Hello Spencer.

For deep snow and ice you are actually going to want the same kind of chain, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Wide Base Tires - Ladder Pattern - V-Bar Links - 1 Pair # TC3831 would be a great fit for your F350 with tire size 275/65r20, the V shaped studs are ideal for getting good traction on ice or in deep snow. The # TC3831 are good for on road and off road use. I would also grab a pair of the # TCMA3 for a nice snug fit. The chains already come with a built-in cam tighteners which make it easy to achieve a tight, secure fit.

We also have the Titan Chain Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Assisted Tensioning - 1 Pair # TC2536 which will work in the deep snow, but not so much recommended for ice. The # TC2536 are only for on road use. These chains are definitely easier to put on, and you can use the # TCMA3 with these as well.

Once last thing I like to tell all my tire chain people, please do a test fit in a warm dry spot like a garage. It is a whole lot easier to learn how they go on while you are dry and warm than it is on the side of the road in a blizzard. I have included some install videos to help with how they go on. Once you put them to some good use, please let me know what you think of them. And always remember, the best way to drive in the ice is to stay home. Happy New Year!

Hey Spencer, how did the Titan V-Bar chains work out on your F350 in the snow and ice? Did the TCMA3 tighteners give you the snug fit you were looking for? Your update could make it easier for others choosing between those two chain styles.
