Good morning,

I have had trouble finding out if this vehicle/ chain combination is compatible. I have had not clear answers from Toyota or Superior Industries. Best advice so far is to try fit and see if clearance seems sufficient between chain and vehicle.

Would you know if there is likely to be trouble (poor fit/ vehicle damage). Have there been reports of damage to modern Hilux vehicles from larger chains? (Toyota thought not but then could only recommend a very low profile chain). Would you know if the Hilux has a very restrictive wheel bay in its modern variants (our new vehicle arriving soon).

Our chain use will involve snow/ sealed roads and gravel/ mud and off-road use - with this in mind we were looking at larger profile and very heavy duty chains making the low profile options less desirable.

Thank you for any advice you may have.
