Will Glacier Emergency Tire Chains Fit 265/75-16 Tires

Question:

I have a question on Glacier Emergency V-Bar Snow Tire Chains for Heavy Trucks . I already have full v-bar chains for extended use but they are such a pain to put on just to get unstuck if plowing or something. I saw these emergency chains and they seem they would be so quick to put on for just quick use. They say for heavy trucks and I dont see any sort of fitment. There was a review of someone using them on an S-10. I have a full size truck running 265/75R16 on aluminum rims with good size pass through holes for the strap. Just wondering what part number to order to wrap around a tire of that size.

For your 265/75-16 tires, you would need to use # PW6081 for a single chain. These chains fit on 15 to 18 inch rims. These chains are for emergencies and not extended use. For normal chain driving, be sure to use the full set of chains you have.
