I can't see snow chains helping much at all on ice. There's a set in the shop at work but I doubt they would have fit my tires
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Traffic so bad I couldn't get there. He made it to his aunt's house. Truck did fine. .. made it everywhere easily. So I gave rides to stranded people in my part of hoover for 7 hours. I would guess there were 200 vehicles crashed or unable to navigate the hills. Took 30 folks home at least. I wasn't alone. .. lots of men with 4x4 trucks doing the same.

Most incidences take place at intersections......bump your car/truck into neutral as you approach a stop sign/light. It keeps you from fish-tailing/sliding as much when you stop. What?!?!!? That is the dumbest thing you could do, never put the vehicle in neutral, put it in a lower gear and let the engine help you slow down and be very very soft on the brakes. Sorry but yoteslayer is right. Putting it in a lower gear does more harm than good when trying to stop. I lived in Nebraska for 6 years and am very familier with driving in ice and snow. The reason for neutral is it keeps the wheels from pulling which fights against the brakes when they are being applied. Best thing to do is already be driving in a lower gear then shift to neutral and lightly pump the brakes when coming to a stop.
If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.-Mark Twain

Duchess should be along shortly.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

12-15 psi gets maximum traction on ice, this is what i ran when i was in north dakota, also chains will make a huge difference.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
