What is the Difference Between Twist-Link Snow Chains and Square-Link Snow Chains
Question:
My tire size is 275/70 R18

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 RAM 2500 with tires sized 275/70-18 you can use the Titan Chain # TC3229CAM with twisted links and ladder design. The Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains are better for snow purposes than ice.
Square-Link Chains like part # TC3229S work better on ice than the twist-link chains. The Square-Links will work just as well in the snow too. Since they are both constructed of low-carbon steel, they will have about the same durability. If you are going to be using chains for a snow and ice situation I recommend going with the square chains since they have the squared edge which will do better with ice than the rounded twist-links will.
For either set we recommend the Titan # TCOA3 rubber tensioners.
