Ok, Washington is starting to have cars pile up left and right from our recent snow storm, not to mention all the ice now. I have a 2004 fx4, 6" lift, sitting on 35x12.50x18 toyo's. The *** end of the truck slides around, and even with sand in the back it just adds weights.

Does anyone know of a good site to find snow chains, or has anyone got snow chains for my size tires, if so WHERE DID you find them..? For my tire size I'm having a hard time.. Need advice....?

 

I got the part number from SCC's website.

they make chains for all sizes of tires... are you runnin toyo mt's? if so thats your main problem, you need something with TONS of siping.

 

Hit up your local Les Schwab

 

Ya dude. I would recommend a good winter tire. M/T tires are not made for heavy (or any) winter driving. Chains are going to wear out a tire quicker, you can't go very fast with them on, and if they get worn out and break you will have a s*** load of damage to your truck. I've driven 5 winter here in Northern Alberta (that's in Canada) through some pretty crazy winters, and i rarely go into a slide unless i mean to. And I only have all-season tires, not even full blown winter tires. Do yourself a favor and just buy some good winter tires.

 

Same here, I always run regular old A/T's and never have a problem. The more siping, the better. I drove a truck with Cooper's that had solid tread blocks and they were horrible.

Although with my 95 F150 I ran 35x12.5R15 Interco Trxus MT's. They surprised the hell out of me in the winter, very good traction on hardpack and ice, and in deep snow they rocked.

But I still prefer a good A/T.

 

Were you in 4 wheel drive?

 

Go to any major tire dealer or truck (semi's) store and they should be able to help. Have you looked into studding them?

 

Those tire are way too big and you're floating on the snow and aren't able to get grip on the asphalt or hard pack below.

Get a good set of real winters.

AT and MT and evene M+S are ****ty in real snow condition.

I live in montreal and I had M+S for one winter and never again.

 

Wide tires suck in snow. You want a thinner tire which won't float. With your lift...snow tires will probably look stupid but this is a case of functionality over form.
