Today on our 2013 Dodge Durango, with tire size 265 60 R18s well be test fitting the
Glacier Mud service snow tire chains, part number PWH2439S. These heavy duty tire chains
are ideal for off road applications. The electro-galvanized finish resists rust and the twist length cross-chain
design provides excellent traction in snow, ice and mud. To begin our test fit well lay
the chains out on the ground and make sure we get any knots or kinks out of the chain.
Once weve done that well drape the chain over the tire. Well now move to the inside of the
tire where well connect the two side chain ends together, taking up as much of the slack
within the chain as possible. You can also double loop the chain to take
up any slack from the side chain, making sure that the cross-chains are centered with the
tire tread. You want to make sure that you chain tension device is toward the outside
of the tire, and that the hook for the cross chain faces out where it connects to the side
chain. Well now move to the outside chain where well double loop the chain into our
tensioner and pull the tensioner tight. Well then use the chain link here to hold the tension
device in place. With that, our chains are on and were ready to head out in the snow,
ice or mud.
