Snow Tire Cables for 265/70-16 Tires on a Dodge Dakota or Dodge Durango
Question:
Judging from your tire size table, these chains should fit 265/70R16 tires as well, since they fit tires one size under that, and one size over. Am I missing something, or is the table missing a size? The 265/70R16 is an oversize fit on some Dodge Dakota and Durango models whose stock tire is a 245/70R16. Thanks :

Expert Reply:
The issue is the difference between passenger vehicle car tires and light truck tires of the same size. Pewag breaks it down to cover certain chains and cables for car tires and different chains and cables for light truck tires even if they are the same size.
If you want cables for 265/70-16 light truck tires you would use # PW2028C with rubber adjusters # PW99. The rubber adjusters help keep the cables under the proper tension and in place on the tires.
Be sure to consult your vehicle owners manual for specific information on the use of tire chains. I have also included a link to our FAQ article on tire chains for you to view and a link to a video showing a typical isntallation of the cables.
