Overview
The SCC Security Chain Super ZLT SUV/LT snow chains, part number ZT735, are tire chains for SUV and light truck tires. They are matched by tire size rather than by vehicle, with many sizes covered.
Security Chain Company, or SCC, began in 1969 as a division of Burns Bros. Inc., headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Besides cable and link style traction products, its range includes bulk chain and accessories for industrial and transport applications, cargo and load control products, and lifting products. Because snow chains are chosen by tire size, check your tire size on the sidewall against the list below.

Choosing and fitting chains
Snow chains work best when the tire size matches the sidewall exactly, so start by reading the numbers and load marks on the tire. Chains on SUV and light truck tires sit close to the wheel well, so clearance to brakes, suspension and fenders needs checking before the first winter drive. Lifted vehicles and wide tires need the closest look.
Practice mounting the chains at home in dry conditions, and keep a pair of gloves and a small light nearby for fitting in the cold. Chains wear with use, so inspect cross links and fasteners after each trip, and replace worn links early. Remove them once the road is clear, since driving on bare pavement can damage both the chains and the tires.

Vehicle fitment
Fit is by tire size, not by vehicle. The chain covers a long range of sizes, including 235/55-20, 235/75-16, 245/55-19, 245/70-16, 255/45-20, 255/55-18, 255/65-17, 255/70-16, 265/65-16, 265/70-15, 275/40-20, 30×9.50-16.5LT, LT225/85-16, LT235/75-16, LT265/70-15, 215/55-20, 225/55-20, 225/60-19, 225/65-18, 235/65-18, 235/75-17, 245/65-17, 265/60-17, 285/50-18, 295/45-18 and 315/40-19, and others. Check your exact tire size against the full size range before ordering, since a close size is not a match.
Chains do not suit every tire size, and a size that is close to one on the list is not a match; check the exact size on your sidewall. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Fit and tension the chains using the installation steps supplied with them.
- Test-fit the chains on a flat, safe surface before you need them.
- Check clearance between the chains and the brakes, suspension, fender and body, especially on lifted vehicles or with wide tires.
- Drive at a reduced speed and re-tighten the chains after the first short distance, as the manufacturer directs.
- Check your local rules on when chains are permitted or required.
