Will Titan Snow Tire Chains # TC3835CAM Fit 12x16.5 Skid Steer Tires

Question:

Will the TC3835CAM fit 12 x 16.5 skid steer tires. I know you have others that you recommend, but I am looking for something less expensive for light duty work.

I spoke with my contact at Titan Chain and he did say that the Titan Snow Tire Chains # TC3835CAM referenced in your question will physically fit and work on your 12x16.5 size skid steer tires. He said the only potential issue with using low-carbon steel chains like these with skid steer tires is the amount of force tires like these will put on them, especially when making turns.

He said as long as you plan on mainly just using the chains while on soft surfaces such as dirt or snow, these will work well. If you plan on using the chains on harder surfaces though a better option will be with alloy chains like the Pewag # PWSSE12165-2 that are specifically designed for skid steer tires.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these chains that you can check out as well.
