What size tire chains - SZ486 or SZ492 Peerless Z8

[WhiskeyMike]

Finally got my Braptor on Saturday and getting ready for a December trip. Used Z8 cable chains on my Wrangler and they worked well. Want a set for the Braptor - but what are others using - on Wrangler just used one pair on front.

Sizing is tricky can't tell whether I need SZ486 or SZ492

Can anyone assist?

Congrats on taking delivery! I'm going to let someone else reply in regards to the chains as you already have more experience with them than myself.

I heard back from Peerless this morning (great customer service!) And they said for a 37 x 12.50 R17 I should order a SZ492. I have used these 8mm cable chains on two others vehicles and they are great.

On my Wrangler with 33 inch KO2s I ran just one set on the front and found they worked well but only used them off road at low speed.

For the Braptor should I run them on the back or front?

Try them both ways. Depending on vehicle balance and more/less positive steering will give you what you need to make a decision. I am curious as well to which way works best. Worse case buy two sets and chain up all four.

Good luck.
