Snow chains?

Local FLAPS is selling CCC (cheap chinese crap) snow chains for $100+ for truck sizes.

I assume that these are about $40 more than they should be, since Harbor Freight generally sells the same tools and stuff that FLAPS carries at about a 40% discount. I don't think they sell chains.

Anyone have a recommendation for an online source for chains? Gonna check Amazon, but figured I'd ask here. Not looking for super-dooper quality, but I don't want to pay $100 for CCC. I'd pay $60, but not $100.

TIA

Thanks Bruce, but that site is a really unwieldy.

Really? Click on "car tire chains" left side and it shows you tire sizes. Click on your tire size and it gives you stock options. Their out of PA so shipping won't be much.

Buy two sets, paint one gold, sell on CL for three times you paid, and you have your chains and time paid for!

Someone is going to pay big to have some gold chains on their car!

What are you planning to use them on?

FWIW, I have a set of 4 cut-down semi truck chains for my LR3. Works great!
