Earlier on this forum (I think) I saw reference to truck tire chains for the 254/285 turf tires. I think they were 11:00 x 22.5. Is this correct? I can't seem to find that post. If that was the size, how well did they fit?

I have chains on my rear turf tires. I have a 224 that has the big tires like a 254 or 284. I don't have the specific chain size but they were for a set of 10R 22.5 truck (bus) tires. 10R 22.5 is same size basically as 9.00 R 20(one size is tube type, one tubeless). I got them for free and they fit pretty darn good I must say.
I have the fiberglass fenders which could be damaged due to close clearance between tire and fender if sloppily put on but if you get your chains tight to begin with you will have absolutely no problem. I use bungie cords for tensioners and they work well.
Great for icy conditions. Here is a pic from last year.
Edit: here are my turf tire sizes 11.2-20 rear, 26x7.50-12 front.
My ags were 9.5 x 24 rear, 6.00 x 16 front.

Hagar,
they were for the outer duals tires only thats why thet fit my Jinma rear tires well. If they had been the wide chains to fit both tires on each side then I would have had to shorten the cross links.
Some use chains for both duals and some just chain up the outer tires. On trucks its much easier to drive innertires up on a wood block and put the chains on the outer tires drive off and keep on trucking.
