It's been 30 years since I last owned a set of chains, but I'm thinking to try some of the cable type I see in use these days. I'm looking for input on the pros and cons. I will be using them on a 2WD half ton Chevy.

I've been using them for years. Go to tire chains dot c o m They've got good prices and a lot of good info. Sorry for the screwy spelling, but this website keeps deleting any messages with any hint of a U R L stuck in.

Don't bother with the cable type. They are intended to get you out of one tight spot, not for extended use.

I always use regular chains made for light truck use. I had a set of cables but they didn't grip as well and didn't last very long. The good thing about regular chains is if you break one out on the road or back in the boonies you can get in with a repair link and a pair of Vise-Grips� or some baling wire will work if you take enough wraps and put a good twist on the ends.
