Are There Different Speed Ratings For Snow Tire Chains?

Question

Question:

I was wondering if there are high speed chains or cables for 35X12.5X20 tires? Looks like everything is rated for 30mph. Please advise. Thanks

All tire chains for all size tires have that 30 mph speed rating. People obviously can choose to follow those ratings or not, but the ratings are there to protect your vehicle. Your owners manual will give restrictions on what you can use and how fast you can use it.

For your 35X12.5X20 tires, I recommend the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners for Wide-Base Tires - 1 Pair, # PWE3229SC, for the best traction.
