Why I chainup ALL four! [ if I chainup at all ]

One winter's day on Mt Laguna, I was proceeding down hill on the Sunrise Highway -- in my 2wd,rwd, 55 Ford SAR rig, chained only on my rear drive wheels -- vehicle in front of me wasn't chained at all -- we came to an exceptionally icy stretch - down hill curve - and the lead vehicle began to fishtail slowly then overcorrected and slid off the road and over the side - rolling over several times before comin up against a big pine tree which stopped it's fall -- watched all of this in kinda slow motion.

I, in my adrenalin racin excitement, turned to the side to pull over to render aid -- all was well -- UNTIL -- I braked to stop!

My SAR rig continued straight [ w the wheels turned left ] in the skidpath of the previous vehicle till finally stoppin -- with -- I'm shure -- my RF tire hangin in the air over the edge of the road!

Well -- I said a leetil prayer, threw it inta reverse, backed up and lined up better w the road edge -- bailed out and ran to assist the unfortunate driver and his passengers outa their battered vehicle [ was on it's side ] luckily, no one was hurt moren bumps & bruises.

From that day to this, I chain up ALL FOUR TIRES so that I kin steer as well as move.

Nearta had to clean my seat!

folks are all the time askin me what I recommend as far as to how many tires to chainup -- I say "from experience -- "
