Have to make a trip to the far north and ordered a set of tire chains for the Suburban - first set I've had in 20 years.
These are standard tire chains, but they have some slack adjusters in the sides like a half-moon cam. Turning it 180 degrees with a L shaped lever included with the chains takes up a lot of slack. Problem is, they don't look to me like they would stay, even with using some rubber straps to take up additional slack. Here is a link to a picture showing what I am talking about:

Has anyone used this things? Do they work? I'm going to take some heavy wire to lock them in place in case I have to use the chains.
