Function over form. I'm the same way. Why spend money you don't need too. When a stock wheel on our 03 Sequoia showed signs of corrosion a couple of years ago I found a refurbished direct replacement rather than purchase four new rims as new OEM wheels were no longer available.

You have Les Schwab tire stores in CO. Take your ride to one of their shops and I'm betting one of their employees can test fit a pair of socks for you check. I too took note of what the manual says. I looked at a pair and did not think they would be up to the task I wanted them for which is...

Yes, that is correct.

I purchased chains for our 4Runner at our local Les Schwab a week or so ago. We test fitted them in the parking lot. Looked good so I picked them up. Test fitted them again at home and gave them a thorough look from every angle. Could not see any issue. They also mentioned tire socks.

With winter snows coming or in some locations already here a few have been concerned about their 4Runner manual stating that they cannot utilize tire chains. With the 265/70R18 Falken factory tires on our Off Road Premium I have that problem as the manual states that chains cannot be fitted to...

Just the back. Not enough clearance in front. Suspension components. In all but the worst cases all most will need is just a set on the back.

I need chains for the same reason you do. A remote cabin down 3/4 of a mile of sometimes unplowed forest road with deep snow. I have had my 3/4 ton truck stuck on it with all four chained up. My real problem is a hill which is sometimes icy. When it gets like that I need chains to get out even...

Went to my trusted tire shop a few weeks ago after reading about tire chains in the manual. Test fitted this set and bought them. Here they are this morning in my driveway. Crawled around and under again. No clearance issues with these that I can see. The heavy cross bar chains that I use on my...

Ruts and mud would be my issue and I would hit both, hanging up if the ruts are deep enough.

If you look closely you will note that it does not hang lower than the bottom of the rear differential. I would say that if you drag the spare tire somewhere you might have a bigger problem and maybe some real damage elsewhere.

I have the TRD Off Road Premium which comes with the 265/70R18 tires. Manual says you cannot mount chains on these due to clearance issues. I too live in snow country and I did not want to use socks or other approved devices as I don't think they would work with a foot or more of snow on top of...

Addressed this issue a few days ago. Took our TRD Off Rd Premium in to my trusted tire shop. Employee brought out the set pictured and test fitted the pair. Both of us on hands and knees could not identify any conflict with the body or suspension components so I sacked them up. Ignore the...
