These were in the tool box of the truck I just bought. They measure about 19" wide by 80" long. How do I go about determining what size tires these will fit? I want to put them on Craigslist.

Go to WalMart and test fit them on random vehicles until you find a good fit. Then you'll know!

Be sure to get it on video.

Hmmm..I've been itching to try out the winch on the D-max. Two birds, one stone?

Nobody up here needs tire chains! We know how to drive! (and we use studded winter-specific tires).

Subscribed for video.

80/3.14= 25.5" tall tire would be a starting point.

Put them on your car trailer for improved stopping during winter weather conditions?
