Yeah I can see that considering the snow/ice is still on the ground. Though some fresh snow will help regain traction in slick spots for a while, but that also means new drifts and more stuck people

Okay I'm here! My mother in law works at c and c tile in tulsa and they are afraid the roof is going to collapse on the building. The roof is sagging and support beams are bending.....

Rubi has been a monster in the snow...when I was out with okjt tuesday we were busting huge snow drifts out in deer creek no problems. I feel my "cookie cutter" tires did much better in the snow than the guys with wider tires. On guy got his passenger front in a rut that dragged him in in to the ditch and he spun out...twice

Uh oh... That's not good. All this snow and ice can't be good for the roof.

Stock tires have their advantage - and disadvantage .

Yeah, I googled and found the site . The one that looked like the pic you'd posted up said a safe working load of around 2,400lbs? Is yours the G43 5/16" chain?
