When driving with cables, is it normal for there to be loud vibrations when not on snow? How do most people deal with this? Earplugs? > When driving with cables, is it normal for there to be loud > vibrations when not on snow? How do most people deal > with this? Earplugs? Well, DUH... You take the cables off! >When driving with cables, is it normal for there to be loud >vibrations > > when not on snow? How do most people deal with this? Earplugs? Take the chains or cables off. In most places it's illegal to drive with them on dry roads, isn't it? --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra.

It is impractical to be constantly stopping to change the cables. I expect that allowances are made in law or in practice under mixed conditions. You might check your drivers' license manual or other reference. The noise from cables never bothered me on the rare occasions when I was using them. If the noise is very loud, your speed may be unsafe for cables, and you may just have to slow down a bit. Read the directions on the box. --Dave > When driving with cables, is it normal for there to be loud > vibrations > > when not on snow? How do most people deal with this? Earplugs? Rule 1: You only use t hem when they are actually needed. Rule 2: Check laws to see when they're legal to use; it's not very often. Ruve 3: See Rule 1. > When driving with cables, is it normal for there to be loud > vibrations > > when not on snow? How do most people deal with this? Earplugs? Your cables will not last long at all on dry roads and are supposed to be removed or you go 'real' slow and careful to the next snow patch. They are for emergency use, just like chains. Something like my 4x4 in part time 4x4 mode for high traction. If I continue on in 4x4 after the snow has cleared, I 'will' break something, maybe something expensive. If you continue on on dry roads, a cable will let go likely sooner than later which can take out your brakes or a tire or just beat your fender to pieces.
