Should Snow Chains be On Front and Rear Axle of 2015 Ford F-150

Question:

Looking to purchase the TC2533 chains for my 2015 Ford F150 4x4 truck. I. Do you put chains on front as well as the back tires? 2. Is there a rule of thumb as to when that may be necessary? Tire size 275/65R18. Thank you!

The Titan Tire Chains part # TC2533 are a fit for the tire size you have of 275/65R18 on your 2015 Ford F-150.

Ideally you run a set of chains on the front and back axle so that you get max traction for braking, accelerating and turning. If you only installed one set of chains you'd have to use them on the rear axle of your truck since it's the primary drive axle. Some people get away with just one set of chains on the rear, but if at all possible I'd recommend you get a set for both axles.
