This is for Washington state:By law do you actually need chains with 3peak Ice/Snow tires and 4WD?
And then there is this:Depends on the area but I will say out on the trails the 3 peaks snow tires don’t cut it on the ice with these heavy trucks.

So the 250 can squeak by?And then there is this:
(2) Vehicles or combinations of vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
When traffic control signs marked "chains required" are posted by the department of transportation it will be unlawful for any vehicle or combination of vehicles to enter the controlled area without having mounted on its tires, tire chains as follows: Provided, That highway maintenance vehicles operated by the department of transportation for the purpose of snow removal and its ancillary functions are exempt from the following requirements:
Why, clearance issue?The manual says no chains on Tremor.

Exactly. No more than 20 MPH in my opinion. If you're wanting to go faster than that, you're either an idiot or the situation doesn't call for chains. Maybe both.Properly fitted chains won't be an issue. You also aren't supposed to run them doing 60mph. A lot of people miss on the first and completely ignore the second.
Yes when chain law is in effect. Rightfully so too, I70 gets bad and theres way too many idiots that don’t know how to drive causing pile ups shutting the highway down for hours (or days). It’s happened twice already this season.By law do you actually need chains with 3peak Ice/Snow tires and 4WD?
You got to love the first snows of the season it's always a shit-show around here.Yes when chain law is in effect.

I really wish CHP would just walk down the line handing out $600 tickets. Otherwise it will only get worse.You got to love the first snows of the season it's always a shit-show around here.

Too many people treat I-70 as just another highway not realizing or caring how quickly the weather can turn for the worst at higher altitudes. I was driving back from Moab last october and we got hit with a flash blizzard near Parachute that turned our 7hr drive into a 13hr one. What's crazy is another vehicle from our group left literally 20min before us and completely missed the storm, made it home sub-7hrs, I couldn't believe it.I really wish CHP would just walk down the line handing out $600 tickets. Otherwise it will only get worse.
Doesn’t say why. Just says don’t use chains with factory Tremor sized tires 285 75/18Why, clearance issue?
