Can't seem to find snow chains ANYWHERE that will fit my 2WD, Off-
road package equiped Titan with the 285/70R17 tires.

I saw the other post about not being able to use chains on a Titan, but
according to my Owner's Manual, the only restrictions are that they be
used on the rear wheels only and be of SAE class "S" (reduced
clearance).

Does anybody know who makes snow chains that fit 285/70R17 tires?
Since a 285/70R17 works out to about 32.7x11.2", can I use a chain
sized for 33x12.50R15 tires (since standard sizing doesn't take into
account the size of the rim, only the total height)?

Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks!

Easy. Say to your dealer, "I want the off-road package, but I want
2WD".

I have a 4X4 that's my off-road toy. (www.amarok.org/jeep)   I use
the Titan as my daily driver and tow-rig. Since I'm towing to
wherever I'm off-roading, it usually entails a fair bit of off-pavement
driving for camping or whatever. Because of that, I wanted the extra
rubber of the 17's, the more rugged Rancho shocks, and the skid
plates.   So... a 2WD with the Off-Road Package suited me just fine.
