- Can Tire Chains Be Used On a 2015/2016 Subaru Forester or 2017 Subaru Outback?
- The Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains, # TH2004205104, will give you enough clearance because they will adjust tension and not just have slack in the chain. If you are concerned about the seeming contradicting information, you could go with a cable chain like Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW1042. With these style chains, spring rollers are wrapped around sturdy wire cross cables. With this product, Rubber Adjusters like # PW100 are recommended.

view full answer... - Should Snow Chains be Installed on the Front or Rear of a 4 Wheel Drive Toyota FJ Cruiser
- When adding snow chains on your 4 wheel drive Toyota FJ Cruiser, you can add one set of tire chains to either set of drive wheels. Some people like to add chains to the front because the vehicle engine puts more weight over the front axle and allows the chains to dig into the snow and ice better. This might be a good option, but if your vehicle is equipped with a limited slip rear end and the front end is not limited slip, most likely not, you would be better off with the chains on the...
view full answer... - Tire Chain Recommendations for a 2017 Subaru Outback with 225/60-18 Tires
- Subaru tends to say that you cannot use tire chains in the vehicle owner's manuals and the 2017 Outback is no different. But if you are somewhere where chains are required by law you don't really have a choice. The law is the law.
So what I recommend is going with something that requires the least amount of clearance. For your 225/60-18 tires the best option are the K-Summit chains # TH02230K66. They are expensive but they are built to last and no part of them will be between the inner...
view full answer... - Tire Chains Recommended for 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon with 2256R17 Tires
- I was able to find an online edition of the owner's manual for the 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. On page 8-12 it indicates that tire chains are not recommended due to limited clearance within the wheel wells. It further states that if traction devices are used they must be the S-Class type which are low-profile in design and more compatible with passenger vehicles that have limited wheel well clearance. Subaru says chains can be used on the front tires only.
In reality, some municipalities...

- For the tire size you listed the Thule K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K45 are confirmed to fit and would be the best shot at a set of chains that would fit without issue on your vehicle.
Most of the time the reason tire chains aren't recommended for certain vehicles is due to inner wheel clearance between the tire and the vehicle body or frame. What is great about these chains is that they do not drape of the inner sidewall of the tire at all so there would be no clearance issue there....

- The first thing I would recommend you do is check the owners manual of your 2007 Mercedes GL450 to see if there are any restrictions on snow chain use.
In an all-wheel drive vehicle you will want to at least put one set of chains on the front wheels. Like you said, that way you have traction on the wheels that do the steering and the majority of the braking.
Hills are also managed better with chains on the front wheels instead of the back. We had a snow chain rep tell us that when...
view full answer... - Snow Chain Recommendation for a 2005 Honda Accord with 205/60R 16 size Tires
- The chains that feature actual chain instead of cable should provide you with more traction than the cable snow chains, therefore giving you better handling and control.
However, since your owners manual specifically says to use low clearance cable style chains you should stick with their recommendation and get that style snow chain, otherwise you may damage your 2005 Honda Accord. I recommend you get Glacier Tire Chains for the 2005 Accord by Honda, part # PW1934V.

- For a 4 wheel drive vehicle like your 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD with 265/70R16 all terrain tires ideally you would want to put chains all on 4 wheels since that will give you the best possible traction, but if only one set of chains is used you would want to put them on the rear axle.
The general rule for AWD or 4WD vehicle is that if one set of chains is used you want to put them on the main drive axle. For your vehicle that would be the rear axle.
