Can Snow Tire Chains Be Used On a 2016 Nissan Frontier

Question:

Hi, I have a Nissan Frontier 2016. Even though its 4x4 I still got stuck in the snow 2 times last season. When I purchased my truck Nissan made sign a paper acknowledging that I was told by them that I couldnt use chains on the tires of that car. I wonder if theres any thing that can be used instead of metal chains. Please let me know. Thank you!

I do have alternative traction devices for vehicles in which the use of tire chains are not permitted in the form of tire cables. In order to recommend options for this alternative traction device I will need to know your exact tire size. I have attached some options below based on the common tire sizes for a 2016 Nissan Frontier.

235/75-15 Tires: Glacier V-Trac Cable Snow Tire Chains part # PW1042
265/60-18 Tires: Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains part # TC2028
265/70-16 Tires: Glacier V-Trac Cable Snow Tire Chains part # TC2028
265/75-16 Tires: Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains part # TC2028

The above options are all class s compliant so you will be okay to use them as that is what it states in your owner's manual.
