Think they would fit the 7.50 x 16 NDT'? I wouldn't mind getting a set for the half-tons.

Hey Zeph, I would call Robert Zetzer at Sam Winer Motors in Ohio. He is the one who is listing these for sale. I would think that if a guy was to relieve the tire of perhaps 50% of its' pressure, install the chains then re-inflate the tire for a snug fit they may work. Considering the price that they are being offered for, it may be worth the gamble.

OOOOOOOOOOORRR, you could just buy the correct size from this website. https://www.ebay.com/itm/7-50-16-7-50R1 ... 1741803471.
After generating this thread I started thinking about chains that my Chevy would need to fit 8.25 X 20 tires and I found this site. Even though We don't receive an overly generous amount of snow here, I always wanted a set.
