You would have to check with your local DOT to determine if tire cables are an acceptable form of tire chains in your area. Most likely you would want a chain and not a cable though, especially for a heavy duty truck since the cables are not as durable as a chain. We have several chains designed for heavy duty trucks that would be a much better option, especially in Canada where the snowfall is very heavy.

Follow the link I attached to the right and enter your tire size to see what is recommended for your tire size.

I also attached an FAQ on snow chains for you to check out.
