face link style?

I used to run the regular across the tread chains but they had a little U shaped pieces of metal , about 4 per cross chain, welded on them that bike was almost impossible to get stuck and stop and if it did it always would back out.

New for 2020. The rubber tighteners will rot out over a summer, so buy however many new ones you use every fall, plus some extras, before you might need them. Also, they all come with 5 hooks, an inconvient number to get them balanced on the wheel. Take the hooks off the old tighteners and add one to each bungie for a total of six. Makes it easy to go across the diameter to get the tightener evenly spaced on the chain. I like to use two tighteners on each wheel of the 4-wheeler, it's easy to hook one on the brush and break it, leaving one to do the job, without a stop. Carry extras.
