Have been watching auctions for rear tire chains, of course when they are sold seldom the size is given. So, what would the length and width of chains to fit 12.4 x 28 tires be if they were laid out flat on the ground? thanks Dave

It's really hard to answer because different sets are different widths i.e. some wrap around the tire more than others.
In my opinion the wider ones are better, and, if they are too long, it is easy to shorten them. Not much of an answer maybe but just to say you might have more flexibility than you thought.

Jim is right,i made a set out of old school bus chains i found in the junk yard,i fasten them with rubber cords i bought from Mill Supply who supply snow plow parts i put aprox 10 on each side and can travel on the roads short distance withh no looseness,when i take them off i will give you the exact measurements if you like
good luck

thanks for the response, looking for a size at least in the ball park so at least I do not get stuck with chains I can not adapt to fit. thanks Dave
