Question:
I am looking for snow chains for my Chevy 2500 HD 4x4. Tire size is 265 70 18. I ed that information on your web page. I just want to make that the snow chains results that are listed on etrailet are cleared to go on my vehicle. The owners manual specify that with my tire size certain chains can cause damage. It states to vetify with each manufacture. Also, does it have anything to do with the S clearance? Thanks

Your owner's manual specifies that you should not use tire chains on your size tires. Then they pass the liability on to manufacturers of the tire chains. The manufacturers all say they fit a specific tire size and to check your owners manual so they aren't liable. It leaves you needing to make the decision. Often the vehicle manufacturer will specify the need for class S which is a reduced interior clearance, but your owner's manual doesn't even give this option.
The best chains for your tire size are the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners - Square Link - Reversible - 1 Pair, # PWE2228SC.
The smallest chains allowing the greatest clearance are the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair, # TC2028. These cable chains are class S compatible and require only 15 mm of clearance between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself.

I may have made the mistake of purchasing some Titan Chains, with V bar cleats, item Item # TC2828CAM prior to reading the manual or without reading some of these comments in detail. Do you believe these chains will work without damaging the wheel wells if carefully installed with appropriate tighteners. Can you comment on installing these chains on the front wheels also. I would probably purchased the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers item Code: TC2028, but if the chains I purchased work I'll be fine.
