  • Tire Chains
  • Unfortunately, we do not offer any chains with rim protection for your size. I spoke with Pewag, and there was nothing they could offer for this.

I've linked to a video review below.

  • What Towing Mirrors do You Recommend for My 2020 Ford F-550?
  • For your 2020 Ford F-550, we do not have a customized fit that is available for your vehicle. However, we do have some universal fits that will work. For that route, I recommend the CIPA Universal Tow Mirror # 7070. These clip-on mirrors will fit on almost any OEM mirror that has a gap between the outer housing and the actual glass surface, as shown in the linked installation video. Note this is sold as a single piece, not a pair. If you want an even wider field of view you might consider...
