Does anybody know if the any other size chain will work for an R4 size R15-19.5?

Depends on if you're willing to modify them. 15-19.5 is a very common R-4 tire size.
Did tirechains.com have any other types of chains in that size? 2-link ladder chains might work for you. Also, if your drive is asphalt or concrete, you might want to reconsider the v-bars.

All gravel road...mostly mud right now. TireChains.com has been out of stock right now. Been checking back and hoping that I get an order in before the next big snow. Here's a picture of my driveway of an attempt of scraping the snow.

And that's only half way up the driveway!!!

Would a ladder style chains work good enough to pass over the V-bars for my driveway?

TB1529 - How have you dealt with the driveway in years past? If it were me I'd stick it, place the order for the V-Bar, if they come in this year great. If not then you will be prepaired for next winter. Just my 2 cents. Which now days might be worth a wooden nickel

I was in the same boat your in, last year. I did not get my chains till April. That being said, The chains were great, and the price was right. I went with the Duo, style. You might get lucky, but I would not count on getting those chains in the next three months.

The ladders would be better then no chains, but I'd suggest you go with wedge40's advice to go with what you have this winter and pick up the v-bars come Spring.
If you do go with those ladder chains, the 2-links would be better then the 4 link (with that sloped drive) and learn to use your brakes for steering (as well as the 4WD, if you have it).

If you are determined to get chains, don't put it off too long. Reckon they'll be out of stock pretty soon.

The cheapest place I've found this year for simple 2 and 4 link chains is Amazon....especially with the free shipping.
