The biggest thing to note for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with 275/60R20 tires is that the owners manual states not to use tire chains with this vehicle and tire combination. The reason for this is that There is not enough clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can cause damage to the brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the tire chains could cause loss of control and a crash.

If you decide to use tire chains anyways due to local Department of Transportation regulations then I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2533. The diamond-pattern chains offer more tire coverage and will provide great traction in snow, excellent grip and stopping power on ice and the small link size contributes to a smoother ride.
