Getting ready (Mid-February) to make a trip to west coast from Missouri. Many areas I travel through require chains or at least that you carry chains.
My question is, I need a recommendation for quality set of chains that will fit 295/65R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock 2022 Platinum F-350 SRW wheels.
I run the round twisted ones.
. These are pretty substantial chains. Square link has better ice grip but is hard on roads and sometimes tires. V-bar is mostly for off highway, very low speeds and expect road damage. Get a pair of the center bungees, very handy.
I run V-bars with cam locks on all 4 tires. As Ridgeway stated, V-bars are very aggressive so depending on where you use the chains you may not want to get those.

I suggest taking the SOUTHERN ROUTE to the west coast!

Even in Colorado, the chain requirement usually only applies to commercial vehicles. Non commercial vehicles are ok with 4x4, winter tires or chains. In 30 years, I have never run chains on the highway. Maybe just me, but if conditions require chains on the highway, time to take a break. For off-highway, I have had good service from Peerless Chains
But they are not the best type of chain. Realistically I don't think you're looking for a chain that you can run 1000's of miles on. You're just looking for a quick-on get over the pass and pull them off chain. Pretty much anything you find that is the correct size will do that for you. Aside from the super cheap cable crap anyway. Whatever style you buy make sure you test fit them and be damn sure you're not going to tear anything up. Brake lines are pretty important I hear....
Try to hit the passes at around mid day and drive within your capabilities. And before you go have your tires siped. If the tire shops don't do it down there find a dirt racer and he'll hook you up. Terra Grapplers are decent tires, but unless they are brand spankin' new they need a little help to be decent on snow and ice. A bunch of siping will make them stick pretty good. My Terra Grappler G2's were passable the first winter. Next one I tried to get through I had to slice 'em up.
If you've never chained up in a blizzard and don't have tons of practice with this sort of thing, I highly recommend the quick fit type chains. And while I doubt you'll need to use them I seriously suggest you install them at home to see what's what.
ETA: Where are you headed on the West Coast? I just looked online a few places and chains seems like they are kinda hard to come by right now. If they have Les Schwab Tire stores where you are headed you might try calling them and seeing if they'll ship you some. I just got some quick fit chains from them a month ago as I needed to make a move from Eastern Washington to Western Montana. Had to have the chains just in case. Anyhow Les Schwab will take the chains back if they are unused.
Les Schwab QUICK FIT CHAINS I want to say they were less than a $150 for a pair.
Hanging in the bed of my pickup same size you run 295/65r20.
I have your tire size in Yokohama and got a pair from e-trailer for a little over $100. They were on sale. Been about three weeks or so. Test fit in the driveway and all good.
If you're not going off-road, get a set of S-Class chains for the front. That's all you'll need for on the highway or around town. I have both S-Class (post #11) and ladder style (post #4). If I'm on pavement, all I'll use is the S-Class on the front tires unless the snow is super deep and I really, really need to be somewhere.

I've never had to chain up in my life. With that said, I assumed I would put them on the rear?
