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 !

I have used my chains a total on once. I did not use any adjustors but then again I only had to get out of a snow/slush/mud hole about 10 inches deep... I walked right out after putting them on and took them off about 6 feet later as we're not allowed to drive on the streets with them, if the snow is already plowed.

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.

As long as they fit. I used them on my solid tire Simplicity. They worked very well and made my snow blower usable.

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 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.

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.

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.

According to Security chain website for that size tire, they say these options:QG2237 (standard twistlink chains)QG2837 (standard twistlink chains with v bar welded on)ZT835 (cable Z chains)SZ468 (cable Z chains)

If you wanted to put snow chains on a car using the Rapid Jack, it should work great. You couldn't change a tire on a car using the Rapid Jack.

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.

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 have a 4x4 diesel with 285/75R16 tires and the chains fit with room to spare for a wider tire that you have. I have not had a chance to actually drive on them seeing as how I have 4x4 with an aggressive tread pattern for the snow.

Tire chains are sold based on the tire size, not snow blower brand. Look on the side of the tire for the size, then look for chains for that tire size. The chains do provide an added level of traction, especially where snow has packed down but they must fit the tires properly. With tire chains, one size does NOT fit all. Hope this helps.

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.

No, they would be pretty dangerous in ice or rain. These tires are very narrow with the center being pretty much a slick. I love these tires but when it is wet I ride my mountain bike with Serfas Drifter 29X2.0 tires. This is a great tire in the rain and has a street, not a mountain, tread. I leave my road bike with the Vittoria's at home.
