Hi Larry,
Check these GoClaws out. I just found them online. I also have been thinking
about getting chains for off-roading in my Westy. The GoClaws look like they
would be the perfect solution and an excellent upgrade to the standard
chains. It would appear that you can drive these on hard pack snow or
pavement without rattling your fillings in your teeth loose. There are
several videos to watch on the site to gain a better understanding of how
they work.

Subject: Snow chains

Past experience with the 87 Westy in snow or sand hasn't been too good.=20
Heading to Telluride over the holidays but don't want to chance hitting snow
without better traction.  Any suggestions for chains, etc.  I've got
standard 14" tires.  Thanks

Larry
