Headed out to Colorado 3rd Season and going to buy some new tire chains. What's the best out there? Where's the best place to buy?

Whatever you end up with, put them on before you go!!

I’ve bought several sets from Les Schwab, all of them have been great sets… I would recommend them…

The heavy duty ones with the v bar and make sure they clear. New trucks do not have the clearance that old ones have especially if you went a size larger or two on your tires.

Les Schwab let you return if unused, at least they did, worth checking out.

Get some old trucking chains and cut them down to fit. The clearance issue people have with newer trucks is when the chains come down too far on the sidewall.

If you only have a pair of chains put them on the front so you can steer. If they are on back and your front tires just slide those rear chains will just push you into the ditch.
