Recommend Tensioners For Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C on 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe

Question:

Do I need tie straps on these tire chains to keep them in the correct position on the tire? Can I just use some stiff bungies? Also is there a speed limit suggested while running with these chains.

When using the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C, it is recommended to use the Glacier Rubber Adjusters # PW99, for rim sizes 16 to 20 inches. The adjusters will provide tension on the chains to keep the tire chains in the correct position. I cannot recommend using just any bungee cord.

Snow chains are fitted by tire size, if your Tahoe has the 275/55-20 tire size, the # PW2028C chains will fit. Before installing snow chains on your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will want to check the vehicle owners manual to make sure it is acceptable or recommended to use snow chains on your vehicle.

Pewag, the manufacturer of the Glacier Chains recommends staying below 30 MPH when using their snow chains.

I have linked an FAQ on snow tire chains where you will find additional information and guidelines.
