Tire chains

[LoveTJ]

I have a 2005 Jeep TJ Sport. I want to buy a set of winter tire chains. I'm looking to buy on Amazon in Canada. My tires are 235/75 R15 Winter Tires. Am I right to assume that I just put them on the 2 rear tires? Don't know much about cars, so any help/guidance appreciated.

I run mine in the front. Planning to get a 2nd set to run on all 4.

That makes sense if you're in 4 wheel drive, thanks. Love the tires on your Jeepie!

There is no pat answer, it depends. For example on a steep uphill climb the rear is often best. Traveling downhill on ice you want chains on the front for braking and steering.

Thanks, that's really useful information, exactly what I'm doing next weekend.

I have chains for front and rear. Several times I have only put them on the front or rear depending on the situation but having them on all 4 corners sure makes a difference.

35 KM3s and 4-6 psi (and a winch) and I don't need chains.

However I do have chains for my truck...I'd recommend Pewag. They're the ones the delivery companies use when things have to get though.

You need front and rear for optimal turning and braking.

Sure, in deep snow. Glare ice on a steep downhill twisty forest service road in the middle of the night and even putting the valve cores in your pocket aint gonna help.
