Cable Style Snow Tire Chains for P225/75-16 Tires
Question:
I have tires P225 75R16 can I use LT225 27R16 tire chains?
asked by: Matthew
Expert Reply:
A tire size of 225/27-16 like you indicated in your question then that would mean it has an overall diameter of 20.78 inches compared to the 29.29 diameter of a 225/75-16.
If you meant LT225 vs P225 (/75-16 for both) then you can use use the appropriate size chains for both types of tire but some are better suited for one style or the other. For a P225 you would want to go with chains # PW1042 because they are better suited for passenger vehicle tires as opposed to light truck (LT) tires. I also recommend adjuster # PW100 to keep the chains taught.
I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ article for you.
