Snow Tire Chains For 275/65-18 Tires & Diamond-Shaped D-Links
Question:
2014 gmc 2500hd 275/65/18 Ill be towing a 34 ft. 7000 lb camp trailer for some winter camping. I want to be prepared. Looking for some D-Link diamond pattern chains, I think. Can you give me proper options?

There are two options for snow tire chains that fit size 275/65-18 tires and are diamond shaped with D-links. Both are from Konig, and are the following part numbers:
- Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # KON84FR
- Konig Snow Tire Chains # KON94FR
There are a couple of big differences between these chains, with the biggest being the install. The Premium # KON84FR install on a lug nut and do not go behind the tire or touch your wheel at all. This negates any issue with clearance or a scratch/scuff to your wheel. You also don't have to tighten them, you just put them on, drive off, and you're set. The standard # KON94FR are a traditional type of install, but do include rubber tensioners so you can get a tight fit.
The other difference is the Premium # KON84FR comes with ice breaker links between the chains to break up ice, so they'd be better if you are going somewhere with a lot of ice.
So this really comes down to if you want the fastest, easiest chain to install and will be going to an area where ice could be an issue. If so, go with the Premium # KON84FR. Otherwise, if you don't mind taking some more time to install the chains, and you won't be dealing with as much ice, go with the standard # KON94FR.
