Hi folks,

Planning a Xmas trip in the mountains and wanted to have snow chains on standby. Read thru the forums and noticed that chains aren't preferred due to clearance. Since I have an aftermarket setup wanted to get some thoughts on what's worked out there for other Gen 2 folks running a similar setup.

chains wont work unless you have aftermarket wheels with more backspace..tire will be too close to upper control arm.

that being said, i have no experience with tire chains, but thats the reason they say not to run them..

Wouldn’t run chains the tolerance is way too tight & depending how many miles on the suspension & how new the tires are you can get rubbing in front @ full lock in certain scenarios w/ NO mods or chains.

Can you add studs to the nittos?

I run studded Nokian hallapellitas (spelling?) dedicated winter tire in stock size 315/70/R17…& since I’ve been doing so I honestly don’t even know what it’s like to be even remotely concerned about driving in winter conditions….full blown blizzard w/ snow dumping down & 7-10” of slush & snow already down? 70mph passing plows in 4HI, stomp on brakes & while the stopping distance is gonna be longer you won’t feel the ass end come around on ya.

Snow tires are great
