We have several recommendations for the 275/55-20 tire and wheel combination, see link.

For the easiest installation and best traction in the most extreme conditions, it would recommend the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners, item # PWE3229SC. The S model Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains, item # PWE3229S, that you mentioned do not have the cam tighteners for ease of installation that the SC model features.

If you will only be using the chains occasionally and are more worried about DOT regulations, I would recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, item # PW2028C, along with a set of Glacier Rubber Adjusters for Light-Truck Snow Chains - 1 Pair, item # PW99.
