Tire Chain Recommendation for 275/60R20 Tires on a 2021 Chevy Tahoe
Question:
Interested in getting tire chains for my Tahoe 275 60 R20. We live in Texas and roads are not treated whenever we get ice. I’ve heard about the two link v-bar chains being really good for ice, but would like to get your recommendation on affordable/nice performing chains for our suv. Thank you.

We do have the Titan Chain Snow Chains # TC2828CAM which use the V-Bar link for deep snow and ice and they fit the 275/60R20 tires on your 2021 Chevy Tahoe. My only concern is that when I looked up your owner's manual online it specifically stated not to use tire chains on your size tires due to low clearance.
This means that using standard chains that wrap around the back side of the tire will come into contact with something on the back side like brake lines or suspension parts. Because of this I highly recommend going with the Konig K-Summit K79 # KON24FR tire chains if you really need to use chains. These chains have a unique design where they secure to the tire via a lug nut which means that the chain then only sits on top of the tread and won't be on the back side of the tire at all - which ultimately means that back clearance won't be an issue. These chains are also effective on ice.
I know the K-Summit chains are a very premium option that also have a premium price tag, but these are the only chains on the market that will allow you to use tire chains on your vehicle without needing to take it to a shop afterwards for some major repairs.
