Expert Reply:
Typically two sets of tire chains are recommended for AWD vehicles, but I recommend checking the owners manual for your van to make sure you can use 2 sets. Some vehicle manufacturers restrict vehicles to only 1 set, or sometimes do not recommend using tire chains at all. You will also want to check for other tire chains restrictions such as class size. Vehicles with limited wheel well clearance require Class S tire chains.
For your tire size, 245/75-16, we have a number of tire chain options, including the Titan Chain # TC2323 chains which are low profile Class-S compatible
I have also attached a link to all of the tire chains we offer for your tire size for you to check out. These chains do not include any tensioners, so you will want to pick up the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW99 as well.
We do have some tire chains that are rated for off-road and on-road use, but they are not Class S rated. For off-road capable chains, you could use the Titon Chain Mud Service Snow Tire Chains, # TC2439. I recommend using the rubber adjusters with these chains as well.
