Many passenger vehicles do indeed require low-profile tire chains that can fit within the limited space in the wheel wells. These special low-profile chains are referred to as S-Class chains. Your owner's manual (or local dealership) should be consulted prior to use of any tire chain.
If you click on the link provided you will be taken to our main page for tire chains for the 2014 Subaru Forester. At the top of the page you can click on the tire size you have to see compatible tire chains.
If your Forester has 225/60-17 size tires we do have several options for you in S-Class chains from Glacier and Thule. These range from cost-effective basic chains for occasional use such as # PW1038 to advanced self -tensioning types from Konig such as # th02230k45.
Three linked articles will give you plenty of useful general information as well as details about both Glacier and Thule chains.
