Will the DISCONTINUED Glacier V-Trac Cable Snow Tire Chains PW2114V fit a 275/65-20 Tire Size

Published 12/13/2014

Question:

Tire size 275/65-20 is listed as being compatible with this product, but the description states that the cables are only good up to a 17inch wheel. Will it work with a 275/65-20 tire? Thank you,

What really matters when determining whether or not a set of tire chains will fit a wheel is the overall diameter of the tire. The rim size doesn't really matter that much since the tires that can fit that rim can be of various sizes.

The DISCONTINUED Glacier V-Trac Cable Snow Tire Chains PW2114V that you referenced would have fit a 275/65-20 tire size. From the chains available I recommend the Titan # TC2335 chains. They feature a diamond pattern that grips better when cornering and stopping. Additionally the square links dig in more.

You will need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any snow chain restrictions. I also attached an FAQ article on snow chains for you to check out.
