Hi all.


I can't remember the last time I actually used tire chains and if I
did, it was only once so please forgive such an elementary question.


I have older brand new Les Schwabb "Quick Fit Diamond" tire chains.
Image showing sizes they're suitable for:

An online tire calculator shows the 205/65/15 having a slightly
negative difference in circumference but it's obviously a wider tire.


I imagine the 205/65/15 size would be listed but then these chains are
at least 5 years old.


These chains should fit a 205/65/15 tire right?


Thanks


Neil.
