Hey Bryan, your best option is going to be a set of tire chains part # TC2021 as there isn't a set of snow socks that fits your tire size. The # TC2021 is a great priced set of chains that will provide a lot better traction if ever needed over the Snow Socks so this will be for sure your best option. These actually cost less than the Snow Socks as well. Are you in a snowy area that requires tire chains kept with you?
