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

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2011 Ford Fusion w/ 225/50 R-17 Tires
    Yes, they will. The CG-9 Konig Tire Chains item # TH00023100 do work on 225/50 R-17 tires and actually do a better job of protecting your rims and require less clearance then the Konig CB-12 item # TH01221100. These will work great on your 2011 Ford Fusion. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them set up.

  • Recommended Tire Chains For A 2024 Subaru Impreza RS
    For your 2024 Subaru Impreza RS with 225/45R18 tires you'll need a class S compatible tire chain set like the Konig Tire Chains # TH01221100. The manual states that you can only use chains on the front wheels so just this set is all you'll need. I've attached a video below where Zach will walk you through the installation process.

  • Tire Snow Chains for 2018 Honda Accord With 235/40-19 Tires
    I do recommend sticking with the manufacturer's recommendation, though if you are going to use chains on your 2018 Honda Accord the Konig # TH01221100 (if your tires are sized 225/50-17) or # TH01221102 (if your tires are size 235/40-19 or 235/45-18) require only 12 mm of clearance from the top of your tire to the wheel well.

  • Recommended Snow Chains for 2016 Honda Accord Sport
    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Honda Accord Sport. It looks like there are a few possible tire sizes that this model came equipped with from the factory so you will just want to take a quick glance at the side wall on your tire to verify what you have. The manual for your Accord says to use chains on the front two tires only and to obtain chains that are designed to fit vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. It looks like the most common...

    I attached a link to this page that has all of the tire chains we offer that fit your tire size of 205/55R17 on your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. The best option that I would recommend is the Konig Easy Fit tire chains part # TH04115097 which install literally in seconds, provide great traction and clearance, and will last you a very long time.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 235/40-18 and 225/40-18 Tires
    Before you select a set of tire chains you will need to review the owner's manual for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf. From my research, tire chains can be used on the vehicle if they are installed only on the front two wheels and are less than 15 mm thick. With that being said the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains are only 12 mm thick therefore will work well for you. However, for the 235/40-18 tires you will want to use part # TH01221100 (Size 100) and for the 225/40-18 tires you will want to...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2013 Volkswagen Passat with 235/45 R17 Tires
    The Thule Chains part # TH01221100 that you referenced have been confirmed to fit the tire size 235/45-17 that you referenced and they are diamond pattern so they should work well for you as long as the owners manual of the vehicle says that chains can be used on this vehicle. I attached a review video for this set of chains for you to check out as well.

  • Will Tire Chain Size for 215/55-17 Also Fit 215/50-17
    Not all tire chains will have the same exact fits. There can be a bit of overlap between tire size ranges but in general the size lists won't always match. The Konig Tire Chains part # TH01221100 that you referenced does fit the size 215/55-17 but not the 215/50-17.

  • Snow Chain Recommendation for 2007 Acura TL
    The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1038 you referenced will work for your 2007 Acura TL and are easy to install and comply with all Department of Transportation use. The typical tire size for your car is 235/45-17. If your tire size is different, I can recommend another set of chains for you or you can check out our tire chain fitguide to see what tire chain works for the size of tire your vehicle has. I have posted a link to that page. I have also included a link to a video showing...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Tire Sizes 215/60R16 and 235/45R17
    Tire chain fits are very specific. Rarely do we see a customer be able to do what you are wanting to do and use one set of chains on both vehicles. The part # TH01221100 will fit the 235/45R17 but not the other size. For that you would need the # TH01571225 which are a fit for your tire size 215/60R16 and are very similar to the other set.

  • Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for 1995 Cadillac DeVille with 215/70-15 Tires
    I found a copy online of an owner's manual for a 1995 Cadillac DeVille and in the section under "Tire Chains it stated that you can use tire chains but they must be Class S chains and on the front tires only. For your '95 DeVille with 215/70-15 tires I highly recommend the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01221100 because their D-shape links provide great traction and they are made from manganese nickel alloy steel for both optimum durability and resistance to corrosion.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid
    When determining if a vehicle like your 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid can safely have snow chains run on it you will need to consult the owners manual or contact the manufacturer. If your owners manual says you can use chains and you have the 215/55-17 size tires on your vehicle the Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH01221100 that you referenced would be the correct ones to use. These are a great set of chains that are pretty easy to install. I had the chance to install...

  • Tire Chain Options for 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium
    There are two stock tires sizes that came on the 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium, P235/45-17 and P245/40-18, and we have tire chains for the P235/45-17 size that you can see by clicking on the linked page. For a cost-effective set of chains to have in the car just-in-case (or to meet a legal requirement) you may want to use the cable type chains like # PW1038. On the other hand, if you actually expect to have to install tire chains you may want to invest in a better set that will be...

  • 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. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you to view. I have also...
