Expert Reply:
The Michelin Easy Grip Composite Snow Tire Chains, # 980100, would be a good choice for occasional emergency use at 25 miles per hour or less when conditions warrant the use of snow chains, and this model is the correct size for your 235/55-17 tire and wheel combination.
If you live in an area where snow chains are needed for longer periods or for extended driving at 30 mph or less, I would recommend an easy to install self tensioning snow chain like the Thule XG12 Pro snow chains, # TH01594240.
