Tire chains what might they fit

Well-known Member
So I have a set of tire chains that measure 91 inches long and 21 inches wide. This is a set that was sort of given to me. I don't think they are long enough to fit a set of 24 inch tires but have not tried to put them on a set either.
Thanks
 
Just take a tape measure,flexible or a dress maker tape and measure around a couple of tires. You will get a feeling pretty quick what they will fit. Sound pretty narrow.
 
I do not believe I have any tires small enough for them to fit and that is why I have not even tried to do any measuring. Smallest tire on the place is a 12.4X24 as for tractor rear tires
 
When the ends are spliced together, they make a circle very close to 30 inches. on a 24" tire (24" rim size) that would put the chain circle about 2.5 inches beyond the rim (radius measurement). The width of the cross links should drape over BA Farmall tire! Jim
 
Guess I should drag one of them out to the shop and see if one will fit over the spare BA tire I have. Been meaning to fix it but jut have not got around to it yet. Had the outer dual go flat on the BA so just put on a spare I had laying around and have not gotten around to fixing the flat one. The flat is on a rim I was told I could not fix so because I was told I could not do it I did it any how
 
Rich after measuring some tires this afternoon I have to agree with VicS. I think they will fit the 275/45R16 on my '97 F250 4/4. Don't waste your time trying to fit them up to a 24" tractor time cause they are too small.
 
I can't tell you but for comparison:

The "Ladder" style chains for the 13.6 X 28 tires on my WD have 20" cross chains and the side chains are 128" long.
