Chain size for 35" tires?
I am changing from 16" to 17" wheels, but will still run 35s.
The tire store says it is a different size chains for the new setup, so I'll have to replace my current set.
Why would I need different chains for the same size tire, just a slightly different rim size?
Any ideas??
