• Snow tire chains for your vehicle with size 245/75-16 tires are going to have different lengths, it just depends on the tire chain. The reason for that is there are so many different chains, and they are designed to fit numerous different sizes of tire, depending on the chain. The best way to choose the tire chain is to find one that fits your tire as well as your needs. For example, if you wanted something that was easy to install, used on normal snow or ice and was Class S compatible...

• Recommended Tire Chains for a 2014 Dodge Charger
• No, you just need the one set on the rear axle. Unless your owner's manual says otherwise the only vehicles that use tires on both axles are 4WD.

• Can the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2319 be Used on 225/75R16 Tires for 18K Penske Truck
• The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2319 are a confirmed fit for your 225/75R16 tires. Since tire chains are designed to fit specific tire sizes and those tires have specific load ratings you should have no issues as long as you are within your load weight rating and you are driving the recommended speed by law with tire chains on (or no more than 30 mph with these tire chains). Be sure to check your owner's manual and any local laws about the use of tires chains as well.

• Can I Use Tire Chains for a 2014 Ford F-150 4X4 With 275/55-20 Size Tires
• I also saw in the owner's manual for the 2014 Ford F-150 that Ford does not recommend snow chains, but the manual also suggests that if you use snow chains you will need to only use SAE Class S rated chains. The main issue that consumers are dealing with on the use of tire chains is, as you mentioned, what the manufacturer recommends and what the law demands. The question becomes do you ignore the manufacturer's recommendation and face possibly voiding your warranty or do you adhere to...

• What is the Internal Clearance Requirement for the Titan Snow Chains # TC2028 for My 2013 Audi Q7?
• I have a great solution for snow tire chains on your 2013 Audi Q7. Unfortunately, the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern # TC2028 needs at least 15mm of internal clearance between the inside of the tire and the vehicle. With that measurement, these will not work with your 13.5mm clearance limitation. With that being said, we do have a couple options that only require 12mm of clearance that fit standard tires for your 2013 Audi Q7. For these options, I recommend the following...

• Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2005 Saturn Ion with 195/60-15 Tires
• In order to determine what chains, if any, can be used on your 2005 Saturn Ion, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual. There should be a section on chains, if they can be used, and if so if there are any restrictions. We have not had a 2005 Saturn Ion in to be fitted for chains so it is a measurement I do not have. What you can do is cut the wheels all the way left, measure, all the way right, measure, and straight, measure. You will measure from the inside of the tire to...

• Konig Tire Chains For a 2023 Toyota Highlander With 235/65-18" Tires
• The Konig Commercial Truck Tire Chains # th01571255 are the XB-16. While these will fit a 235/65R18 tire your 2023 Toyota Highlander does not have enough clearance in the wheel wells for this particular tire chain. So if you bought these you would not be able to return for a full refund as they are not listed to specifically fit your Highlander. Instead you will need one of their following tire chains.

• Recommended Tire Chains for a 2016 Toyota RAV4 w/ 235/65R17
• Both the pewag Servo RS Tire Chains item # PWRS80 and the Konig Tire Chains item # TH01594247 fit a 235/65R17 tire. They have the same degree of difficulty when installing because they're both self tensioning. Each will require a minimum of 1.46" between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well and at least 0.59" between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle. I recommend going with the Konig Tire Chains item # TH01594247 because of the thicker chains and the better warranty. They also...

• Pewag Square Link Tire Chains for Ford F-350 with Slide-In Truck Camper
• The weight of your F-350 with its slide-in truck camper is not in itself an issue for tire chains so long as you avoid driving on bare or nearly-bare pavement. The truck's weight will work to your advantage in that it will help the chains dig in to hard packed snow and ice, but driving them on pavement will increase wear. Generally for heavy-duty truck applications we like to recommend square link chains like the Pewag All Square set # PWE3210SC because they are more durable. These chains...

• Recommended Snow Chains for 2005 Chevy Avalanche With 285/70-17 Tires
• I took a look at the online owner's manual (which are sometimes updated) of the 2005 Chevy Avalanche, and it stated that the 1500 Series should not use tire chains because there is not enough clearance, though it also states you can use another type of traction device if it is recommended for use on your vehicle and tire size combination. For the 2500 Series the only restriction was that the chains be placed on the rear wheels. So if you have the 1500 Series Avalanche, there is a set...
