Tire Chain Recommendation for 2021 GMC Yukon Denali with 275/50-22 Size Tires
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I saw in the QandA section for the KON24FR that these would be the best fit for my 2021 Yukon Denali on 275/50/22 tires. However, when i open the link for those chains it notes that they do not fit my vehicle. I just want to confirm that the KON24FR are applicable to my vehicle and will not have any clearance issues. I see that these chains are not installed on the interior of the tire and are S rated so I think they would fit, but they are quite expensive so Id like confirmation. Thanks.

There is a little to unpack here so bear with me; while my fellow Expert had good intentions and a good idea, ultimately his recommendation is incorrect and we will be updating that answer page accordingly. While the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # KON24FR will fit 275/50-22 size tires, it's designed for smaller vehicles as the chains are smaller. Since your 2021 GMC Yukon is a bigger vehicle the weight will basically shorten the lifespan of the chains and they won't be as effective.
For your application I recommend using the Konig Tire Chains # KON44FR instead. This is a beefier tire chain that will hold up under the weight of your bigger vehicle much better and will give you a good amount of help in the winter conditions. I've attached an installation video of these on a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 for you to check out.
When you look at the owner's manual for your Yukon you should see 2 boxes talking about using tire chains with your tire size; one of them is a warning that says not to use them while another is a caution saying to only use them on the rear tires when it is legally required. So GM is essentially saying that you can use them if you need to but they aren't going to handle any issues if there is damage that occurs (or at least that's how it reads to me).
If you want/need to use chains then you'll want to go with the set I recommended. The K-Summits will physically fit your tire size but they aren't heavy duty enough to properly handle the weight of your vehicle.
