Question:

Snow cables for 2017 jeep wrangler? 225/75r 17 tires need cables not chains...

asked by: Bob J

Expert Reply:

For your 2017 Jeep Wrangler with 225/75R17 tires, your manufacturer recommends in your owners manual to only use tire chains on the rear tires. Jeep recommends only using Class S rated chains on some tires, but it doesn't specify your tire size.

If you want cable style chains, then I recommend the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair # TC2019 along with the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Light Trucks # TCMA2 to keep them tight.

If you are open to using chains over cables, you will get better traction and you can still be Class S compatible. The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2323. These chains have the integrated tensioner and require a minimum clearance of 1.46 inches between the top of the tire tread and wheel well and at least 0.59 inch between the inner sidewall and the Jeep itself.

If you want the very best option that provides the best traction and has absolutely no impact on the inner clearances of your Jeep, I recommend the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH02230K77. These self-tensioning chains have integrated ice-breakers and have a patented design for the limited clearance vehicles to provide the best traction.
