Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.


The Konig CG-9 tire chains are great all-purpose, winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice, these Konig chains are perfect because they're durable, easy to mount, and give you constant traction - and they're lightweight and compact, so they store in your vehicle nicely too. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.


These chains are among the easiest and fastest to install because they self-tension and self-center as you drive, ensuring a perfect fit, no matter the profile or wear pattern of your tire. Plus, you only have to get out of your vehicle one time - once they're installed, there's no need to drive forward, stop, and recheck their tension.


Class S Designation

SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.


SAE Class S Clearance Diagram

These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:

  • A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
  • B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle

Confirming Your Fit

If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.


We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.


You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. Even these low-profile chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.


Installing Tire Chains

Installing these chains is incredibly simple.


Lay chains on the ground to get all the tangles out

1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in them.


Connect the ends of the blue cable

2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the blue cable, which will sit behind the tire.


Connect the hook and link in front of the tire

3. Around front, connect the red hook to the red link.


Feed tensioning chain through clip

4. At the bottom of the tire, feed the tensioning chain through the large clip. Pull it and secure to the red hook attached to the tensioning cable.


Stretch the hook across the tire

Drive forward so that the chains can self-tension and self-center, giving you a perfect fit.


Quick Tips:

  • Lengthen the life of snow chains by drying them after each use before you store them.
  • Check out our installation kit with safety lights and a kneeling pad (PO34FRK) to make things a little easier when you're installing cables out in the snow.

How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.


Tire size on sidewall

185/60-15

  1. (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
  2. (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
  3. (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Prius with 195/65R15 Tires
    For some standard chains I really like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH2004205080 for the 195/65R15 tires on your 2011 Toyota Prius. These are fairly easy to install and the self-tensioning feature means that these will sit snug on your tires. If you're looking for something a little fancier then check out the Konig Easy Fit CU9 # TH04115080 which are arguably the easiest chains to install on the market. You literally drape them over and then step on the tensioner...

  • Tire Chain Solution for 2013 Subaru Impreza with 205/50-17 Tire Size
    For some areas of the country you have to have a set of tire chains with you otherwise you won't be allowed to travel there. Where it gets interesting is when manufacturers say you can't use chains on the vehicle but you are in an area that does require them. What we often have to recommend is to find a Subaru dealer (in your case) in the area where chains are often recommended and ask what they suggest that will allow you to be legal and not damage the vehicle. Some dealers have solutions...

  • Tire Chains for a 2013 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 Tires
    The old tire chain paradox: owners manual says no chains but in some places the law requires chains. It is related to Reno's Law which states that if chains are required by law then of course the vehicle owners manual says not to use chains. It happens a lot and I know exactly the type of chains you need. The good news is that all of the cables and chains for a 2013 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 tires are Class S compatible which means they require very little clearance. I have linked the...

  • How to Attach the Blue Cable in Thule CG9 Tire Chains with Low Clearance Wheel Wells
    First of all, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if chains can even be used. On many vehicles with limited clearance, the owners manual will say not to use them or to use specific chains. On the CG9 chains and similar Thule chains, what you can do is fish the blue cable behind the tire (the cable comes apart to one straight piece) and then pull it up that way. I have included links to some videos on similar chains that will help explain it. I have also included...

  • Do Snow Chains Have A Speed Rating And How Do They Install On A 2009 Nissan Sentra
    Snow chains are typically rated for speeds of 30 to 40 mph. The Thule CG9 Snow Tire Chains, # TH2004205080, is a top rated snow chain from Thule for your 2009 Nissan Sentra. It has the self-tensioning feature which allows easy installation and the chains will tighten and self-center on the tire as the vehicle is moving. Always consult your owner's manual for any limitations or restrictions on the use of tire chains.

  • How to Determine Clearance for Snow Chains on a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer with 215/40R17 Tires
    Since the tire size that you have, 215/40R17, is wider than any of the OEM tire sizes for your Lancer, you will need to measure to make sure there will be more than 9mm clearance between the tire side walls and tread and the vehicle fender well and suspension components, to use the Thule self-tensioning, low-profile snow tire chains, # TH2004205080. If you determine that there is not at least 9mm of clearance for snow chains you may be able to use the K-Summit tire chains, # TH02230K12....

  • Which Thule CG9 Self Tensioning Self Centering Snow Chains fit a 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback
    According to my research, the stock tire size for the 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback with 195/65-15. If that's the size tires you have, the Thule CG9 chains, part # TH2004205080 would be the correct chains for your tire size. If this isn't your tire size, please let me know the size and I'd be happy to make a recommendation. Before purchasing or installing tire chains, consult your owner's manual for any advice or prohibitions regarding chains.
