We have a few great options for the tire size of 265/60R18 for tire chains. If you plan to be in ice you will want a V-bar setup like the part # TC2828CAM as the V-bars do a great job breaking up the ice. If you are wanting a smoother ride quality the twist link part # TC2228CAM is the correct chain to use.

For deep snow the square link part # TC2228SCAM would be best.
