I have 265-70R16 Chains, will those work for 265-70R17 tires?

Not every snow tire chain that fits a 265/70R16 tire will fit a 265/70R17 tire because the fit will depend on the design and clearances, but many will be compatible. For instance the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair # TC2028 will be compatible with both sizes.

I've linked the page to both fit options so you can compare fits. If you have a specific chain that isn't on the list but is from one of our manufacturers, I'd be happy to do some research for you.
