on a 35" mt/r? i've seen some of the heavy duty chains available on the internet, but for this application there's limited selection of chains which have any type of protection against sliding sideways.

these are the chains for my 44's notice just chsin no lugs welded on.......
but whatever......chains 44s and 2 lockers
you want something like this........with the welded ice lug. UBER traction.

so any chain of that type will work with that (mtr) style of lug pattern - not that its super deep, but relative to an all terrain tire it is.

for sure that lug grips ice in all directions not just forward/backward.
and your asking about tire tread pattern compatibility.......I don't see why not. its a pretty tight tread block pattern.

I jus got some chains from TIRECHAINS.com, they are probably your best route, they ship FAST. I pre-installed them to see how they fit. Believe me, ya wanna do this a few times b4 trying to do it when ya really need to.
Its takes some tugging and pulling and readjusting to get them to sit right, and after you drive for 1/4 mile or so, ya wanna readjust them again.

When i drove a rig OTR, we used to use a couple of bungee cords to help keep the chains tight, stretch them across the diameter of the tire,,,helps to eliminate the need for readjusting down the road.
I gave up slingin chains, if the road is THAT bad, i didn't need to be driving on it...
But then again, i did have somewhere to sleep in the sleepercab

regular old round bar chains like the pic in the above post on 37x12.50 R16.5 wrangler M/T's. Tires had about 3/4 tread left on them at the time. The chains helped immensely on the snow/ice mix that we were driving on
550 cord used in place of bungee cords to keep them tight for the month we were in the box.

When I had the little 36x12.50's on my stepside, I cut down some semi chains my dad had picked up off the highway over the years. They were for a taller tire, but the length worked out and after cutting them down and moving a few crosslinks they fit good. IIRC, some were v-bars too. Now I'm on taller, wider tires so they wouldn't work. I'll have to see if I can make them fit the 33's on my crew cab.
