Helpful Expert Reply:

The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chain # PW1034 that you referenced will not be as bumpy as other chains because they are not as large as linked tire chains. These have an outside diameter of just under 1/3 inch.

When tire chains are installed it is not recommended to drive over 30 mph, so between the speed and the snow on the ground, you should not have that bumpy of a ride.

I do recommend using the Glacier Rubber Adjuster # PW100 with the tire chains. These adjustors keep the chains taut around the tire. I have attached a brief installation video on a similar vehicle.

If you let me know the tire size on your 1993 Chevy S-10 I will confirm the fit of the # PW1034 that you reference.

I have attached two FAQ articles, one is covering Glacier Tire Chains and the other is a snow tire chain comparison and overview for your reference.
