  • Tire Chains for a 2013 Toyota Tundra 4x4 and 24 to 30 Inches of Snow
  • 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. If you have...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains for Use on Case Skid Steer with 12 X 16.5 Tires
  • For the 12-16.5 tires on your skid loader, I recommend using the Pewag Skid Steer Chains # PWSSE12165-2. These use 8.2mm nickel manganese alloy cross chains and are made for off-road and snow removal use. You'll want to check the operator's/owner's manual for your Case Skid Steer for any guidance regarding use of tire chains. The manufacturer of any vehicle, whether its a passenger car or a piece of heavy equipment, gets to decide if, when and how tire chains will be used on their vehicle. In...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 275/70R18 in Mud and Deep Snow
  • 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.

  • What Tire Chain Can Be Used Legally in California on 1995 Ford Explorer
  • 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. If you have 255/70-16...

  • Snow Chains or Cables for a Heavy Duty Truck In Canada
  • 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. Follow the link I attached to the right and enter your tire size to see what is...

  • Which Snow Chains for Use on 2013 GMC Sierra 4X4 for Use on Gravel Road
  • 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...

  • Using Tire Chains on a 2008 Nissan Maxima
  • 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...

  • What Tire Chains do You Recommend for My 2022 Subaru Forester for Driving in Heavy Snow?
  • 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...

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.

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Snow Tire Chains for 33x12.5-15 Tires
  • 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.

  • Chain Adjuster Recommendation for a New Holland Skid-Steer Tire Chain
  • 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.

  • Tire Chains to Fit 2004 Ford F-350 for Plowing
  • The Titan Chain snow chains you referenced, part # TC2828, are a good chain for the purpose you're intending to use them but they may not be a good choice for your truck. First of all it depends on your tire size. Let me know what size tires you have on your truck so I can confirm a fit. Secondly, your 2004 Ford F-350's owner's manual recommends Class S compatible chains to make sure there's enough clearance between the chain and any part of the truck such as wiring or brake lines.
