Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali
Question:
The owner’s Manuel for the 2011 Yukon Denali advises not to use snow chains bc the lack of clearance. Do you know of any snow traction devices approved by GMC for my 2011 Yukon Denali? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2011 GMC Yukon Denali owner's manual says not to use tire chains due to lack of clearance, the only tire chain I recommend going with is the Konig K-Summit XXL K78 # KON84FR because it mounts directly to the lug nuts and then only sits on your tire treads - there is no chain that sits on the back of your tire sidewall so you won't have any clearance issues.
Obviously this is a premium option which is reflected in the price. You can try using a low clearance chain like the Konig XG12 Pro # TH01594267 (for 265/70-17 and 265/65-18 tires) but this does sit on the back side of the tire so if you have any brake lines or cables in the area there is a chance that the chains could cause damage.
