Question:

will this fit 215/65/r15 I have only seen chains that fit the 215/60 or 70 what would be the difference for the 65. thanks I have a 2000 nisson frontier. It has a very light rear end. I cant even drive on wet grass. I have moved to n. georgia where it snows and I deliver pizzas. Will this chain work for me or do you suggest another. Also, should I put sand bags in the back to weigh it down for better traction? thanks.

I do have snow tire chains available that will fit your 215/65-15 tire size, but the item you selected, Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW2016C, will NOT fit your 215/65-15 tire size.

Before purchasing snow tire chains, you will want to check with your vehicle owners manual to see if it is acceptable to use snow tire chains.

For your 2000 Nissan Frontier, with 215/65-15 tires, the Thule Tire Chains, part # TH01221095, would be a good option. The Thule # TH01221095 chains comes included with a storage container, kneeling mat, gloves and instructions.

You will want to mount the snow tire chains on the powered drive wheels of your Frontier, in your case the rear wheels. Adding weight to the rear of the truck by using sand bags would be a good option, but you do not want to over do it, only a couple should do the trick.

I have linked an FAQ on tire chains.
