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!

The ones I purchased are on Carlisle turf-saver tires and they worked great this past week when we had a foot of snow. They performed just as well as the chains I used last winter but don't leave any marks like the metal chains did.

Hi Jeff, I don't have a lot of experience with these tires in the snow. They are on my Daughter's car who is away at school and the car has not been out in the snow this year.Sorry I could not be more help.

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.

Not sure but maybe. I own a 10 hp 26 wide Sno-Devil brand machine sold by Menards and tires on it are called 4:10 x 3:50 x 6. I was able to install the chains but just barely. The tires have big knobs so I had to deflate the tires, and use 2 wrench tools to force them on.(very hard) When done it looked like 1 cross link was missing, but they did help a lot in the snow which we had a lot of. I've installed chains before and these were "too hard" to install sized as they were. These were too small. If they had 2 or 3 more links, and 1 more cross chain they would be fine. If I were to buy again, I'd choose the next bigger size and plan to cut off whatever was too much. Not sure but maybe.

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 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.

Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your snow blower parts. Chain sizes directly correspond to the numbers on the sides of the tire. Please match these numbers in order to obtain the chains that will fit your tires.

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

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.

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.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

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

I bought that model chains based on the owners manual. I have not verified they fit . I live in So. California and only have them if I make a trip into snow country.

Since there are "treads", snow does build up in them. No different than the soles of a shoe, really. Not sure about icy conditions, as we avoid them.

yes - these chains are excellent. i was very frustrated the first time putting them on, but once i figured it out it is insanely easy. just do a dry run when it is not freezing outside and snowing on you!! i have a front wheel drive car, vw diesel, and i throw em on - takes about 2 minutes, and make it up anything no problem!

As dannyffz said, you need to check the tire wall. Then you can look at this website http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction/tirechains and put your tire info and then select "Z Series" under vehicle category to see what type is recommended. Hope this helps.
