    Default GoClaws?

    I wondered if any had tried GoClaws in this weather. I know there are also Snow Socks you could put on the front wheels or maybe Claws all around.

    I have read about tire replacement suggestions but wondered if anyone has gone this route.

    Default Looks like the way to go with chains.

    It sure looks like they would work. To late for this year but maybe by next year someone will have tried them.

    Looks like it might work' But if it should brake lose it can do allot of serious damage back there.
    Also all it's going to do is get you a little deeper in the snow before the truck with the hook has to pull you out.

    I saw a satellite photo last week and it looked like that movie The Day After Tomorrow.

    That would be our model T 33-6-1 at $149.95 for two tires.
    You will need 7/8 " clearance on the sidewalls.

    Please advise.

    Thank you,

    This is the reply I teceived. They would fit. I am unsure about the clearances. My hand does not fit well anywhere around the back tire.

    Any thoughts?

    Also, they seem to be sold by the pair. Not sure if they will sell just one.

    I was talking to the very nice guy from the company. It seems that the 7/8 of an inch will not fit,, according to my measurements.
    He did tell me that he would sell just one of I wanted to buy it after I told him why I was looking to buy.

    $75 + shipping.

    And I'm glad you called. I'm just not sure about clearances.

    Don't know, but if Eraser wants to head due west in Canada, he would be OK. I'm looking out my window at green grass and unlimited visibility right now. I expect coastal WA state is about the same.
