Tire chain size cross reference

I'm shopping for a set of chains to fit 31x13.5-15 turfs. I see sizes that are close such as 31x15.5-15 or 33x12.5-15. Would anyone have a chart showing what other size might fit the 31x13.5? Thanks Nelson

The 31x15.5-15 should fit nicely The side chains will over lap the sides 1" further on each side and you might have to hook one link shorter on the side chains but they will fill the bill for you. The 33" set would be about 6¼" two long. 31" vs 33" = 2" extra dia x 3.14 = 6.28" longer. The thing to look for is a set that = the Dia of your tire 31" + the width of the tire 13.5" or a little more. The wheel size 15" has little consequence. The height of the tire determines the length of the side chains 31" x pie 3.14 = 97.34" long or 97.5" a 33 " dia set would be 103.62". These lengths will shorten about 6" as the side chains go on the side of the tire not around the outside. The cross chains need to be a 4"-6" wider than the width of the tire These dimensions are all ready figured into the size of the tire chains.
