Can I Use Snow Tire Chains on a 2012 Ram 1500 with Tire Size 275/60R20

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 with the tire size 275/60R20. Will the Glacier V-Trac Cable Snow Tire Chains work with my tires? I have read a few places where any snow chains will not work due to the, I think, break line in the way. Thank you,

The owner's manual for your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 states you cannot use tire chains on the 275/60R20 tires. The manual states there can be clearance issues if chains are used.

I recommend contacting your dealership for clarification concerning tire chains or tire cables on your truck.

If using Class S cable tire chains are allowed I recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW3029C on your size tires. These chains have rubber tensioners included to help secure the chains to the tires.
