Can these be used with snow tires? Or is there a different type of Z chains designed for snow tires? concerned tire damage w/ bigger tread

Absolutely !I have used several different applications of the Z chains both automotive and light truck.... With both; all season and winter tires. I have never experienced tire or wheel damage.The only difference I have experienced with the Super Z6 is it takes a little more patience during installation....knowing where to tug and pull......they fit closely so there is not a lot of "extra" slack to help with installation. Still takes less than 10 min. to install !

Chains are not designed for snow tires but for normal tires. However there should be no problem using them with snow tires. The law requires chains not snow tires when law enforcement stops you by roadside. The first mistake is to buy and use snow tires which gives the user a false sense of security. They don't work on ice at all. But the chains do!

Yes, comes with 2 chains. I bought a pair for my Snowblower. Fit well. For ease of installation I'd deflate the tires. Don't bother buying the rubber chain retainers.

I purchased WS1705 chains and could barely get them to fit on my P245/55R19 tires. I had to jack up the car and make sure every bit of slack was removed. This was done in my dry driveway. I hope I never have to do it in the snow on the road. Although this is not a direct answer to your question I hope it is useful.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall &#128531;

I us them on 20x9s on my Suburban, they work fine. Don't know about the offset, if the wheels are for that vehicle there should be no problem with the tires. Speedo might have changed by 1mph at 60. Still good after years of warm weather driving, but I use dedicated snow tires on original wheels in the winter. Probably have 50K miles on them and lots of tread left, but I have not really kept close track of which tires have how much mileage.

I have the same solid tires on mine and the chains fit and work fine. Could be the wrong size chains were sent in error.

I needed the same size but they sent the larger size. I also had ordered the chain tightners that worked to make the chains fit. I have them on my tractor now. Have not tried in snow or ice but have been using them for doing leaves. I didn't want to wait until it was 20 degrees and wet outside before putting them on. I think they will work fine as long as you buy chain tighteneres as well. I Alos bought regular chains as a backup.

This tire size works well on snow as they tend to bite better because they cut through it...hence the name "pizza cutters". WWII Jeeps had skinny tires as well and they got around just fine + were a prize when the Axis powers captured one.Easier on the braking system and less dead weight to carry around.Sipe these BFG MT KM2 33x10.5R15 tires and they stick even better, last longer by dissipating heat better and act like squeegees where ever they roll.

It's the tire size that matters, not the size of the snowblower. They will fit tires 1.3 x 5.00-6.

I would not put the chains on until I really needed them. Not sure how long they would last if you used them frequently. I only bought these chains because of travel from Washington to Colorado during the winter months. If I was driving in the snow on a daily basis, I would buy actual snow tires for the winter months. Good luck!

I would also recommend checking the online tire size recommendations. I believe these chains will be too large for your tires, even with the tighteners.

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

I had the same problem and found out I had the wrong size chains. I needed them immediately so I had to buy from a local dealer. Amazon was great and took back the ones that did not fit. I followed the sizing instructions on Amazon website and they were still to small for my tires.

Yes these chains will work. It is very typical for manufactures of tires to leave out decimal places on the product itself. These chains are designed for walk behind snow throwers and will provide the traction needed in deep snow.

I have used my chains a total on once. I did not use any adjustors but then again I only had to get out of a snow/slush/mud hole about 10 inches deep... I walked right out after putting them on and took them off about 6 feet later as we're not allowed to drive on the streets with them, if the snow is already plowed.

Hi there - these K-Summit models are designed for vehicles that cannot typically accept snow chains due to clearance issues and manufacturers' recommendations. These were engineered to fit where none of the stands types of snow chains are available. As you can see from the design, these are unlike other snow chains, and therefore are in a league of their own. Thanks!
