Tire Cable Recommendation for a 265/70-16 and a 265/65-17 Size Tire
Question:
I am looking for one set of tire cables that will fit both of my vehicles. I have a 2007 Toyota 4Runner with tire size 265/65R17. I also have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with tire size 265/70R16. I want to purchase one set of tire cables for highway driving in the mountains when the snow is bad. I understand the speed and snow depth recommendations for tire cables. I would use these cables when speeds are slow due to traffic and snow has accumulated on the roadway, yet is being cleared by snowplows. I would like the ladderinch style tire cable, not chain for clearance issues for both vehicles. On your website I like the Glacier Cables or Titan Cables because of price. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The two different tire sizes you have call for different size tire cables. For the 265/70-16 you would want the Titan Cables part # TC2028 and then for the 265/65-17 you would need the # TC3010.
The good news is that you would be able to leave each set in the vehicle it will fit so you would never be caught without cables if you accidentally left them in the other vehicle.
Titan cables are excellent cables at a great price. I would recommend them for you. I attached an install video for you to check out.
You will need to check your owners manual to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage.
