Snow chains information needed. 2006 Toyota Tacoma prerunner, 4 dr and 2 wd, I don’t know if I need 2 snow chains on back or 4 all the way around would would be wise

thanks

 

I always recommend chaining all four. A lot of people only chain up the drive tires, but if your front end goes astray, it can take the back with it.

 

Chains aid in traction.
Traction to the front wheels is good, they are what turn the truck.

 

Good luck fitting chains up front. There isn’t much room between the spindle / UCA and the inner sidewall with OEM wheels.

Your owners manual recommends rear chains only.

 

Are you looking to meet chain requirements at a chain check? If so, you only need to chain the drive axle in most instances. I've never seen the CHP/NHP require chains on all tires...they'll close the road before it gets to that.

 

Not at all familiar with the OP's vehicle, but I can't imagine there isn't room to get a set of radial "roller" chains on the steer tires.

 

The owners manual states no chains up front. You can fit cables up front but they better be on tight enough and you need to keep speeds low because they will contact the UCA if you're not running skinny tires (245s) or aftermarket wheels. Use them to get unstuck....then take them off. Since he's 2wd they'll be of little benefit in that situation.
