Helpful Expert Reply:

If you don't plan on using the snow tire chains very often, then I would go with Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains - Light Truck - 1 Pair # TC747DC. This is a cable design which is typically easier to install and use than chains, and they will be less likely to damage your vehicle if they happen to break. Rubber adjusters are included which will keep the cables tight on your truck's wheels. These are not recommended for heavy snow.

If you plan to use the tire chains often, especially in heavy snow, then I recommend Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2326. This chain design is heavier duty than the cables mentioned above. These do not require an adjuster as it has one built-in.

Both of these tire chain/cable setups are considered Class S-Compatible, which is required for some vehicles. I have attached demonstration videos to show you how to use and install these two products.
