Hey Andy, yes the Konig tire chains part #TH01221104 that you referenced are a fit for your tire size of 265/30/R20 but they are not your best choice since you have limited clearance. Instead what you would want is the K-Summit chains part…

Hey Chris. The only concern I would have is the capacity of the glass with the extra weight placed on it. The SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier item #298-SK2425 is definitely going to work though. The manufacturer has approved this type of use.…
Marvin, I reached out to Thule about these and they got back to me that the feet are not made to be disassembled. I am not sure if you were to try that you would be able to get them back together. Is it just a small piece inside that sounds like it…

Hey AM! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C33MJ has a tongue weight rating of 525 lbs so the hitch itself can handle quite a bit. When I looked up the owner's manual for your 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid it looked like they have the max tongue weight…

The Yakima LongArm, part #Y01149 has a lot of range to it, and can be adjusted to several different positions right out of the box. For use as a roof rack extender, you can add the Extension Kit, part #Y01150 to make the bar much longer, and add…

What’s the best way to haul my skis or snowboard?
The best way to transport skis or a snowboard depends on your vehicle and how much gear you’re carrying. Roof-mounted ski racks and rooftop cargo boxes are great for keeping your gear secure and out of the way. If you prefer easier access, hitch-mounted ski and snowboard racks allow for loading at waist height. If you need extra space for boots and gear, a roof box provides enclosed storage to keep everything dry and protected from road salt.
How do I pick the right snow chains for my vehicle?
Snow chains need to match your tire size, road conditions, and clearance space. Diamond-pattern chains offer the best traction for icy roads, while cable-style chains work well for vehicles with limited tire clearance. Some states require specific chain types, so it’s important to check local laws. If you’re unsure, look for self-tensioning chains for easy installation and a secure fit.
Should I use a rooftop box or hitch carrier for winter gear?
Use a rooftop box if you want weather protection and extra cargo space. Go with a hitch carrier if you need easy rear access or are carrying bulkier equipment. Both work well—just choose based on convenience and what your vehicle supports.
What kind of roof rack do I need for a ski or snowboard carrier?
If you already have crossbars, most ski racks will fit. If not, you’ll need a base rack system that matches your vehicle’s roof type—bare, raised rails, flush rails, etc. Make sure to check weight capacity and fitment details before buying.
How do I install and take care of my snow chains?
After using tire chains, rinse off any road salt, dirt, or snow. Let them dry completely before storing to avoid rust. Store in a dry bag or container, and inspect for wear before your next trip. Quick-cleaning extends their life season after season.
