I bought mine from Les Schwab in Oregon. They carry them stock for the 285s. The link above for tirechain.com is great, I've bought from them before for tractors and that's where I bought the heavy duty chains for my Scout II. These are what I have for my H3

They're ultra easy to install (this is a huge HUGE benefit when you're in the mess by the side of the road, you're freezing, there's a billion other people stacked around you, you're in a hurry and want to get the hell going) and do a fair job. While they say they're not for offroading, they work great. I haven't had them rub yet. The square profile is then next best thing to studs for grabbing the ice. Staying stock with the tire size lets you get away with chains, I wouldn't EVEN try it with 35s! I have no idea as to why they say "no chains" on the H3 when you buy it. If you folks think the H3 is great in snow without chains, you're going to freak when you have 'em on.
Yeah, I'm a battleship sailor, I was on the Jersey in Beruit. You probably saw us on the evening news a few times. She was a ship from a different era.
