For your P265/65R18 tires on your Chevy Tahoe, the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 267 # TH01594267 will be your best option by a long shot. They are made of manganese nickel alloy steel, have anti-scratch nylon bumpers to protect your rims and have double steel plates positioned along the center of tread specifically for traction on ice.

The cable options for your tire size # TC747DC and # PW2028C will not provide the traction you desire on ice. They are designed for light snow.
