Tire Chain Recommendations for a 285/75R17 Tire  

Updated 12/17/2013 | Published 12/16/2013



Question:

285x75x17 - What chains do I order? Can I use those two sets I have for 265x70x17? Many thanks,

Expert Reply:

You will need a different set of chains for your 285/75R17 than the set you used for your 265/70R17 tires.

I attached a page that has all of the confirmed chains that will fit your tire size, but I like theTitan Chain Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners # TC3829CAM as long as clearance is not an issue. These chains have built in cam tensioners to make installation easier.

If clearance is an issue and your owners manual says to only use Class S chains I would recommend the Titan Chain Diamond LT Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2335.

I attached a couple FAQ articles on show chains, but you need to consult your owners manual to determine if there are any restrictions on your vehicle for snow chains.
