Question:

Hi, I need a pair of tire chains for my 2022 Ford Transit 250 Class B conversion van. I am running 245 75/16 tires on it with a lift kit. Ive purchased Titan Diamond chains for other vehicles in the past and like them. Im looking at the TC2524 chains. I live in Lake Tahoe, so I need good traction in deep snow. The owners manual says to install the chains on the rear wheels. I have about 3/4inch clearance between the rear tire and wheel well - see photo. Will this chain fit, and do I have enough clearance? Thanks

Thanks for the information and pic Laine. The Titan Chain Snow Chains item # TC2524 are indeed the correct size for your 245/75R16 tires. However, you're not working with much clearance on those larger tires. I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Chains item # TC2323 instead.

The Titan Chain Snow Chains item # TC2323 are S class chains with links that are only 3.7mm thick. The Titan Chain Snow Chains item # TC2524 use links that are 5.5mm thick. The thinner links will still give you traction in the snow while ensure you won't cause any damage to your fenders or brake lines.

The Titan Chain Snow Chains item # TC2323 offer excellent traction in both snow and ice. The diamond pattern offers a smoother more comfortable ride. They also have the built in chain tensioners, which ensure the chains stay tight on your tires.

How much snow are you expecting up in Lake Tahoe this season and have you already gotten any? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
