Most vehicle manufacturers are going to err on the side of caution when if comes to tire chains. There can be clearance issues between the chains and the wheel wells and the parts that are on the back side of your cars wheels. The tire chains you are referencing in this question are Class S Compatible tire chains. Class S tire chains are designed to be used on vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 265, part # th2004705265, are designed to fit your sized tire. If you decide to use these tire chains please keep in mind that Chevy is not going to warranty damage to your vehicle caused by tire chains.
