    Chains are universal. You can put them on any of the same tires. You wont tear them apart either.

    in ice, yes, in snow there about the same as any snow tire. I run em on my S-10 and LOVE em. With regular snows i've been stuck on small inclined hills from ice, not with studs and some weight in the bed!

    They won't let you--anybody: truckers, cars, Land Rovers, doesn't matter--past a certain point approaching the mountain passes unless you're chained up. There's a wide space on the highway to chain up.

    Owner's manual says don't use chains on 18".

    I wish they enforced that around here. Some of these maroons run their damned studs all summer. No joke.
