Snow 2025r radial tire chains

rlcowder · Dec 13, 2018

I have a 2018 2025r with the new R3 radial tires size 280/70 R16. I need some tire chains but I cannot find any manufacturer that has them for that size tire. My local dealer has come up with nothing as well. Anyone out there know of a supplier? I messaged several online chain makers and none of them can even make me a set until spring. Any help is appreciated.

I don't have a good answer, but you too can be an online chain maker. Buy a set that's "close" and one of these? WESTWARD Chain Nose Tire Chain Repair Pliers, TPR Grip Handle, Jaw Length':' 38mm'/'15mm - 45FF36'|'45FF36 - Grainger

I wouldn't swear to it but a 9.5-16 tire chain looks like a good bet.
or chains for a skidsteer 10 or 11.00-16 or 16.5.

Made my own for the 4300. Calculated the length of the side chains, and the length of the cross chains. Bought the two different chain lengths and the connector parts needed.. and got what I wanted..
The WESTWARD pliers look like they would be very helpful if making your own, or modifying some existing chains.

Not a tire expert but the sae equivalent should be a 31x11. Deere p/n pm2229r chains out of their light truck section show fitting a 31x11.5-16. I think as well that the 280/70r16 is only an inch taller than a 245/75r16. May or may not be helpful.
