You can find out what size you need, more or less, but it is an approximate art. Pick a spot on the tire sidewall where you think the side chain should come down to, usually about halfway down is where I aim for. Then measure the diameter of a circle from that point to the same point on the other side of the tire. Multiply by pi and that gives the minimum length for your side chains. The measure from the original point up and over the tread of the tire to the same point on the inside sidewall. This gives the minimum length for the cross chains. If you find a chain that you like the prie of and want to know if it will fit just reverse this procedure. Start by taking the cross chain length and seeing how far it would come down both sidewalls, then check the diameter of the circle from that point. There are different kinds of tire chains, I have had duo grip and ladder type chains and much prefer the duo grip for snow and ice. I do not like to drive on bare frozen ground or on hard gravel roads or pavement with chains on as it is hard on the chain and the tire. Once the snow goes in the spring the chains come off both tractors. I have never had double ring chains and can't comment on them. Zach
