Expert Reply:

While we do have some great off-road tire chains with V-bar studs, we do not have any that also have cam tighteners like the # PWH2821SC. This is because all tire chains with cam tighteners are not rated for off-road use due to the construction. However, the lack of cam tighteners will not affect the fitment of the chains as long as the chains are properly tightened.

For a great set of V-bar off road chains that fit your 35/12.5-17 tires, I strongly recommend using the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Wide Base Tires - Ladder Pattern # TC3831. Not only are these chains on-road and off-road compatible, they are specifically designed to bite deeper into deep snow and ice for extra traction. Even though they do not have cam tighteners, you can have the exact function if you use the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Adjusters # TCMA2. The tighteners take away the hassle of having to tighten your chains after each trip and provide you with a more snug fitment of the chains around the tires.

Since these chains come with a link thickness of 7 mm thick, it is always recommended to make sure that your wheel wells have enough clearance. The clearance is required in order to reduce the potential for damage to important components in the wheel wells. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows how to check for clearance.

As with all tire chains, we recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you are aware of the manufacturer's guidelines for tire chains.
