- 2013 explorer sport
I am looking at getting a set of tire chains for my 2013 explorer sport. Now before you jump all over me and say I cant get tire chains because I have 20" wheels, you would be correct. But I dont have 20" wheels for winter I have 17".
My winter tire size is 245/65R17. I have hakkapeliitta 8 studded winter tires.
The reason I want chains is I am looking at doing some exploring on some un-maintained mountain roads.
I will be traveling with a 2013 F-150 on hakkapeliitta 8 winter tires, he has rear diff lock and 4x4, he also has chains front and back.
We also have a kinetic recovery rope if something were to happen.
I know there are other posts on tire chains, but... they all get distracted with legal requirements, and winter tires vs snow tires.
So I want to hear from people who have ran tire chains on their 5th gen explorers. Let me know what you have, if they work. and issues you may have had with them.
