Tire Chains

[Huntnnw]

When do you think is a reasonable time to start carrying them in the truck? Once October hits?

Anytime starting in september and on. I had 4 chains on my truck the day after ID rifle elk opened was not a fun week in those mountains

I chain all 4 wheels most of the time I like the cam locks I run the heavy vbars on the rear and a lighter twist link on the front....I just dont have the clearance on the front for the heavy vbars.. And I have chained my camper up coming down the hill..... The cart cant lead the horse.

Whatever you do, be sure to put them on prior to getting stuck. If you think you might need them, do yourself a favor and put them on. They suck to put on once you are already stuck. I know from multiple experiences... slow learner I guess.

If you take your truck on dirt roads that turn to Gumbo in the rain, then take them every time.

Slick mud can be more dangerous than snow and you'll need them on all 4 at times.

The correct Idaho answer would be from september to july

Be sure that your vehicle is capable of putting them on the front. I know a lot of newer vehicles they don't recommend it. It will tear your brake line off, had it happen to me once.
