I was thinking of buying a set of tire chains (just-in-case sort of thing for those Northern excursions) and I have a question:
When I go to tirechainsdotcom and look around, they talk about the profiles of the chains a lot. When I look in my owner's manual it says not to put chains on 265 tires, but says I can on 245's, if I have to. I have the wimpy summer-tread 245's at the moment, thinking quite seriously of going to 265's now (instead of next Summer) since the chain sizes are not the same and I know I'll have 265's next year anyway.
Has anyone run chains on their Duramax? If so, can you tell me if you really can run chains on the 265's or not w/o damaging your truck and if so, which kind? I was looking at the regular square-link chains. Maybe I'm crazy thinking I need to do this. I just like the idea of being able to not be stranded is all...
Thanks,
Tim
