Helpful Expert Reply:

We do indeed have snow tire chains that will fit your 285/75R18, and the best option is going to depend on what kind of conditions you will need them for. I'll list out the chains that will fit along with the conditions they are best for in order to help you make your decision.

- Standard to Moderate Snow: pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains # PWE3231SC

These chains are a very good all-around option, as they are thick at 5.6 mm, and have square links with a cross pattern. What this means is that you are going to get really good traction on the road with your truck. They'll serve most purposes really well for regular use.

- Deep Snow & Ice: Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains - V-Bar Link # TC3831CAM

These Titan chains offer more use for deeper snow as well as ice because they have V-bars on the chain, which are going to provide the best grip on icy roads. The V-shaped links bite into the ice/deep snow for the best traction, and they are a ladder pattern which means you get the best starting and stopping power on icy roads or in deeper snow.

- Off-Road: pewag All Square Mud Service Snow Tire Chains # PWE2441S

The Mud Service chains, true to their name, are designed to handle the rigors of off-road use if you find yourself in that situation. They will hold up just fine in standard snow as well, but can handle going off-road because the links are really large at 8.2 mm thick, which means they will grab more of the ground than smaller links.

I have also added links below to video reviews of each chain for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
