Front tire chains question

[Woodchuck]

I've thought about getting tall skinnys for my 16 Colorado with an offset so I can chain it up.   

Would wheel spacers accomplish the same thing and be a lot cheaper?

watch your fenders for turning clearance.

Other than stock size tires will likely create issues for abs, traction control, and tpms systems without reprogramming.

Break Out the Tire Socks!  Perfect for low clearance ...

The auto socks worked for my daughter driving around town in Auburn. We drove around the town without them and then I had her put them on and drive the same route and I am happy with the way they handle the slick roads. I do not know how well they will work off road but for icy compact snow and ice in town they did just fine.

They might get ripped up off-road ... chains probably best.
Glad to hear they worked out for your daughter around town.

Yes, best performance on compact snow and ice... avoid the "slushy" asphalt roads if possible ... may wear holes. 

Tried talking a buddy into them and unfortunately he paid the price on ice in Woodinville.

Some people "my buddies" critique the "tire socks" and call them "axle wrappers" and claim have seen one or two wrapped around an axle ... I have never seen this with an "auto sock", nor experienced in all the years have been running them ... if correctly sized and fitted, shouldn't be an issue... frankly don't see how is possible with the sock design.  Something to be aware of though ... feel free to give feedback if run into this situation.

I have a set of four 1 1/4" thick wheel spacers that will allow you to run front chains on a first gen. Tundra ,Sequoia and I think some Tacomas.
If anyone's interested message me

Thanks for the input everyone. Been off the internet  for awhile, sorry for the lateness. My truck is a 2004 Chevy 2500hd. It’s kind of irritating that we can’t put front chains on so many trucks these days.

Dont do it on a newer Tacoma
just sayin
look in your book

Whats the deal? To lazy to look it up?

[MADMAX]

Not me
I looked in my book I talk to Schwab and I talk to discount tire and they all said don’t run chains on the front there’s not enough clearance because of your antilock brakes
