Chains 110 TLB tire chains

[ME83]

I know there are many months before Winter comes back around, but I like to be well prepared. Does anyone one here run tire chains on the rear tires of the 110 TLB? We tend to get a mix in winter storms where some will have some icing, and chains make a huge difference in winter. My concern is there is some room between the tires and fenders, but not a whole lot. With the fenders being plastic I don't think they will stand up to a tire chain hitting them for very long. I would prefer not to have to put wheel spacers on, but if that is my only option then I would.

I think you answered your own question, AK Fish has found the best solution so far.

If you use chains, just install some spring tensioners. They will pull all the slack out of them, so they should not hit the fenders unless you don't tighten them up.
I put them on my 2520 with R4's, and there is not much clearance, but they don't even move on the tires, so they'll never hit my fenders. I don't drive it super fast either, because I know the centrifugal force will make them WANT to go twords the fenders. I have driven it wide open in high range and they still never moved, but its just not brillant.

They are plastic fenders, it wouldn't take much for a chain to mess them up in a hurry.

Thank you for the link to AKFish's post, I will most likely end up getting the Bobcat spacers. I figured that would be my only option, the rims didn't look to be reversable.
