I have a great solution for your tire chains. Unfortunately, if you have 275/50-22 tires on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado, your owner's manual recommends not installing tire chains on this particular size. Manufacturers often do this because they want to wash their hands of any liability for any damage sustained in the wheel well components. For this reason, it is critical that you have tire chains that have plenty of clearance in the wheel wells.

With that being said, I have a great solution for you that does not require and wheel well clearance whatsoever. While we do not carry chains for your tire size with V-bar links, we do carry tire chains with self-tensioners and ice breaker studs. This is the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL # KON24FR. The studs break ice apart instead of simply digging into the ice. These chains also come with self-tensioners that includes the quickest installation and removal of any chains we carry. This is because they do not install anywhere on the interior surface on the tire. For this reason, you will dramatically decrease the potential for interior wheel well damage compared to other chains that install on the inner wheel.

As with all tire chains, it is important to fully consult with your vehicle's owner's manual for any additional guidelines or considerations when applying chains.
