Any tire chains will fit the rear axle of the bus, wheel wells are huge unless you have extra wide tires. Good snowwies, Yokohamas sound fine, will do wonders, chains are for <50 kph and desperate driving. Chains are expensive and nerve-wracking. I only use mine to get out of deep snow on top of ice, at which they are unbeatable. Take them off asap. They are a good way to freeze your hands fitting them on too! If you do opt for a set make sure they have a very good way of keeping the chains tight, usually a heavy bungee cord attached all over the place to the links. NO loose pieces! They can beat the paint off your van fast, and cause a lot of damage if they come off at speed! A set of chains will cost you what one good tire does anyhow, save up for the second tire! tim s.
