Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
It's not a matter of getting though the snow. I have no doubt that the 4WD will be good enough. The issue is the requirement of the DOT to carry and install traction devices during certain weather events. As I said before, the timing is not always convenient.- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
It's not the relatives causing the trouble, it's the GMC vehicle. I just can't imagine a 4x4 SUV that can't go in the snow :( I didn't want the 22" wheels and let the dealer talk me into them. What a mistake. I guess I'll know for next time. I intend to use cable chains on the rear wheels only...- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm still missing something. Doesn't the speedometer/odometer/gearing, etc. all depend on the outer circumference of the tires? In my case, the Yukon has 22" wheels and low profile tires - doesn't that mean the outer circumference is the same as a smaller wheel...- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
I think that even if you have a 4WD with snow tires, you're still required to carry the "chains" with you (this is what I got from the CA DOT site, I think). It's not really how much I want to drive in the snow. It that I want to be able to travel to visit relatives - which requires that I cross...- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I am definitely not "set on chains". However, the area through which I need to travel in the winder requires "something". They say "chains", but I think they actually mean "Tire Traction Devices", which I assume includes chains, cables, etc. What I'm trying...- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
How can I tell if there is adequate clearance without taking the chains on the road? Won't the action of compressing the suspension change the clearance, especially while turning? Is there someone that knows whether or not I can safely use a particular make/model of cables on my vehicle/wheel/tire?- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
For example, when I look at Chain Requirements for the State of California, it refers to "Chains Required" but doesn't say anything about cables. I've heard them referred to as Cable Chains - is it possible when the California says "Chains" they mean chains or cables?- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
So do you think the owner's manual was really just saying "don't use chains" while cables are okay? The traction devices I've been looking at (which claim to fit my tire/wheel) appear to be cables.- Mark Hansen

Tire Chains on 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels?
We have upgraded to a 2018 Yukon Denali with 22" wheels (the tire size is P285/45R22). One of the main reasons we want a 4WD SUV is for traveling from the Sacramento CA area to the Salt Lake City area around the end of December to visit relatives. This trip requires that we carry (and if...- Mark Hansen
