Recommended Titan Tire Chains to Fit Both 235/75R15 and 225/75R15 Tires

Question:

I am looking for a chain around this price point that will fit both my summer and my winter tires on my toyota pickup. Summers are 235 75r15 and winters are 225 75r15. Will this fit the 235s? That size is not mentioned but it is only 1cm difference. These will be used in mud and snow.

As you mentioned in your question, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains # TC2216 are a confirmed fit for your 225/75R15 winter tires but not for the slightly larger 235/75R15 size tires. The difference in the two sizes is definitely minimal but I spoke with my contact at Titan and he says he thinks this slight difference could cause some trouble with fitment, as the 225/75R15 is at the large end of what that chain will work on.

A better option for obtaining a set of chains that will fit both tires is to go with one that is designed for the slightly larger 235/75R15 set instead, and make them work for the slightly smaller tire as well. Since the smaller tire is also your winter set, the actual overall diameter and width might be a bit beefier than normal anyway. Add-on components like the Titan Multi-Arm Adjusters # TCMA2 can also be used to create a tighter fit with the chains on the smaller tire if needed.

For the same style Titan chains that are confirmed to fit the 235/75R15 tires I recommend the Titan # TC1142. These will give you great traction in the snow, ice, or mud and 2 chains are included with the set. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
