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!

Hi Kev, the fitments for the snowchains are based on tire size and the manufacturers recommendations which you can find in your manual. We would advise that you consult our buyers guide with your tire size to see if we offer any possible fits. Thanks!

you need your tire size,as my john deere l130 has bigger size tires than the new replacement for the l130. then do what Michael ritucci says in his answer. this is what I did . I just googled amazons snow chains then found out who made them and ? then I looked up their company and found their tire chart for their safety chains/snow chains.http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction/tirechains.............and bingo zingo there you are. then the tire chain part number should cross over on amazon's page for the ssc tire chains.

We didn't run bungee cords in the chains, we just used the tensioner that came attached to the chains and applied them tightly to the tires on our snowblower.

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.

well what i ended up doing was going ot the vulcan tire company site and finding the tire chains that fit my tires,then i took the part number and cross referenced it to the safety chain company's part number . their number was the same since vulcan tire company uses their product. then i simply went on amazon and typed in the part number. and ?pow it popped up right there. : ) the mistake i made was ordering the wrong part number the tire chains for a snow blower are qg0226 i think. the ones i needed were qg0266. my tires are 22x9.5x12.http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/chainsearch.cgi?size=22x9.50-12 well what i ended up doing was going ot the vulcan tire company site and finding the tire chains that fit my tires,then i took the part number and cross referenced it to the safety chain company's part number . their number was the same since vulcan tire company uses their product. then i simply went on amazon and typed in the part number. and ?pow it popped up right there. : ) the mistake i made was ordering the wrong part number the tire chains for a snow blower are qg0226 i think. the ones i needed were qg0266. my tires are... » Read More well what i ended up doing was going ot the vulcan tire company site and finding the tire chains that fit my tires,then i took the part number and cross referenced it to the safety chain company's part number . their number was the same since vulcan tire company uses their product. then i simply went on amazon and typed in the part number. and ?pow it popped up right there. : ) the mistake i made was ordering the wrong part number the tire chains for a snow blower are qg0226 i think. the ones i needed were qg0266. my tires are 22x9.5x12.http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/chainsearch.cgi?size=22x9.50-12 « Show Less

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.

According to the fitment chart, they will fit. I have not used my tire chains yet, just carried them "in case" but I've not been in enough snow to need them.

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.

John H. answer below is comprehensive, and they are definitely not a mountain bike tire, but I am planning to eventually replace them with a slightly more road less mountain oriented tread design in the hope of getting a lower rolling resistance.

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!

Yes they are rated for Mountain& snow. They dont have the snowflake symbol but they have M + S on the tire.

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 got the QG 2828, which is for more icy roads than snowy roads. It has "tits " on each link and would not advise running these on just snow! To answer your question, when you login to Amazon, serch the tire chains, and it should have a link somewhere on it so you can ciew tire sizes. If you live where the roads are icy, then yes, the QG2828 would be your ticket. Regular chains for the front. Cause 30MPH is the fastest you will be able to go with any chains. Any more questions, feel free to ask! Enjoy

I just went out in my 8 below zero garage and checked. The rims are plastic, and the tires are "balloon tires" not plastic wheels; they have air valves for refilling if they happen to get low. I still have 4-5 feet of snow on the ground, and I may not get the opportunity to use my spreader until May.Bob-North Smithfield, RI

I don't think studded tires would be good for it. As for snow it would depend on how much was on it and how close to the edges.
