asked by: Ron
Helpful Expert Reply:
When using tire chains like the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams # TC2828CAM on a 4 wheel drive vehicle, the chains should go on the primary drive axle. This information should be in your owner's manual. More than likely it is the rear axle.
If you let me know what vehicle and tire size you have I would be happy to make a recommendation. I have attached a link to all of our tire chains for your reference.
