Default GT3 Snow chains

Does anyone have any experience with the snow chains from suncoast? They only offer up to 295 but the factory snow tires are 305 rear, considering its such a small difference would they still fit?

Factory snow tires are 295, I think the issue is that on anything other than the factory winter wheel set the chains will hit the fender not that they won’t fit over the tire, but I am not spending the money on the expensive chains to find out.

if you still had the MPSC2’s mounted and wanted to use chains, that wouldn’t be advised since it could be too cold and the tires could crack.

No definitely not. Michelin Alpines will be on the wheels. but this thread is moot anyway.
I can't get my hands on the 305s so I'm going with a set of 295s that the chains will fit

Chains on 295’s on the stock 12” wheels are not going to necessarily have the same clearance as 295’s on the recommended 11” snow wheels that have a different offset, FWIW...

Do not expect 194 MPH with chains. Vmax with chains is slightly lower.

I love the low front splitter for clearing my driveway of snow.

Are you kidding me, chains on your rear tires. Why not just put a snow plow on the front.
