Expert Reply:
I went by a 2013 Chevy Express Van and put it through our fit guide to find chains. There are two tire size options listed, 245/70-17 and 245/75-16. I will provide some recommendations for each size for you.
First for the 245/70-17 if you plan on infrequent use then going with a set of cables, # PW3010C, with rubber adjusters # PW99 would be the way to go. Cables are great if you seldom need chains and/or live in an area where chains are not required by law.
For frequent use and/or if you live in an area where chains are required then you want something that is going to last a long time and provide good traction. For that you want square link chains for Pewag, # PWE3210SC. These chains will last a long time and they are corrosion resistant.
For the 245/75-16 tires, for cables you can use # PW2021C and the same PW99 rubber adjusters. And for square link chains use # PWE2221S.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for the use of chains and for any specific restrictions or recommendations. I have included a link to our FAQ article on tire chains for you.
