Question:

Expert Reply:
If you have the 215/65R16 tire size, then you will need to look at the ladder style tire chains like part # PWE2216S. If Subaru requires Class S chains, then you will want to look at the Glacier Cable Chains, # PW2016C.
Be sure to check your owners manual for tire chain restrictions. Some vehicle manufacturers have speed restrictions and require Class S tire chains only. Class S chains require the least amount of clearance above the tire tread.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on snow tire chains. It will contain basic guidelines on snow tire chains and the page will also list the snow chain laws for each state.
