tire chains

[cowtownjimmy]

hey guys,

justhad a question about tire chains,

first off, can our trucks use tire chains? I don't have a manual with my truck so I don't know if it's recommended.

also if it can I assume I have to put it on all 4s because of the 4x4 right

in dec I'm driving from calgary to vancouver and I know some of the mountain passes are pretty bad in the winter. I have 95% tread left on my goodyear wranglers, and can't really afford winter tires so I was thinking of buying chains just in case. is this a good idea? or should I be scrounging up money to buy winters? I'm not sure how these truck perform in slick conditions


btw my truck is a 98 jimmy sls 4x4


Thanks for any advice you can give me

To be quite honest you'll probably be more than fine with 4x4 and just regular tires... I wouldn't recommend going off-roading of course; but just regular driving I'd suspect you to be better off than most. If you are somewhat worried; inspect the motor, transmission, driveshaft & differential, as well as the transfer case.

If you really convinced; just pick up some tire chains; relatively inexpensive and easy to put on/take off. And they'll help ya if you really need it.

you can put chains on anything with wheels.. at my shop we have tire chains for our car pusher.. LOL

but like said you will be fine with 4x4
