Recommended Tire Chains for 35x12.5x20 Sized Tires on 2012 Ford F-250 4-Wheel Drive

Question:

Hello I am in the military and getting ready to move to Alaska. I need to purchase snow chains and was looking at the TC3235CAM but I was wondering if they will fit 35x12.5x20 single wheels. Also do I need a tensioner? Do you offer military discount? This is going to be expensive cause I need them for the front and back and additional recommendations? The vehicle is 2012 Ford F-250 SD 4 wheel drive.

The Titan Chain Tire Chains w Cams # TC3235CAM are confirmed to fit your 35x12.5x20 sized tires. They do have built in cam tighteners so additional adjusters are not necessarily required although they can make things easier. For a rubber adjsut you can use # TCMA2 and for a link and spring adjuster use # TCSA2.

I found an online owner's manual for your 2012 Ford F-250 to see what Ford says about using chains. You should check yours to verify. It states that Class S compatible chains should be used. Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC2039 is an example of a Class S chain to fit your tires. One other thing of importance, the manual says not to use snow chains at all if you have 20 inch rims. So I would definitely check with a Ford dealership on your truck since you have aftermarket tires and rims.
