Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, in the online owners manual it doesn't specify tire chains other than to use only on the back tires, not to use on certain tires at all, and to follow chain manufactures specifications. I recommend you double check in the manual that came with your vehicle. Your tires are not any of the factory sizes, so I'll give you what I recommend for your tire size.
For class S compatible chains, I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair, # TC2327. These chains are made of very strong manganese nickel alloy steel and are square link for better traction. These chains have integrated tensioners to keep the chains tight. Because your tires are pretty large, I personally would lean towards these chains to give you as much clearance as possible between the inside of your tire and the vehicle's moving components and frame.
For best traction and not accounting for clearance, I recommend the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains for Wide-Base Tires - 1 Pair, # PWE3229S. These nickel manganese alloy steel chains are square links and case hardened. These are extra durable chains made for the best grip and traction. This would be your best option if you will be traveling in the worst conditions provided you have enough clearance for them to not make contact with other vehicle components.
The # TC2533 chains are not a confirmed fit for your tire size.
