Re: (ET) chain



I keep seeing all these complicated ways of putting chains on!  Granted, my tires are old and hard, and I have hilly terrain to mow so I leave mine on all year, but, IIRC, when I put mine on a few years ago:

               lay them out straight on the ground

               drive onto them so the tires are in the middle of the chains

               wrap them around and fasten them up!

Is there something I was missing and should have made it harder?

I think that's basically how one puts chains on cars, although I don't have to do that, either.

Remove wheel.
Deflate tire.
Install chains snugly.
Re-inflate tire.
Install wheel.
