I am looking for Pewag Snox that will fit my 2008 GMC Yukon XL. The tires size is 265/70R17. When I check the charts, that appears to be the one size not listed? Thanks!

The reason you did not see the 265/70R17 tire size is because it likely is not as common as the tire sizes listed for your 2008 GMC Yukon XL. For your 265/70R17 tires you can use pewag Brenta-C 4X4 Snow Tire Chains - Square Link - 1 Pair # PWXMR82V. This is a really nice tire chain setup that has a built-in chain tensioner, so you will not have to buy a separate tensioner. It offers a really simple installation process which you can see in the video I attached for you. Keep in mind these are not class S compatible.

If you need class S compatible chains then you will need to use pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair # PWRSV82. This has an even simpler installation process than the # PWXMR82V tire chains. There is a really nice built-in tensioner that is easy to use which you can see in the video I attached for this chain set. You will want to check your vehicle's manual to determine if tire chains can be used on front or rear tires, and if you need the class S chains.

Hey Kris, yes the Konig Commercial Truck Tire Chains #th01571267 does fit your tire size of 265/70-17 and the fact the tires have a more aggressive tread pattern will not be an issue. Are BF Goodrich KO2 All Terrain Tires pretty loud? My parents had…

Answer 5

I do have tire chains that are designed to fit a 265/70-17 tire but as a 265/65-17 tire is 13mm shorter than a 265/70-17 tire, most tire chains designed to fit one will not work with the other. To be certain, you will want to check with the…
