Hi Guys_ Garandman- Thje Snow Hogs are more than adequate . I' ve had both and would say that the chains are better than the tires but not worth the damage . Chains are only necessary if you have a VERY steep grade. Marc

Hi Garandman,and welcome to the forum. I always had chains on my old snowblower [which I sold at an outrageous price :-) ] However, with my new (last year's) Toro which has those tires, I can now clear a path in the yard to the birdfeeder without worrying about tearing up the lawn. This makes it easier for me,and makes my wife happy also,knowing that I'll fill it more often without grumbling,lol. I don't have any big grades to contend with though, so I can't say how well they'd work on hills. I can say they don't wreak havoc with the pavement like chains do,so I wouldn't be afraid to recommend them.
