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


The Konig CB-12 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 have built-in tensioners that you can just pull taut to adjust the fit. These tensioners allow the chains to fit your tires, no matter the profile or wear pattern. And because the tensioners are built-in, you never have to worry about losing them like you might with other chains on the market.


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, youll 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 the chains.


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 and tug it until it's tight.


Stretch the hook across the tire

5. Feed the tensioning chain through as many red clips along the side chain as you can, leaving room to still be able to stretch the hook across the tire. Attach the hook to the side chain directly across from the last clip you ran the tensioner through. The hook should face away from your tire.


6. Drive forward around 325' (about the length of a football field) and stop. Check the chains and tighten them as needed.


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

  • Snow Tire Chain Recommendation with Rim Protection for a 2008 Audi A4
    I have a few sets of snow tire chains that will work with the 235/40ZR18 tires on your 2008 Audi A4, but the Thule CB12 tire chains that you referenced do not offer rim protection and they will be too small for your tire size. The Thule tire chains that will work for your car are the Konig CG9 Tire Chains, # TH00023100. These are higher end tire chains that include many great features that traditional tire chains simply don't offer. I have installed these and they're extremely easy to...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2015 Toyota Prius
    When it comes to use of tire chains the auto maker gets the final word. Toyota indicates in their online manual (pages 182/3/4) for the 2015 Toyota Prius that FRONT tires can be fitted with special low-profile S Class type chains for speeds up to 30-mph. S Class chains come in both cable and chain types. The correct size will vary depending on the tire size on the car. Do check your own printed manual in case it has different information. Your Prius left the factory with either of two...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For 2016 Toyota Corolla
    The chain laws vary from state to state, so you may want to check with which states you are driving through. The snow chains come in pairs, so you will have two chains for your drive axle. Since your vehicle is front wheel drive, you will only need chains on your front tires. I looked your owners manual up online and found there are recommendations for each size tire. Class S will meet these requirements. The Titan Cable Chains, ladder pattern will meet all you legal criteria and are...

  • Tire Snow Chain Fit on Toyota Prius with 195/65R15 Radial Tires
    Tire size is one aspect of compatibility for considering use of a tire chain; the other is the year/make/model and version of the vehicle. A Thule chain that does fit this tire size is their # TH04115080. These are the S-Class type that require less clearance in the wheel wells. The Thule chains # TH01221090 that you referenced do not fit your tire size. Auto makers get the final word on whether their vehicles are suitable for use with tire chains. Some cars can use only special low-clearance...

    First thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your 2012 Subaru Impreza to determine if there are restrictions on snow chain usage. For a similarly priced set of chains to the two you referenced that would install easily, give you much better traction and would last much longer I would recommend the Thule Chains # TH01221090. I had the chance to install a set of chains like this not long ago and was surprised at how easy they were to install. See install video. These chains...

  • Are one set of Snow Tire Chains for Two Tires on 2016 Toyota Corolla
    One set of the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01221090 is for two tires. These are a fit for a 2016 Toyota Corolla with size 205/55-16 or 215/45-17 tires and are Class S compatible so they work with cars that have limited wheel well clearance; you will need 12mm of clearance in order for these chains to work. I have added a link to a video of these chains being installed on a Corolla for you to take a look at as well as a photo showing how they look when on a Corolla.

  • Best Easy-Install Tire Chains For A 2023 Toyota Corolla With 205/55-16 Tires
    We can definitely set you up. For your 2024 Toyota Corolla with 205/55-16 tires I recommend the Konig Tire Chains # TH01221090. These are drape-over chains and will be very easy to put on. Simply drape the chains over the tire and make your connections. The diamond pattern square link chain provides constant traction and is highly durable. With proper usage, a pair of Konig chains can last several seasons. I have linked a few of our install/review videos below if you want to take a look.

    We have tire chains for almost any tire size, including your P205/50R17 size tires on your 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback. Some of these chains will be the low-profile S-Class type required on many passenger vehicles to avoid contact between the chains and components on the car. Page 8-11 of the online owner's manual for the car indicates to use only these S-Class chains due to limited clearance; these will be less likely to contact critical components like brake lines. It is still a good...

  • Can Tire Snow Chains Damage Tires
    Having metal chains in direct contact with your tires can scuff or otherwise cause some minor cosmetic damage, but this can be minimized by installing and using the chains according to their instructions. Before purchasing or installing tire chains, be sure to consult your owner's manual and follow any advice or prohibitions your vehicle manufacturer might have regarding using tire chains. It's also a good idea to get some practice installing your chains before you actually need them....

  • 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 2017 Toyota Corolla & Should They be on 2 or 4 Tires
    I googled the owners manual for a 2017 Toyota Corolla and it said that snow tire chains should be on the front two tires only and not the rear tires, so you just need two. You also need Class S designated chains to ensure you have the proper clearance, and with that in mind, the correct fit for tire chains for your '17 Corolla are going to depend on your tire size: - 195/65-15 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01221080 - 205/55-16 & 215/45-17 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01221090

  • Which Snow Chains for a 2010 Mazda 3
    Your Mazda 3, if equipped with the factory wheels and tires, you can use either the Thule CB12 Size 090 chains, part # TH01221090 or the Thule K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K23. The K-Summit Chains are the easiest and quickest chains to install. The CS10 chains are self-tensioning so unlike basic sets, these chains will tighten themselves. They take more time to install, but they are less expensive when compared to the K-Summit chains.

    The most common 17-inch tires for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra are 215/45-17. The Titan snow tire chains # TC1540 you referenced will work but offer no rim protection or quick release. If you are willing to spend a little more and enjoy the ease of use, I recommend the Konig snow tire chains # TH01221090 the chains automatically tighten and align as your drive.

  • Subaru Legacy 2004 Snow Chain Recommendation
    The best way to determine what axles of your vehicle should have snow chains installed on them is to check the owners manual of your 2004 Subaru Legacy to see what they recommend and if there are any restrictions. Having chains on all wheels is ideal though as that will give you the best traction for stopping, turning, and accelerating. You don't want to run chains on dry pavement ever. That will wear them out very quickly and will damage the road. Chains typically have a speed rating...

  • Thule Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Juke with 215/55-17 Tires
    A class S tire chain would have to have 37mm or less clearance above the tire tread and 15mm or less clearance from the sidewall of the tire. The Thule CB12 chains are only 12mm so they could be considered a class S chain and would be S.A.E. compliant. Since your 2011 Nissan Juke has 215/55-17 tires, you will need to use Thule Tire Chains, # TH01221100, which would be a proper fit for your tire size.

  • Cable Style Tire Chains for a 2015 Subaru Impreza with 205/55-16 Tires
    I assume it is talking about cables such as # PW1034. But they are laboring under the assumption that all tire chains have to fit around the back side of the tires. While some chains do not have parts that fit around the back side of the tire none of those fit your tire size. Cables are still going to have parts that fit around the back side of the tire. The cables listed above will fit the 205/55-65 tires on your 2015 Subaru Impreza but I also recommend tensioners # PW105 to keep them tight.
