Question:
I have 285/70/17 tires on my Dodge Dually and have a question about the titan tire chain TC3829. It says it fits my tire size but with the larger tire sizes it says it also fits wouldnt that give excess slack / chain for my tire size? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Since all tire chains fit more than one tire size rubber chain tension adjustors like # TCMA2 can be installed to take up any slack and maintain correct tension so that chains remain in place on the tires.
The Titan Ladder Pattern V-Bar Snow Tire Chains # TC3829 you referenced are a confirmed fit for the 285/70-17 tires on your truck.
Always check your vehicle owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding use of tire chains.
