Recommended Off-Road Tire Chains for 305/65-18 Tires

Question:

I have an off road ford F350. I plow 5 - 10 miles of dirt roads in Northern MN. Id like to get some tire chains for next winter. When I my vehicle the tire size isnt listed. When I pick tire size, it shows light truckinch or on road only. So, what Im looking for is 4 tire chains that fit 305/65 R 18 at a vehicle weight of ~15000 lbs. Also tighteners for said chains. And at 2 axel 4 tires. Thanks!

The Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains # PWE3231S are a fit for your 2006 Ford F-350 with tire size 305/65R-18. These are approved for on and off-road use. They come in a set of 2 so you will need to order 2 sets for all 4 tires. The are a heavy-duty chain thats much larger to give you better traction compared to smaller chains. Since they don't have built in tension devices I would pick up the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Heavy Trucks # TCMA3.

These are a heavy duty adjuster intended for your size truck and chain combination. They come in a pair so you will to order two pairs. I attached videos below about both of the products. The chains are on a smaller truck because they fit multiple tire sizes.
