Expert Reply:
If your 245/75/16 size tires are compatible with your new truck then using chains, like the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2323, shouldn't be a problem. I would just double check to make sure that the old tires are compatible, that they are not worn out, that they can handle at least the same weight capacity, and that the owner's manual for your current truck doesn't prohibit the use of tire chains.
