Hello David.

For diamond pattern tire chains for your 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 265/75R16 tires I recommend the Thule XB16 chains # TH01571265. For your tire size this is the only option that has the diamond pattern and can be used on or off road.

But if you want something that is going to give you the best grip in snow, ice, and even mud then I recommend the Pewag tire chains # PWE2228S. These chains have large square links which provide the best grip making them ideal for extreme environments. I have linked a video for you.

Be sure to consult the truck owner's manual for additional information on the use of tire chains. I have also included a link to our help article on tire chains.
