For the 245/75-16 tires on your 2012 Chevrolet Express van we offer a whole range of tire chains including both the low-profile S-Class type required for passenger vehicles with limited wheel clearance and also heavier-duty chains for on-road and off-road use. All chains for your tire size can be view by clicking on the linked page.

For example, for on-road use S-Class chains that include features like automatic tensioning and quick-release, such as Thule's K-Summit XXL # TH02230K77, are a great choice. These features make using the chains much easier and that means they'll tend to actually get used rather than just sit in your trunk.

If you need and are able to use off-road chains (that are NOT S-Class rated) you might consider the Titan Square Link # TC2221SCAM. These feature manganese-nickel alloy construction and manual installation.

You'll want to check your owner's manual for any guidance regarding tire chain use. Your manual will tell you what type of chains can be used on your van, and on which axle.
