Expert Reply:

For your 35x12.5r18 tires, I recommend the Pewag All Square Mud Service Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # PWE2441S. These are designed for on or off road use in mud or snow. These chains are made from a durable and rust resistant nickel manganese alloy steel. The links are 8.2mm thick and a square link that will give you superior strength and grip. You will also want some rubber adjusters like # PW99 to keep the chains tight.

For a slightly more economical option, I recommend the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners for Wide-Base Tires - 1 Pair, # PWE3231SC. These chains are for on road use only and have the nickel manganese construction, but the square links are 5.6mm thick. You will want the rubber adjusters with these chains too.

For a very economic option, I suggest the Glacier Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners for Wide-Base Tires - 1 Pair, # PWH3231SC. These twist link chains are made of low-carbon steel. They are designed for on road use only. The rubber adjusters you want for these chains is # PW105.

I recommend checking your owner's manual for any restrictions on tire chain use.
