Question:

Which Chains should I consider? - Tundra manual says dont put chains on front. But, I need 4. Where I hunt in Colorado, the mud gets bad and I must have chains on all 4. I called Toyota dealer and they couldnt give me an answer and said I should call an auto parts store. How can I resolve this?

For a tire size of 275/65R18, a tire chain like the Titan Chain Mud Service Snow Tire Chain, # TC2439 will work well on your vehicle. This Titan chain is a dual service chain that can be used on or off road. The twist links help provide traction in both snow and muddy conditions.

It is also recommended to use the Titan Chain Adjusters, # TCMA2, with this set of tire chains. The adjusters are made of rubber and help maintain the tension of tire chains.

According to the 2017 Toyota Tundra Owner's Manual, page 246-247, Toyota recommends only using tire chains on the rear axle of the Tundra. I do not have any info that contradicts the manufacturers recommendation. All I can tell you is if you decided to use front tire chains and something happens that damages your vehicle, Toyota may not warranty any repair.
