Tire Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 275/60-20 of 2021 GMC Sierra 1500
Published 01/16/2024
Question:
Will these chains have proper clearance on the front tires of a stock height 2021 Sierra 1500 Elevation with 275/60R20 tires? The owners manual says no chains will fit front or rear with these tires, but you show that they fit the rear just fine. I want to make sure I wont rip out any brake lines or steering components putting chains on the front.

Our tire chain fitguide is based on the tire sizes we know vehicles come with and it does not factor in the manufacturer of the vehicle's restrictions based on clearance. So for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 that has the tire size of 275/60-20 you'd want the K-Summit chains part # KON24FR which is only option that doesn't drape over inside of the tire sidewall so there would be no clearance issues at all.
The other chains you mentioned would be too thick to fit properly.
