I have a few options of tire chains for your 2001 Ford F-150 with the 265/70R17 size tires.

A good economy option for tire chains on your F-150 are the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW3027C. These chains feature low-carbon steel spring rollers wrapped around sturdy wire cross cables. They also have a low profile which makes the ride a lot more smooth.

Another option for snow chains for your Ford is the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594267. I recommend using these chains over the other pair of chains because these use a wrap around install and they have the D-shaped rings which will do better in deeper snow or icy conditions. They also feature anti-scratch nylon bumpers which help to protect your rims. Another great feature is that these chains tighten on their own. These are made of a stronger material, manganese nickel and alloy steel, plus they come with a 5 year warranty.
