For what it's worth, MY opinion, nor YOUR opinion, NO ONES opinion really matters EXCEPT for the opinion of the officer who has you pulled over along the highway. After him/her, the JUDGE has a say.
In Kentucky, the written law is vague in some regads. As I read it, any rolling load where the cargo is over 10,000 lbs requires grade 70 chains.

You MIGHT be able to fight a ticket in court. Pay a lawyer, tae a day off work, bone up on all the applicable laws, and try to fight it....
OR
Talk with the "locals" and get THEIR interpretation of the law and THEIR take on how they planon enforcing said laws, and comply with that.
Which would you see as the least complicated?
Doubtful a printout of this thread will be admissable in court. Opinions expressed here are just that....opinions. Personally, I'd rather hear the opinion of the man with the badge.
Call State police or who ever the local commercial vehicle regulators are in your area. Evn if you aren't a commercial vehicle, they'll have the "skinny" on the subject as it pertains to your immediate area.
