A Look at Truck Tire Chains
Truck tire chains can be purchased for everything from a pickup
truck to an 18-wheeler. Drivers can find a chain to fit just
about any need, spanning every size and style, and desired
performance.
Single highway truck chains are recommended for highway use on
trucks, buses, and RVs. For trucks that see more off road action
than highway time, single V-Bar reinforced traction chains are
recommended. This type of chain is available for light trucks,
heavy trucks, busses, and RVs.
Of course, studded truck tire chains are always a good choice
for off-roading. Drivers should first make sure that studs are
legal in their state. If they are, studded cross chains provide
one of the best options for off-road traction. Single studded
truck tire chains can be purchased in 6, 7, or 8 mm. Dual triple
studded tire chains are also available in 6, 7, or 8 mm.
For dual tires that are more accustomed to highway driving, dual
triple truck, bus, and RV chains are recommended. The V-Bar is
also available for dual tires. For vehicles with minimal
clearance between dual wheels, dual mount chains are built
without a center chain.
Finally, wide base chains are available for vehicles that have
minimal clearance between wide base tires. Whether driving a
light truck, heavy duty truck, bus, or RV, truck tire chains are
available for every condition.
