Snow chain recommendation?

Big Red needs some chains. 315/70R17.
On my ‘95 with 40” mil tires I ran semi chains I got free somewhere. It went good. In years past I had some on the 285s on the 7.3 Ford and they would come off if tires spun pulling people out. Don’t want that again…
Thanks

I've only had one set years ago before I had a 4x4. They had the ice cleats on them. They would go just about anywhere. I had them mounted on an extra set of wheels and half worn tires. I found it easier to change wheels than try to put the chains on the car. It was also easier to let some air out of the tires, then put the chains on and snug them up, then air the tires back up. They were good and tight and didn't slip that way.

I should mention they need to be relatively low profile to clear fenders, I don’t think V bars would be good.

Get some of them automatic chains.

I’d say some 32 or 36” saw chain should do nicely!

3/8" or .404" ?
Chisel or semi chisel?
Full comp, semi skip or full skip?
What oil?

Asking for a friend.

Full comp semi chisel .404 for more grip, dunked in Amsoil @ 100:1 every 100 miles.

Cool, thanks!

Running wide tires, you might need a wider chain, instead of a traditional ladder chain:
