Hey Frederick,
For your tire size and since you're going to be off road only the best option is going to be the Pewag 7mm LT Studded Truck Chain with Cams # PWKST2228SC. These chains were designed for rough off-road applications like forestry and ice road trucking so they should be more than capable of making it up your driveway during inclement weather. The studs built into these chains will help break through thick ice and increase your grip on the snowy ground. The built-in cams make tensioning the chains for a snug fit fast and easy.
I've attached a short video below on a newer model Silverado so you can see how these chains are installed. I highly recommend practicing putting them on before you actually need them so that you have the procedure down and can quickly get through it when you actually need them.
