The owner's manual for your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 states you cannot use tire chains on the 275/60R20 tires. The manual states there can be clearance issues if chains are used.
I recommend contacting your dealership for clarification concerning tire chains or tire cables on your truck.
If using Class S cable tire chains are allowed I recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW3029C on your size tires. These chains have rubber tensioners included to help secure the chains to... view full answer...
Awesome choice for snow tire chains for your 2015 Audi Q5, and I took a look at the online owner's manual, and it says that you should only use snow tire chains on the rear wheels, so you will only need two snow tire chains. For these, I highly recommend going with chains that are easy to put on and offer the best tire coverage, which are chains from Konig. The correct ones will depend on your Audi's tire size:
- 235/55-19 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01594250
- 235/60-18 Tires: Konig... view full answer...
I went ahead and confirmed with your owner's manual for your 2021 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that you can either put chains on all 4 tires or just the rear tires only. If you need confirmation of whether these chains fit your particular size tires, feel free to respond to this answer with your tire size.
For the second question, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links # TC2228 does not come with rubber ties/adjusters. For those adjusters, I recommend the Titan Chain Multi-Arm... view full answer...
The Michigan DOT website does state that a person may use a tire chain of reasonable proportion on a vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice or other condition tending to cause a vehicle to skid. However, it further states that the chain must not come into contact with the surface of the roadway. Based on this restriction it sounds like it would not be permissible to leave chains on continuously throughout the winter months unless road conditions were consistently snowy.

The reason you received a note not to install tire chains is because of clearance and the possibility of damaging something on the vehicle. You may check the owner's manual that you can use Class S tire chains which have a much lower profile and the risk of damage is reduced. If you are unable to find that information in the owner's manual you can check with your dealership.
The problem is that some areas require the use of snow chains in winter so that creates a real problem for the vehicle... view full answer...
I researched your 2011 Porsche Cayenne online, and the manual states that for four wheel drive vehicles, you can use two sets of snow chains, but if only one set is used they are normally installed on the rear tires. If you are installing tire chains on a two wheel vehicle, they are installed on the drive axle. Since there are several different options for tire and wheel sizes for your Cayenne, you will need to select snow tire chains based on the size tires you have installed. You will... view full answer...
I did some research and read in the owner's manual on page 10-58 that tire chains are not to be used.
We do run into this problem with customers wanting to take their vehicle where chains are required by law. The owner's manual says not to use them so it can be very confusing. Due to the clearance around the tire that is required when using tir chains, you may be able to use a Class S chain that has a much lower profile than standard chains. We have tire cables that many customers use... view full answer...
We can get your trailer with 235/75-15 tires set up with snow tire chains, and since you mentioned cables, I'll start there. You said you wanted good units, but cables are honestly never good. They are mostly one-time, emergency use only, so if you just want something to say you have a traction device on hand, or single use, go with the Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC729DC.
Otherwise, I strongly recommend actual chains instead, and for quality chains that will work... view full answer...
All tire chains require reduced driving speeds. If road conditions are bad enough to justify the use of tire chains then they are also bad enough to merit a slower driving speed. Individual chain makers and chain types may vary slightly but generally speaking a maximum speed rating for tire chains is typically 30-35 mph.
Reduced driving speed is required both for your safety and for the vehicle's too since some chains could contact the inside of the wheel wells or possibly the brake assemblies... view full answer...
The largest benefit to using the Thule Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, # TH02230K55, is the fact that it is the only chains which leave your wheels untouched. The tire chain strictly sits on the tire tread to avoid damage to your vehicle's rims. In addition these chains offer a self-centering, self-tensioning system and steel tensioning springs to create a perfect fit even on worn tires.
Having recently completed a training session on tire chains here at etrailer, I can tell... view full answer...
When considering the V-bar links that come on the Titan Chains Snow Tire Chains # TC2841CAM, while technically it is possible that the chains can twist around, it is highly unlikely. This is because the cam-tighteners in the chains provide superior tightening so that the chains cannot turn over. Also, with this particular design, the V-bar designs do not have sharp ends; they are blunted with straight angles. With all this being said, as long as you have the proper clearance and have the... view full answer...
The only tire chain that we currently have listed as a fit for the 245/50-18 tires on your 2014 BMW X3 are the Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, # PWSXV580. These chains are Class S rated, which means they also qualify for the Class U rating. Class U is actually less restrictive than Class S, so these will work great for you.
I have attached a demonstration video of these chains for you to check out. I have also attached a few help articles on tire chains. view full answer...
I called my contact about the Thule SelfThule Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains, part # TH00023100.
They told me these are not what you said is an on and off chain and the tire chains are designed to be driven at speeds between 30 to 40 mph. view full answer...
The text from the owners manual for your 2014 Subaru Impreza states pretty clearly that tire chains are not to be used on your vehicle. I cannot recommend any chains for your vehicle due to the fact that we cannot assure there will be no damage if you use tire chains.
They added a note that use of another traction device like spring chains may be acceptable. Although we do offer alternatives to the traditional tire chains, I am not certain if they would be acceptable as the owners manual... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Clearance refers to the clearance from the top and sides of the tires to the fender wells on your vehicle. You want to make sure there is plenty of room between the tires and the suspension components and body of the truck. Usually there is plenty of clearance on trucks, but you will want to check your vehicle owners manual to see if tire chains are allowed to be used or recommended for your Chevrolet C/K Series Truck. If your truck is lowered or has modified suspension or wheels, clearance... view full answer...
You ask a very good question.
Tire chains that are rated as S-Class compatible are suitable for use on passenger vehicles that have limited clearance in the wheel wells. Unlike a vehicle like a pickup truck that generally has a good bit of room inside the wheel wells, many passenger cars have little extra space around the tires. For these vehicles low-profile S-Class chains are often required by the auto maker. We always suggest reviewing your vehicle owner's manual for any guidance regarding... view full answer...
We do offer snow tire chains for your 2015 XJL. The chains you select depend on the size tires you have. For instance, if your drive wheels are 295/30-20 you could use Konig # TH02230K44 chains which are S-class compatible and self-adjusting.
I have attached a link to our product page for snow tire chains for your vehicle. You can select the tire size on the page and it will take you to the product page for the chains that are designed for the tire size you selected or you can let me know... view full answer...
I am sorry, the second half of the question doesn't seem to have made it through in your original note. The Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains, part # PWH2828SC you referenced are excellent in ice and snow. These chains will provide better traction than the cable style.
You need to be aware that you need to stay within the snow chain speed limit that is rated for your individual chain set, typically 30-40 mph. You need to check your owner's manual to see if there are any restrictions for... view full answer...
I found the information you were looking for about Virginia's tire chain laws.
Yes the Titan Diamond Alloy Tire Chains # TC2326 are legal in Virginia. Tire chains are permissible when required for safety because of snow, ice or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to slide or skid. Vehicles blocking traffic due to lack of tire chains may be fined. I've attached the Help Article that outlines this for your convenience. view full answer...
