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.

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.

For riding in snow (not ice - yikes!), the skinnier tire the better. I've ridden my 28mm Conti 4-Seasons in a slushy mix before, and they handled pretty well. I think mostly because they're very narrow for 28's...

My toro snowblower is much older. Look on the side of your tire for the size of the tire. From there, order the size that fits the tire size. I took the size to my local places for a set of chains and Amazon was more reasonable. So I ordered from them!

Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your snow thrower parts. The chains we sell are designed for inflatable style tires, and not recommended for solid rubber tires. Sorry we could not assist you this time around.

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

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.

I really cannot say. The first set of chains I bought were wrong and it cost to send back...heavy. I believe I got it right the second time. I checked and cross checked on tire sites and such. I have yet to have to use them but feel sure I got a good set. This may be a helpful site http://www.tirerack.com/

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.

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

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 �

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.

Hi Morgan, please visit www.thule.com and use our snow chain fit guide to find the appropriate size for you! You will need the specific tire size found on the side of your vehicles tires. Thanks!

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.

These chains were for a snowblower...and they help somewhat keeping the snowblower from bogging down. That is all I can tell you. They are tire chains, but only for the snowblower, not a vehicle.

A pair is for TWO TIRES on a snow blower or small tractor. I purchased a pair of these chains and they seem to be well made.
