Question:
I have the Hankook F19 7.5R16LT trailer tires on my toy hauler and am kicking the idea of hauling it to a hunting trip. If I wanted to get some chains to fit these tires to help in some mud/ice/snow conditions, can you recommend some that would fit?

Expert Reply:
We do have some tire chains that should fit the 7.5R16LT tires on your trailer, however there are no tire chains that fit that specific tire size. The tire size 235/85-16 will have a very similar overall diameter and width. This means that chains for a 235/85-16 tire should fit the tires on your trailer.
If you're just wanting plain chains then the Titan Chain # TC2437 set is what I recommend. If you're wanting something that is a little easier to install and has a diamond pattern for a smoother ride you can use the Konig # TH01571265 set.
Tire chains aren't normally used on trailer tires so you'll want to make sure they won't be hitting anything on the back side of your tires (you should be okay) and that you can get them snug. It would be good to use tensioners like # TCMA2 for the Titan Chains, but the Konig have built-in tensioning so you'll be good to go there.
