Jeep Limited Tire Chains
 

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 245/70/16 tires and according
to the manual, it says you can't install tire chains.

What do people do if they are required to have chains for some mountain
passes?

You have to use a special category type, I think they say "S" type but I
am not sure. Mostly, you are limited to cable type chains instead of
standard steel link chains.

Here is a site that will tell you all you need to know:

Type S is just the minimal tire clearance type chain.
The trick with the Grand Cherokee is to use a slightly
undersized tire and/or even wheel. And if you do ever
actually need to mount the chains, keep speed down to
25 mph or less...which won't be hard, as the difference
between road closed and chains is pretty small over
the Sierra passes. The "z" style radial cable chains
will clear if you poke around for the size restrictions for
Jeep on the above website.
