strap on tire chains for 37s?

I think I already know the answer but does anyone know of any strap on tire chains for 37 12.5 r20? They make regular ol tire chains for 37s but I want something that can be put on and taken off quickly and easily. I know true tire chains are more durable and better overall but I need something for winter to just get out of my driveway then take back off. I plan on getting a set of 18s next summer because I don't like 20s but I was thinking since these have a smaller sidewall height and more clearance for the brakes they would be good for these type of chains. These say they fit up to 315mm width (12.4") but like every other set I've seen they're cheap chinese stuff

 

If it's for ice, I had good experience with tire socks, had run a set on wife's 4runner, it would drive up on a steep hill that's just pure ice without too much problem.

only issue is I think they only made them to cover up to 33" tires, not 37s, I haven't see 37 tire socks, if they have them I'd buy them too.

Oh wow, that's surprisingly ok.

 

Seems like a pretty hard cost/benefit analysis to contemplate. Perhaps going smaller is an option.

 

I've never seen a strap-on style chain that holds up on a 37. They're fine for a passenger car in an emergency, but with that much weight and torque you'll shred them. For driveway use maybe, but don't expect them to last more than a few uses

 

I figured as much. sometimes I'll wake up to go to work with 3 ft of snow so I don't think snow socks would help. normally I just air down the tires and sometimes winch my way out but I thought maybe strap-on chains were a viable option. think I just need to move... lol

 

Never tried these, but I wonder if they would work? Probably a hundred times easier than putting chains on.

 

vacation days or comp time? Can you build up some comp time during good weather? Watch the forcast and stay in hotel a few nights? Surely there are options.

 

I have these for mud. One must go sloooow!

 

I used to have that same problem back when we lived in Colorado, I put a plow on my old 4runner and just leave parked in the driveway with tires chained up ready to go all winter so I could hop in and plow early morning before work if needed.

 

This does not exist. Tire chains are universally a huge pain in the ass. Get an extra set of wheels and keep chains on them because it is easier to remove and install 24 lug nuts than to have to crawl under your vehicle several times to attach and then re-tighten chains. You aren't going anywhere in 3 feet of snow.

 

These are for ice. They will not help in accumulated snow.

 

I do have a 4runner on 35s just no plow lol. I have a big ass snow blower but the way my driveway is a snow plow isn't really viable. downhill to a loop surrounded by trees and a creek. I make it every year one way or another but was hoping for a more convenient "quick fix" if such a thing existed.

 

I'll look into those thanks!

 

Yeah... I can usually blow the snow but the end of the driveway's up hill and often times I either need a little speed to get up or winch off a tree when it's bad. I may experiment with the strap ons but like you said tire chains are tire chains and are a pain.

 

That’s why I run 35s and not 37s, you can get studded Nokian Hakkas in 35” and or studded duratracs. Possibly in 37” studded is an option. Putting chains or anything else on and off sucks. Nokians and 4wd and you can climb trees.

 

Damn I'm glad I dont have to deal with this in South Texas!!!
But when it does snow or get iced up the city pretty much comes to a stand still.
No one around here knows how to drive in conditions like that.
The Wife had borrowed Her Dads station wagon while Her Truck was in the shop and we got hit with an ice storm.
You couldnt even get the damn thing off the curb.
There was just enough of a slope to keep it stuck there.
And obviously you're not going to go out and buy tires or chains for something that only happens once every five or ten years.
It becomes a day off and we just hang out at the house and watch the Dogs slip and slide everywhere when the go out to do their business.
I still cant believe these short haired Dogs come from Germany!!
They're definitely not cut out for cold weather!!!

 

Thanks for that, I have been looking for chains that will clear my tires to the UCA with 37’s

Anyone else use these? Just curious if they actually work and what would keep them from coming off.
