Since you mentioned that you will be using these on a tractor I recommend the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Tractors # TCMA4 which are designed to be used with heavy equipment like your tractor. These chain adjusters include 2 adjusters for 1 pair of chains and will install by simply attaching the hooks to the installed chains. The springs allow for constant tension to providing a tight, secure fit and will maintain tension, even if one arm breaks. They will fit wheels... view full answer...
Even military eqipment especially equipped for snow will have trouble with 30 inches of snow. No pickup truck is going to push this amount of snow. Maybe if you have it equipped with a snow blade to clear the road ahead of you.
For heavy snow I recommend going with square links because they will have the most grip and the links tend to be larger than other chain types. I am not sure though if you should use chains while on the frozen lake since the steel could crack the ice.

For your tire size of LT275/70R18 you'll want an off-road style chain like the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains for Wide-Base Tires # PWE3229S. The large square links of this is going to give you the traction you'll need for deep mud/snow and if needed they could be used on roads covered in snow as well. These are also made of a material that makes them last longer than most chains and they can be reversed to get even more life out of them. I attached an install video for these for you... view full answer...
The information I have regarding the snow chain law in California is that you are required to be equipped with tire traction devices when entering a sign restricted area. You will want to check with the California Department of Transportation for the exact guidelines.
You will also want to check either your owners manual or your local Ford dealer to find out the Ford guidelines regarding snow chains. In the owners manual I found on line there are several guidelines.

Snow chains can generally be used on either all four drive wheels or only two, but in terms of maximizing braking and steering control you are absolutely on the right track in considering chains on all four tires. Since you are going to be driving your Sierra on hilly off-road terrain I do suggest you equip all four tires with chains. This will help keep the truck handling characteristics consistent from uphill to downhill grades.
The choice of tire chains for your vehicle depends on your... view full answer...
You would have to check with your local DOT to determine if tire cables are an acceptable form of tire chains in your area. Most likely you would want a chain and not a cable though, especially for a heavy duty truck since the cables are not as durable as a chain. We have several chains designed for heavy duty trucks that would be a much better option, especially in Canada where the snowfall is very heavy.

According to the owner's manual for your vehicle, Nissan doesn't recommend using tire chains on Maxima models equipped with 245/45-18 tires. If your vehicle uses that size, in order to use chains, Nissan recommends swapping your wheel/tire size to 225/55-17. If you swap to those size wheels/tires, I'd recommend the Konig # TH00023103.
Some vehicle manufacturers will endorse the usage of Class S rated chains when they're worried about clearance between the inside of the tires and braking/suspension... view full answer...
If you are planning on driving in heavy snowfall with your 2021 Subaru Forester with your standard 225/55-18 tires, I strongly recommend tire chains over socks and cables. The reason why is because socks and cables are only recommended for light/shallow snowfall and will not provide you with as much traction in heavy snow.
With that being said, I recommend the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link # TH01221104. The great thing about the Konig standard chains is that... view full answer...
I can certainly help you find tire chains for your 2013 Toyota Tacoma with LT265/75R16 tires.
I recommend going with the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams # TC2828CAM. These are heavy duty chains that would work well in heavy snow and ice. You will also want to add rubber tensioners, such as # TCMA2, to ensure that the chains are fitting tightly on the tires. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out. view full answer...
I recommend using the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains # TC2821CAM for the single tires on your 1986 Ford F-350 with LT235/85R16 tires. We do not have every vehicle fit in our guide due to the age of them. These chains have a heavy duty twist link with V-Bars for biting into ice and packed snow. The Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster # TCMA3 will help to keep the chains tight as you drive and plow snow. view full answer...
For heavy duty tire chains for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with 245/75R16 tires I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2524 due to the heavy duty square links made out of manganese nickel alloy, and the built in chain tensioners that offer adjustability allowing you to make sure the chains are tight to your tires. These chains offer excellent traction in both snow and ice, while the diamond pattern offers a smoother, more comfortable ride and also covers more... view full answer...
I do have some heavy duty snow tire chain options for you but the distance between the cross chains is about the same for them all. The heavy duty options will use a ticker chain, not cross chain spaced closer together. I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains part # TC3229S which use 7mm thick chains with square links which provide excellent traction both on and off-road. The chains are rated for use both off and on-road. view full answer...
The Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Light Trucks # TCMA2 should work for your application. These are compatible rims 14" - 24" in diameter (not including the tire sidewall) so since your tire chain is 25" this will reach. All adjusters have about the same amount of durability so there aren't any that are classified as "heavy duty" necessarily. view full answer...
The Titan heavy duty chains # TC2221SHD you referenced are designed to fit the following tires sizes:
225/85-16
235/80-17

245/75-15
245/75-16
255/70-16
265/70-15
265/75-15
Depending on the size of your rear tires, you can still use the Titan heavy duty chains # TC2221SHD as long as they are within the ranges listed above. Another great set is the Pewag all square snow tire chains # PWE4228SC for dual truck tires.

I did some research on your 2016 Ram 2500.
Per the owner's manual tire chains can only be used on the rear tires. For your 285/60R20 tires, the heavy-duty chains we offer are the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires, part # TC3229SCAM. These are a ladder-pattern manganese nickel alloy chain with square links that are excellent in snow and on ice. These include cam tighteners so adjusting is easy. When using these chains the maximum speed rating is 30-mph.

For your 2009 RAM truck equipped with 265/75-17 tires we recommend the Pewag PWE3229S chains that are wide-based and all square linked . Since you have an offroad style of tire this would be a great choice to match that since the tread is probably wider and more squared off than non-off road style tires. We also recommend using # PW105 rubber adjusters to help keep chains centered and tight.

The best tire chains for your family trips to the California mountains are, as you suspected, the V-bar style chains.
The main difference between the Titan V-Bar Tire Chains # TC2828 and the Titan Twist Link Snow Tire Chains # TC2228 is their aggressiveness and ride quality. As you mentioned, the v-bar style chains are going to offer the most traction and are best equipped to really bite into that ice and provide excellent grip in deep snow. The only drawback is that your ride quality,... view full answer...
The best tire chains I can recommend for your 2014 Ford Explorer with P255/50R20 wheels and tires is the Thule Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115265. These chains literally install in seconds and have rim protection built into them to help prevent damage to your larger rims.
I attached an install video for this style of chain for you to check out.
You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to be sure there are no restrictions on tire chain usage as well. view full answer...
For mud service tire chains on your Tacoma equipped with 265/70-17 tires a good choice is the Titan # TC2228 with twisted links on a ladder pattern set.
A better option is the Pewag # PWE2439S mud service chains with all aquare links. These chains have a much more aggressive grip. Either way, add the # PW105 rubber tensioners to help keep them centered and tight.
