Rear only for me 2020 Tundra Anti lock's, I believe clearance , on the fronts is why Not worth wrecking it IMO If it’s that snowy I take the FJ Go with what your manual says |

You have to really check when buying these days. I would think wheel spacers is the only way. Then your tires will stick out a bit further --- End quote --- OP didn't specify 4WD, so I assume 2WD. |

Weird that it says no chains given they are ok on my 2024 Chevy 3500 duramax. Most of the time it’s due to clearance and anytime you change tire size you have to self verify if they will fit or not. It’s usually pretty safe to run cable chains at a slow speed even if they say no chains but if you run them fast (15-30mph) you’re going to cause a lot of damage. In a heavy duty truck I wouldn’t waste your time with light duty or cable chains if you’re going to be towing with it. Make sure your new tires leave room for real chains otherwise just leave it parked if you need to tow in the snow. And DOT doesn’t care if the manual says no chains. If they are required, you either put them on or get a ticket and you have to carry them in winter regardless. |

I don’t need them for the dot since I’m 4wd with traction tires. A sloped road in the Swakane in the snow and ice is a different story all together! |
