Title: Tire socks instead of chains
Post by: freds on January 29, 2025, 09:20:55 AM

In a previous post I mentioned Auto Chains that are a bit expensive. Turns out chains for our buses are not exactly cheap either!!!

Anyway I have a trip next week where I am likely to encounter snow and I ordered tire socks instead.

The Cassey LeDelle heavy rescue YouTube towing channel has a post on tire socks that people might find interesting.

I find the Cassey LeDelle heavy rescue YouTube towing channel to be highly entertaining.

Anyway his video expaining tire socks is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHlI9vYboo8&t=429s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHlI9vYboo8&t=429s)

Enjoy

Personally, I think adding tracks to a bus is a bit radical, but whatever floats your boat.   ;D
