  • Quantity: 2 tire chains
  • Internal clearance required: 1/2"
  • 5-Year warranty


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

  • What Tire Chains Offer Rim Protection for My Size 225/40-18 and 215/45-18 Tires on My 2009 Mazda 3?
    I have a great tire chain solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry a Konig CG9 model like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CG9 # TH2004205105 that will fit your 225/40-18 tires or the OEM size of 215/45-18 on your 2009 Mazda 3. However, if you are concerned about protecting your rims, I did find a model that will fit both tire sizes that includes the same outer covered band as the CG9. That is the pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning...

  • Do Repair Links Come with the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains
    The Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01221097 actually come with some extra links that you can use for repairs. If you don't already have repair pliers then part # TCRP3S is a good option to have as they were built for snow chains. These chains will fit your 2018 Mazda 3 as long as you have the 215/45-18 size tires.

  • 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...

  • Tire Snow Chain Recommendation For 215/45R18 Tires on 2021 Mazda3
    Thanks for the photo, and your 2021 Mazda3 2.5 Turbo sedan should have 215/45R18 tires, though I do recommend verifying. If so, for limited wheel well clearance you will want Class S compatible snow tire chains, and for that I recommend an option from Konig: - Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link # TH01221097 These require just 12mm of internal clearance, and are diamond-pattern D-links which will give your '21 Mazda3 excellent traction on both snow and ice.

  • Thule Easy Fit Tire Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 245/75-16
    Konig/Thule DOES offer an Easy Fit tire chain that fits your tire size of 245/75-16! For that you'd want the part # TH04115255 and you'd be set. These chains are really nice and install in a matter of seconds so they are the best option for anyone looking for a set of chains that doesn't require crawling around in the snow to install. If you check out the review video I attached you'll see just how easy they are to install.

  • 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...

  • Are Thule passenger Vehicle Tire Chains the Same as or Made By Konig
    Konig does make the tire chains for Thule and they are under the Thule umbrella. There are a couple of ways you can search for tire chains that will fit your 2011 Subaru Outback. You can use our hitch hunter and enter the year make and model vehicle and then click on tire chains. Or you can use the link below and search by tire size. Please consult the owners manual for your vehicle as some manufacturers do not permit the use of tire chains on certain vehicles.

  • Do the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains CB12 Come with Rubber Tensioners
    The Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains CB12 # TH01221097 that you referenced actually come with a rubber tensioner built into the chain system where the face of your 215/45-18 tire will be. This is a perfect solution for your 2017 Mazda 3. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • What are the Safest Tire Chains to Use on My 2021 Nissan Kicks with 205/55-17 Tires?
    Without the exact model of CG9 Thule/Konig tire chains you have on your 2021 Nissan Kicks, I cannot confirm whether they are safe to use or not. However, judging by our available tire chains that are confirmed to fit your standard 205/55-17 tires, the safest chains we carry for them are the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit - Size K33 # TH02230K33. The reason why these chains are the safest is because no part of the Konig Premium Chains...

  • Tire Chain Recommendations for a 2015 Mini Countryman AWD
    It looks like the 2015 Mini Countryman could have 1 of 3 possible stock tire sizes, 205/55-17, 225/40-19, or 225/45-18. For the 205/55-17 size the equivalent chains are # TH00204097. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you. For the 225/40-19 tire size you can use # TH04115102. And for size 225/45-18 I recommend chains # TH00023100. The 3 tire sizes are different enough to necessitate 3 different chain models. But not matter what tire size you have on your Mini...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2014 VW Jetta with 205/65-16 Tires
    We have several different tire chain options that would be compatible with your 205/65-16 tire size. Before making a specific recommendation, I usually look online for a copy of the vehicle owner's manual to check what the vehicle manufacturer says about tire chain usage. In this instance, I was unable to find a copy, so before purchasing or using snow chains I'd urge you to check the manual and to follow any advice or prohibitions VW has regarding using tire chains.
