Expert Answers about Glacier

Cable Tire Chains for a 2013 Ford C-Max Energi
If the owners manual says not use tire chains then I cannot recommend going against that. However, it is a Catch-22 because in some areas of the country, chains are required by law. I would speak with Ford to see how they handle that discrepancy. If they allow you to use chains then you could use either # PW1034 (and rubber adjuster # PW99) or # PW1938V that you have referenced if the tire size is 225|50-17. If you have a different tire size, let me know and I can make other recommendations.

OEM Tire Size Comparison for a 2013 Toyota Tundra For Towing Safety and Ice Fishing
The most important factor to consider when buying tires for a truck that you use to tow trailers is the load capacity of the tires. If the P275/55R20 tires are the factory tires for the 2013 Toyota Tundra, then this should not be an issue. Tires will wear faster than normal when towing, but that is going to be the case with any tire. As long as the load capacity of the tires on the truck can accommodate the weight of the truck plus the payload capacity of the truck and the tongue weight of y

Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for 265/70R17 Tire Size on 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD
If your owners manual specifies tire chains only on the rear of your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, then I would also recommend to use tire chains only in the rear. Sometimes the reason the manufacturer does not recommend tire chains on a vehicle is because of clearance, but it also could be for other reasons. Both of the snow tire chains and snow tire cables will work great in snow conditions. The difference is the snow chains will give you better grip in more ice conditions because the chain link

What Tire Chains for 2008 Dodge Sprinter with LT245/75/16 Tires on Factory Rims
These Glacier Mud Service Snow Tire Chains, part # PWH2437S, are compatible with the light truck tires on your 2008 Sprinter. These are a good choice for off-road use. For strictly on-road applications you can use part # PWH2221SC, the Glacier Tire Chains for the 2008 Sprinter. These low-carbon steel twist-link chains tighten manually with included cams. For either of the above chains, we recommend use of a rubber chain tension adjuster, part # PW99. If you want chains with additional f

Recommended Tire Chains for a 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited
The # PW2028C Glacier cable snow chains are a fit for the 265/70-16 tire size on your 1997 Toyota 4Runner, but I would definitely recommend getting the rubber adjusters. These chains fit a range of tire sizes but do not have a built-in tightening feature, so the adjusters are required to take up the slack unless your tire size is one of the largest in the range. The # PW100 adjusters fit vehicles with 12 to 16 inch wheels and the # PW99 set fits 16 to 20 inch wheels. Since your 16 inch whee

Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2004 RX 330 AWD and a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD
Snow tire chains are designed to give you additional traction in heavy snow and ice conditions, even vehicles that have AWD and 4WD. If you plan on taking a trip to an area with heavy snow or ice, it would be a good idea to bring a set of tire chains along for emergency situations. Using tire chains is not necessarily required, but they will help in hazardous conditions and there are even some areas that require the use of snow chains during certain times of the year.

Will Glacier Snow Chains # PW3029C Work on a 2012 Chevy Tahoe with 275/55R20 Tires
The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW3029C that you referenced are confirmed to fit 275/55R20 tires, so as long as you consult the owners manual of your 2012 Chevy Tahoe and it does not have any restrictions on snow chains listed then these should work well for you. I attached an FAQ article on snow chains for you to check out also.

How Fast Can I Go On a Snow-Covered Highway Using Tire Chains
First, if there are posted speed limits, make sure to obey those. We usually recommend traveling no more than 30 to 40 miles per hour with chains installed. The faster you travel the more wear you can put on the chains in addition to a higher chance of losing traction. Pewag and Glacier suggest an even more modest pace of 25 miles an hour or so. I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ article for you with additional information on the use of chains. Be sure to consult your owners manual

Correct Tire Chain Adjuster for Use on Glacier Tire Chains for 2012 Subaru Impreza, Part # PW1038
Your first step is to check your owners manual for any guidance concerning use of tire chains on this vehicle. The specified tire chain adjuster for the Glacier Tire Chain, part # PW1038, when used on 17-inch wheels is in fact the # PW99, although the video shows installation of the smaller size, part # PW100. In typical use on 17-inch wheels it will be easier to install the larger size since they will offer more slack. Part # PW99 will help to keep the Glacier S-Class Tire Chains properl

