Will Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains Work On A 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4WD With 245/65R17 Tires  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Before buying snow tire chains or cables you will want to check your owners manual or with the Chevrolet dealer if you can install snow tire chains or cables on your 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4WD, or if there are any limitations.

The cable snow tire chains you will need for the 245/65R17 tire size is the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW1046. The set you reference, part # PW2014C, will not work on the 245/65R17 tire size.

If you can use cable snow tire chains on your TrailBlazer 4WD and are only using two cable snow tire chains you will want to install them on the drive wheels of your vehicle. On a 4-wheel drive vehicle they would go on the back.

I would also recommend the Glacier Rubber Adjusters for Class S Snow Chains, part # PW100. These adjusters keep constant tension on the cables, providing a tight, secure fit.

If you will be driving in extremely adverse road conditions, then I would recommend two sets of the # PW1046 chains, one for the front and rear tires. Remember that with a 4 wheel drive vehicle, going forward is usually less of a problem than stopping, so go slow, take it easy in turns and keep the distance between your vehicle and others as far as practical and you will get to your destination safely.
