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!

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.

Hi, the manufacturer claims these chains will fit a tire with a size of 235/60-18. If for some reason they do not fit, please return them for a full refund. Harriscos LLC

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.

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.

My tires are 4. 10/3.50x4 and the chains fit well with some slack. There are a couple of extra links so they could accommodate a slightly larger tire. On the packaging there are 2 sizes listed: 4. 10/3.50x4 and 3. 40/3.00x5. My guess is these will not fit your tire size.

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!

You would be better off with a tire with more tread. These tires are slicks for the most part with light tread on the sidewalls. I would consider cyclecross style tires or something that has a tread pattern designed for the winter.

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.

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.

I have a 24" Compact Ariens snowblower (I think the model is 920014) but it has 13"x4" tires. The chains fit just fine. I actually removed the tires and deflated them before putting on the chain, and that made it a lot easier. Then I re-attached, re-inflated, and tightened up the chains. They are a little loose, but work just fine and give great traction. I'm so glad I got them, they make all the difference. No more slipping and sliding up and down my hilly driveway!

Have you consulted your owners manual as it may properly address this. In mountainous areas such as Colorado tire chains are often a requirement when driving in the snow. As your all wheel drive system may have special requirement when using chains.

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.

Mahdee, if you go to the listing for this snow chain, at the bottom you'll see the words "Find The Right Tire Chains" it's a pdf that will show you what tires these chains will fit on. You need to know your tire size to do this.

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

I wasn't impressed with the Hankook and sent back. I reordered the Mastercraft Glacier Grip II Winter Radial Tire. They are studable and I had 2 of them studded. I liked so well that I ordered 4 more for my girlfriends car and studded 2 of them. We both commute 150 miles a day in opposite direction and live on top of a mountain. I don't worry about her getting stuck anymore. In short, the Glacier grip will get you where you want to go and back home better that any other I have tried and they wear good for a snow tread.
