For those running snow socks. Do you get size 74?

Seems like our 255/55R20 are in between 72 and 74.

 

My .02?
Buy a big honkin set of snow tires. You will be much better off in the long run.

 

Did you ever solve this question ?
ie compatible 'full chains' for the Disco 5 ?

 

I've used König K-SUMMIT XXL K77 chains on the 255-55-R20 OE tires. They install (and remove) quickly and helped me in some very icy conditions. No clearance issues, but they are expensive. I think I paid $360 on Amazon.

 

those look nice!

 

Its been a few years so wondering if there is anything new or good experiences out there with snow chains on their LR5. I have 275-55-20 BFG KO2's already, and I know they would be great in snow, but some roads up here during storms still require you to carry sets of chains. Looking for options before a winter roadtrip. Thanks.

 

FWIW I live in Bay Area and my kids are on ski team in Tahoe so I drove Land Rover there almost every weekend through snow/etc. I put set of winter tires and never ever had any problems with traction. Nobody ever checked whether I carried snow chains - and those are for R2/R3 conditions (not sure if I ever was in them)

Not a very helpful answer I know...

 

Ha ha I just came down that trail an hour ago. A few inches of snow on it now.

 

I use these:

Peerless 0232605 Auto-Trac. I have used them twice on my L322 and never of my D5 (but I just got it).

My D5 manual says to put the chains in pairs on the same axle. I know it says recommended traction devices only. If you live in Big Bear CA like me, even if you plan to never use chains you'll need to carry them in winter.
