I was flipping threw my latest landscape magazine and saw an ad in there for these handy dandy rubber tire chains that wont scratch your driveway or side walk. I thought I'd pass along the info since some members come on here asking about chains. They seem to be reasonable priced.

A step up for those with turf tires, but probably not as good as "real" chains. I have bar treads on the cub that I put the snow blower on and it still goes way better with the chains over them.
Somewher I saw that someone did a similar thing by cutting sections out of a used bias ply tire a couple sizes bigger than what they were putting them around.

Yeah I agree with ya there. I'm sure there's times where metal chains are far better and they even mention that on their website as well. But with these it seems as though they will not scratch up asphault driveways and sidewalks.
