Automatic snow chains - yes really!

Not what I was expecting!
So obvious! Once you have seen it.
What sort of person goes around looking under fire engines. I never knew they had them, would hey not rattle a bit? Brian
I have no idea. I presume that they don't rattle too much, as they are used not just on fire engines, but on many normal, American trucks. I only knew about them as I happened to see a video, on Youtube a few weeks ago, showing them working on a truck on a snow covered road.
I suspect you see them if you are following one.
