Tire Chains for Mercedes Sprinter with Dually Tire Size 215/85R16  

Updated 12/07/2020 | Published 12/04/2020

Question:

HiI have a 2011 Airstream Interstate, built on a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 platform. It has dual wheels in the rear. Tires are 215/85R16. I was wondering if it is necessary to get chains made especially for dual tires, or if I could put a single chain on each of the outside rear tires? What would be your recommendation? I see you have 2 ladder chains for dual tires that would appear to fit my camper. They are close in price and I dont really know what the differences are. Also, do I need separate tensioners, or do they come with the chains? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

A lot of people have great luck with just putting a set of chains on the outside wheels of a dually setup like your Mercedes Sprinter but for the best traction having a set that covers both tires is the way to go.

The Titan set part # TC4219 fits your tire size of 215/85R16 and is a dually setup. It also comes with cam tensioners so rubber tensioners beyond that would not be needed. The part # TC4819 instead has a v-bar chain link which is a sharper setup that does better in icy conditions.
