As long as you have fender room it will work but for shortning all you would do is cut 1 link on each side of each chain for a total of 4 links and save those links and what you have removed incase you will need longer at some time and then just weld that link back together. And the reason for not ladder type on new tires is that like I think all new tires now have seperate bars with a space in metween each mar and that cross chain will slip in between the bars and therefore will not do you any good if the lug of that tire is sticking up higher than the chain laying between the links, now like some were made years ago the tread bars were all connected with no place for that chain to drop into so with that type of tread they would work on a new tire. Now you will find the cross chains are smaller on the ladder type for smother riding and that is why recemonded for road use. If you would get the ladder type and later get the new tires chances are you would have to put a little of that length back on because of a bigger diameter and at that time just get some repair links and hook each pair of cross chains together and doing that they would not drop between the bars and it sounds like you need as smooth a road ride as you can get.
