Snow Chain Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Explorer with 255-50R20 Tires

Expert Reply:
The owners manual for your 2015 Ford Explorer states to use chains 10 mm or less on the inner wall measurement which most often are cable chains/spring chains.
By far the best chains that meet this criteria for your 255-50R20 tires are the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2324. They are easy to install and remove with a tensioning system integrated into the chains. The square links will give superior traction to a cable chain. They come with a reusable storage case.
The only other chains we have that meet that criteria are the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair, # TC3010. These are cable chains that provide traction in light snow. Rubber adjusters are recommended to keep chains secure. I recommend using # TCMA2. These chains are a drape over and drive over 1/2 way installation with metal stops on metal hook application with a metal clip for extra length storage. Then you drive one car length and adjust tension. I've included a video for you.
