Question:

I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 that has the LT265/60R20 tire. 1. The use of Konig on this vehicle has not been determined per your web page. 2. I had to sign a form stating that I understood I could not use chains but that cables would be OK. Do you have a Konig that will work? Thank you

Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you, however I checked with Konig and they do not make a set of chains that are designed to fit the 265/60R20 size tires on your GMC Sierra 2500.

Since your Sierra has very limited wheel well clearance (which is why they had you sign a form regarding the use of chains) I recommend using the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C. These cables are Class S compatible and will keep you compliant with the warranty on your Sierra while also providing better traction in the snow and ice. They are confirmed to fit your size tires and install easily using an integrated lever.

I have attached a sample install video that you can use for reference. Two cable chains are included.

I do also recommend adding a set of rubber adjusters like the Glacier # PW105 to allow for an even tighter fit around the tires.