What Is The Maximum Recommended Speed For a Vehicle Using Glacier Dual-Wheeled Tire Chains # PW4045C
The recommended maximum speed for the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chain # PW4045C is 30 mph. Speeds faster than that may increase wear on the chains and could lead to part failure. When using a tire chain, you will want to install them immediately to ensure a proper fit under optimal conditions so you will have a better idea of how to install them in inclement weather. Also, once they are installed for actual use, you should drive approximately 1/4 mile, then stop and re-tighten the chains. You

Slipping Chains and No Traction when Using Snow Tire Chains on a Ford F-150
Your truck is a rear wheel drive vehicle and since you made it up without the chains on I do not think it was the weight, or lack of weight, in the back. There is a speed limitation with chains. Basically you will want to go about 25 miles per hour. Certain chains are not good in ice so depending on the chain type and the nature of the accumulation on the road, that could be the problem. If you were using cables like # PW3027C they are not good in ice at all. Also if the chains are not tight

Where Should Snow Tire Chains be Placed on a 2008 Honda CR-V
Chains should be placed on the main drive wheels of a vehicle but can be put on all 4 if you wanted to. On a front wheel drive vehicle they would need to go on the front. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for information on the use of chains with the vehicle. For a 2008 Honda CR-V I show the tire size as 225/65-17. I have included a link to the chains recommended for the 2008 Honda CR-V with this tire size. If you have a different tire size you can use the chain fit guide, link

Class S Tire Chain Definition and Recommendation for a 2007 Honda Odyssey with 235/65R-16 Tires
The Glacier Square-Link Snow Tire Chains, # PWPLC1142, are compatible for use on vehicles that require a Class S or smaller tire chain, like your 2007 Honda Odyssey. Class S refers to limited clearance tire chains that measure 15mm or less at the side walls and 37mm or less across the tread of the tire they are designed to fit. Because your vehicle has limited wheel well and front suspension clearance you will want to make sure these chains are as tight as possible when installed on the tires

Cable Style Snow Tire Chains for P225/75-16 Tires
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 a

Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Sienna SE with 235/50-19 Tires
We do have several chains options for the 235/50-19 tire size but the Glacier 1046 chains will not fit. Instead you would need PW2016C. However, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or a local dealership about the use of chains. There can be restrictions on the use of chains on some vehicles, depending on tire size, so consulting the owners manual is a must.

Provided that the tires on your 2000 Dodge Ram are 235/85-16 size you can use chain # PWH3251SC on dually wheels. If you have a different tire size that could be the issue. If you do have this tire size and the chains will not fit then it could be because of slight differences amongst tire manufacturers. Some tires of the same size but from different manufacturers have slightly different dimensions. Wear and inflation also play a factor.

Can Tire Chains be Used For General Driving in Michigan
While these chains are compliant with DOT regulations in all states, I suggest you review your local and state laws regarding use of tire chains. The Michigan DOT website does state that a person may use a tire chain of reasonable proportion upon a vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice or other condition tending to cause a vehicle to skid. However, it further states that the chain must not come into contact with the surface of the roadway. Based on this restriction it sounds like

Are Snow Tire Chains or Cables Recommended for a 2003 Ford Van
Both of the snow chains and snow cables will work great in snow conditions. One difference is the snow chains will give you better grip in more ice conditions because the chain links will bite into the ice where as the snow cables tend to slide over the ice. The snow chains will make a little more noise on dry pavement as compared to the snow cables. Cable style chains, like the Glacier Cable Tire Chain, # PW2016C, will provide the best ride comfort, but you will be sacrificing performance in

How to Determine if Snow Tire Chains Can be Used on a 2010 Saturn Outlook
The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for the use of tire chains.

In that situation what you want to do is contact a GM dealer (since Saturn no longer exists) for their recommendation.
