Do You Have To Use Tire Cables On A 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a Chevy Tahoe Z71 2021, tires 275/60R20, just wondering what type of snow chain vs cables are recommended? The owners manual says no chains. It looks like theres plenty of clearance. I saw your video of chains being placed on the 2021 tahoe. any recommendations would be appreciated. thank you

I have a solution for you.

In regards to the owner manual, since they say not to use it this means that using chains will most likely end up causing damage to the vehicle because of clearance issues in the wheel well.

You can however use the Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains - Light Truck - 1 Pair # TC751DC. Its low profile will not hinder the clearance issues that chains can cause.

Hi Cole; you can still potentially use tire chains on your F-150 tires to meet the state requirements. Since the 275/60R20 isn't listed in the manual you will have to measure to make sure you have enough clearance. It sounds like your main…
