Re: Snow Chains on a Dually?
All I can say is that I share your frustration, becasue my 70 1 ton dually flatbed is the same way - those four rear tires give so much surface area/weight distribution that they just float on anything slippery. Otherwise a good and neat truck, but it simply is a DOG under those conditions.
I have used chains when absolutely necessary to move it on snow/ice, but do not run it very fast. Wider tires do not give enough clearance between tires to install chains- 235s are too wide on mine. We get some rough winter driving up here at 8,000 ft. and I am very fortunate to have others that go well - so now I simply park the dually further into the garage in winter and wait until Spring.
