Question

Question:

2002 Ford f250 powerstroke. Not lifted, but extra leaf springs to easily accomodate 315 75r16. Manual says class s only, but I can use non-class s in rear correct? Like the pewag ladder chains?

I cannot say it's okay to use tire chains that are not Class S if your owner's manual specifically says to use Class S tire chains, no. I know you're going to be very mad at me but I have to go by what the owner's manual says, as I cannot tell people otherwise. The designation isn't just for height on tires, it is also for the inside on the tires, as a link too large can interfere with brake lines and other braking functionality.

So I have to recommend only using Class S tires for your 315/75-16 tires, the Titan Chain # TC2337.

Please also use tensioners # TCMA3.

Twist link chains offer excellent traction in deep snow and some are even rated for mud. They provide decent traction on ice, and since they have rounded edges ride quality isn't too bad. V-Bar chains are similar but have better grip on ice. For…

From the sound of your question, I assume you meant the #PW3029C instead of "TC3029C." Also, it sounds like you have size 275/70-18 tires on your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty (single rear wheel). Per the Ford user's manual, I recommend…
