Expert Answers about Tractor Tire Chains


  • How Much Does Each Chain Weigh for the Titan Chain Alloy Tractor Tire Chains
  • The Titan Chain Alloy Tractor Tire Chains # TC0874S weigh in at 141 lbs a pair so each set will be at about that 71 lb mark. Sometimes packaging can cause slight variances in the weight of a package, but 64.5 lbs sounds a bit light. I did confirm the 141 lbs-per-pair weight with my contact at Titan Chain so I'm guessing the scale that UPS used for that weight is a little off.

  • Is a 4-Lug, 4.80-8 inch Tire and Wheel Adequate for Trailering a 400 lb Ariens Garden Tractor
  • It really just depends on the weight capacities of your rim and tire. The tires we sell that are the same size as yours have capacities of 590 lbs and 760 lbs depending on the load range of the tire. One of these tires would be adequate for your setup. You will need to check the weight capacity of your tires and wheels to determine if your setup is adequate. The weight capacity of the tire should be stamped on the sidewall along with the maximum psi recommendation for the tire. You always...

  • Can Additional Carrying Capacity be Added to a Car Hauler Trailer by Changing Springs and Tires
  • You may be able to add some weight carrying capacity to your JRC car hauler trailer but this will depend on how the trailer was designed and built, and whether JRC says that its frame structure and other parts can carry more weight. Adding heavier springs and/or higher-rated tires does NOT automatically mean the trailer can handle more weight; it just means that those new parts can handle more if they are rated higher than your existing springs and tires. The trailer's frame, axles and...

  • Do Snow Tire Chains For 245/75-16 Tires Have Specific Length
  • 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

  • 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...
