Security Chain Company 1060256 Max Trac Snow Blower Garden Tractor Tire Chain

Easy to instal, really good price. But this product needs a size chart. So.. model 1062655 will fit on tires 20x8.00x8 and 20x8.00x10 . I installed them on my 42 in Craftsman lawn tractor along with security chain model QG20030 (quick grip small tire traction chain rubber tightener, wich I got on Amazon as well)

So I sifted thru many questions that were asked and found a few on a pretty standard, snowblower type/sized tire 4.80-8NHS so I ordered them yesterday and got them today!!! Good thing cuz we have a big storm coming tomorrow so install took a little fenagling but they do fit perfectly as noted in the pics. We already had snow so I gave em a test run and i gotta say why did i wait so long.... Chains are the way to go!!! So if you have different sized tires jus go thru the drop down list and match up as closely as possible. You can always remove extra chain to make fit but you cannot add. Also a lil side note drop the air pressure down, it'll make install a little easier. Hope this helps, specially on the 4.80-8NHS tires cuz they fit perfectly!

this much i know... there is way too much modifying required to get these to fit my 14x5.00x6 tire (it's many links too big). there are 5 different size tires for this application per the manufacturers chart and my tire is right in the middle of said chart. surely there is a better way, or a closer fit, than what arrived to my door. if I was buying again for my application, i'm not going with this brand. a link or two of modification, is expected but not like this went. i also aired down my tires and up to maximum in my attempts to a proper fit. pro tip; chains should not fall into the lugs/recesses of your tires and bungee tighteners are for the birds... make/buy your own with hardware store rings and springs.

This review is for the 1062655 chain - 20x8x10 install on a cub cadet LT 1050 lawn tractor. Getting the chains on was tougher than it looks on the you tube videos, but I think its because they install them very loosely on those videos. I was able to install both chains on the lawn tractor in about 30 mins by letting most of the air out of the tires, installing the latch link to the 2nd link and using pliers to get the link hooked. Once I re-inflated them, they fit nice and tight and did not need the extra tensioners at all. The chain I received is a Peerless Chain Max-Trac tire chain. 4 link spacing. I ran them in about 6 inchs of wet snow and they did not do very well, on packed snow they were great. In hindsight I should have spent the extra money to get the 2 link spacing as I think that might work better for my application. The need for driving in snow is to pull a wagon full of wood from the barn to our house for the fireplace. I was able to do it with my son pushing in one spot of deeper snow where it got stuck. All in all they are very good quality chains and I am happy with the excellent price.

These chains were a bit tricky to install, as are most chains, but fit nicely and make all of the difference in traction on snow and ice. Not sure whether I needed chain tensioners but, distrusting the rubber bands with the plastic hooks, I picked up some springs at my local Ace Hardware to prevent possible slippage on the tires. The chains fit well enough that this might not have been necessary, but I would rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them. By the way, one of my concerns when shopping for chains was the minimal clearance between the inside edge of the tires and the body of the snow blower. The links on these chains are small enough that there is no problem with clearance, but are still large enough to provide plenty of traction. Need I add that the price is right on these bad boys?

Seems like a quality chain but the listing is very misleading. There are no detailed specifications and listing and it seems that Amazon groups all of the reviews for all of the products together. So there are people making comments saying that fit 18 inch tires perfectly yet the package I received in the mail is for very very small tires like a really small snowblower definitely not a lawn tractor. The company should listed under scription exactly what tires it fits

I put this on a White tractor that was basically a lawn mower only. It has pretty mild turf tires. I had dropped the deck and was trying to use it as a yard mule to pull a small trailer but it often sat and spun in leaves and wet grass and snow. I put these on it and it's now unstoppable. I can take it through ditches and up fairly steep climbs and over small branches and limbs and it doesn't flinch or slip. Pretty cheap solution. Very pleased so far.

These are good chains for the money. I have deep treads in my tires and I had to really fiddle with them a lot to install them in order to keep the cross chains out of the gaps in the rubber. Once I got them tight they stayed put and worked well. I used utility wire and bungee cords to tighten 'em up real nice. ;-)You would think my deep tread tires wouldn't need chains but after a lot of struggling and swearing during my first use it became obvious that on hard packed snow they will just spin around and the machine won't move. Get the chains. You'll have a much easier time with your snowblower.

To be able to at least put a sizing table in the description is not hard nor super high tech! I had the same size tires on my lawn tractor that the first Q/A had addressed and affirmed that this part was the correct size (at least at the time of my order). I got it in short order but found that it was a tire about half the diameter and half the width. Now, a little too late, I understand that the Q&A's are the same for all part numbers.To make it less complicated, the sizing table be overall height (tire diameter) and width. The typical tire size coding is used to match a rubber tire to the right rim, which has nothing to do with selecting chains. Maybe it is more complicated than that but at least it would be an easy confirmation that the chains are compatible.For now I am returning the ones I ordered and waiting for what I think are the right sized chains.Edit 2021-04-12:I did finally get the right size and the chains worked fine.However, I keep getting questions from other amazon users whether the chains are compatible with their tires. This is really silly--the supplier should PROVIDE THE INFORMATION IN THE ADD!!! At least add the link to their website that has the sizing. It's not like Amazon provides old technology or limited amount of space for product information--how difficult or limiting is adding a 'chain sizing' internet link to their description? I won't give this more stars, as the product should deserve, until they fix this.

Truthfully, a rating of MINUS 10 would apply across the board here. WRETCHEDLY POOR "service"!!!Tire chains for our walk-behind snowblower.Item shipped was at least twice the size of what Amazon order page specified. Also had only 1/2 of the cross chains shown/specified on order page. Am VERY afraid replacement will be same as what I'm returning & I CANNOT find any contact point useful for pointing out to Amazon the HUGE differences between what I needed/ordered & what I received.1st pic shows tire & size ordered for; 2nd shows an original tire chain we wanted to replace still on it's tire. 3rd pic shows the part we ordered incl sizes of tires fitted & a good pic of how many cross chains comprise the shipped item. 4th pic shows an original chain compared to the Amazon item. Slightly different you say?Really, REALLY want this resolved BEFORE a perfectly useless replacement shows up here.

Unsure of all the 5 star reviews these chains receive. Making your way through the product catalog is an exercise in itself. These arrived very late, not sure what they fit. They appear to be of poor quality & I'm certain by the weight, these would not last.

I purchased this set of chains for my snowblower with a tire size 16 x 6.5 x 8. These chains do fit except there is missing two sections of cross chains. In the add the picture with chains installed on the lawn tractor with the yellow rims you can see the missing cross sections on the bottom of the tire. I find this disappointing when the chains are the ones recommended for my tire size. I guess to keep the cost down this is the solution. For the consumer it's a pain!

Chains were perfect for tires with no knob's problem I have knob's on my snowblower tires so I had to add another row of links as there was a big gap where they hooked up I had spare crossover sections form last pair I bought a few years ago and installed them now tires are completely covered It was my fault I had forgot about the knob'sOther than that Chains were perfect fit thank you
