Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with 275/60-20 Tires
Question:
What tire chains are recommended for 2008 ford super duty f-250 4wd pickup. This truck has Mud/Snow tires size LT275/60R20. I have seen where ford has not recommended use of chains on tires with 20 inch rims... What is the reason for a restriction...

Expert Reply:
First, you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual on recommendations for tire chains. It may indicate there why you cannot use chains with 20 inch rims. Usually when chains cannot be used it is a clearance issue around or on the back of the tire. The chains may interfere with a component on the vehicle.
If you determine that you can use chains, I have included a link to the chains that will fit the 275/60-20 size. Most of the chains require 28mm of clearance, like # TC2828CAM, which is a large clearance requirement and could be why Ford says not to use chains with this size tire.
Other chains have a 15mm requirement like # KON44FR. This is not as much as the other chains above but still a fair amount. I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ article that might help.
