A question recently came up:

     On a 4WD pickup truck, on which pair of wheels would you put chains in
really bad conditions? Front or Back?

     One thought: In front, thats where the steering is & the added traction
                  will PULL you out of trouble.

 Another thought: In back, that'll keep the rear end from coming around.

I vote for front 'cause there'S more weight there.

Does anyone really know what the correct way is??
