Can You Use Snow Tire Chains on a 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel with 285/70-17 Tires

Question:

I have a 2017 Ram Rebel 1500. I have heard there may be some clearance issues with snow chains. My tires are 285 70 17. What snow chains will fit?

I do have some options for you but according to the owner's manual for a 2017 Ram 1500, only models with 265/70-17 tires can use snow tire chains and they must be class s rated, installed on the rear axle only. That said, I understand there are certain situations where you need them so you will just need to check for clearance issues before use. I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part # TC2327 for 285/70-17 tires as they have a diamond pattern which will provide a smooth ride, there are color coded sections for an easy install, and they are class s rated which is best for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance.
