Question:

I have a 2017 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with LT255/75R17C BSW off road tires. I found myself in a situation in the mountains where I could not continue on a snow packed trail because of a fallen tree across the road. I didnt have a chain saw so I attempted to go around the end of the tree. Unfortunately the area around the end of the tree was sloped. I tried to go around but I keep sliding into the end of the tree. Do you recommend chains for off road conditions? If so, what type? As I was reading about your chains the said on road conditions. Can they work in an off road condition??

Expert Reply:

For off-road situations like what you mentioned your best solution is a set of Mud Service Tire Chains like the part # TC2439 which are a confirmed fit for your tire size of 255/75R17. These will give you the best possible traction in deep snow or mud.

The Titan chains part # TC2326 would give you much better traction than no chains at all but they have lower clearances so if the plan would be to use them in super deep snow the Glacier set would have the advantage.
