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 also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

NO!!!! They will not!!!! These will NOT fit your tires. Find the right sized ones. ake ALL the numbers match and the additional numbers on these chains mean they will not fit your application. Don't waste your money.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Those tires are good for all seasons. I bought my tires one year ago and those are the same. No wearing out. And i know a friend that he bougth his tires 3 years and still the same. I use those with a truck that has snow plow. My tires are for pasanger vehicle and star with the letter p 265.if u have a truvk i will recond to buy tires for truck or LT.

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.

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 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!

Look at the size of the tires on your snowblower - it is on each tire and it should be in your manual. Then check the size indicated for these chains; it is 410-3500-6. Previous responses indicated that the answer is no.

My guess is these chains will fit if you are prepared to cut them to fit the size of you wheel... I bought them to improve the traction of my Ariens 5520 snowblower... the tire size on my snowblower is 13x4.00-6 which is among the sizes these chains are specified. To make the chains fit properly I had to cut off five links of length (including two cross members). This is no big deal, but if you do not have a bolt cutter, it will probably be very challenging...I also bought the QG20030 (small) chain tightener but it also was too big for my 13 inch wheel...so I used only the (orange) hooks with a small bungee cord and that solved the problem...

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

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

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!
