Can I Use the Same Tire Chains on 265/60r18 and 265/65r18 Tires

Question

Question:

Have a 2020 hero grand Cherokee trailhawk with 265 60r 18 , but was thinking about getting 265 65r 18 tire size , do I have to buy two sets of snow chains whenever I like to swap tires between the 60r and 65r? Or can I use the snow chains for 65r for both sets

I have a solution for you, but because of the width difference between the 265/60r18 and 265/65r18 tires, you would need two different chains. For the 265/60r18 tires you'll need a Size 265 chain like the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XB16 - Size 265 # TH01571265. For the 265/65r18 tires you'll need a Size 267 chain like the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 267 # TH01594267.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, but there are some videos of them being installed on similar Jeep Grand Cherokees
