Tires Again!

+1,  AND Mine is bigger than _____

You need a bigger club.

deanj, not to worry.  You had a legitimate question and it is an issue with many different views, thus the controversy.  All of the views have legitimate points and it is up to each person to decide which seems to be most valid.  Indeed, the question is still open.  The lack of data, as OG correctly points out, complicates the matter and leaves us to report anecdotal experiences that are not really very reliable vis-a-vi the big picture.  Personally, I'm glad you raised the issue and it was interesting seeing the different views.

IMHO - Chains crossed, +1 to OG, but also I adjust chain length to form a "basket" to catch tongue before it contacts the pavement.  Assists tongue in not digging in.  Safety cable to TV not hitch, also I am one of those people that makes safety cable shorter than chains.  My thinking is the brakes should apply before chains are stretched to max.  When I purchased my Pod , one of the first things I did was change the way the chains attached.  I was not pleased with FR attachment process.
