Question:
Im looking at the Glacier PLC 1138 for my 2006 Toyota Sienna 225/60 R17 tires. My tires are marked M+S and I was told to consider the next size up would that be the PLC 1142? I assume the 1142 set would be slightly longer? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Titan Chain, Tire Chain you referenced, part # TC1138 would be correct for your Mud + Snow (M+S) rated 225/60/17 tires on your 2006 Sienna.
An M+S rated tire is not any larger in diameter than a standard tire, the difference lies in the extra cuts or sipes incorporated into the tread design itself.
I would also recommend the rubber adjusters, part # PW100. The adjusters will provide constant tension to the chains.
Before ordering, be sure to read and abide by any procedures or prohibitions regarding tire chain use that might be mentioned in your owners manual.
