If you plan on having to install and remove tire chains off of the 225/75R16 tires on your 2015 Ram ProMaster 1500 frequently then I recommend investing in chains that are easily installed/removed. I also took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your ProMaster and low clearance and the potential to interfere with suspension components is something to watch out for. It also stated to only install chains on your front tires only.

With this in mind I highly recommend the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH02230K66 because after the initial installation they quickly install and remove, plus they don't go around the back of your tires so contact with suspension components isn't even an issue. These chains also come with a 5 year warranty as well which just adds to their value.

The Konig chains are fairly pricey so if you are not wanting to spend as much then we also have the Konig # TH04115245 which are the next step down or the Konig # TH01594245 which are even more cost effective. Both options are still fairly easy to install and remove but they do wrap around the back side of the tire so on tight turns or bumps there is a possibility that they can make contact with suspension parts (according to your manual).

Please note that you should never drive over 30 mph with tire chains on. If your owner's manual or local laws have lower speed restrictions with chains then you should always follow whichever is lower.

I have attached sample installation videos for all 3 chains so you can get an idea of how they work.
