Default tire chains

Ok so I know I'm gonna get told to use the search for this but, I'm looking to make tire chains and wanted to see what other people have done for them. I would use the search but for some reason I can't. It tells me that the rccrawler search isn't working, so with that said what have yall done for tire chains. I'm gonna run em on my stock 1.9 treps off my deadbolt. I have pitbulls on it now. thanks for the help

You can search stuff online with any search engine and then type "rccrawler.com" at the end of the search and it will show results from rccrawler.

Bought 20ft of wire made chain at the hardware store. Cut the pieces to length and just untwisted the links, hooked them together and crimped the link closed. Only tool I used were side cutters and needle nose pliers

I went to lowes and bought 15ft of chain and made mine. 3 packages did a set of 2.2 and a set of 1.9 with a bunch left over for replacements.
