The tire chains that fit your 2015 Fusion's 215/60-16 tires can be seen on the linked page. All are the special low-profile Class-S type that are often required for passenger cars that have limited clearance inside the wheel wells.

These Class-S chains range from basic cable types like the Glacier # PW1034 up to advanced self-tensioning types like Konig's K-Summit # th02230k34. These chains also feature easy clamp-on installation, rim protection, a quick-release feature and a 5-Year warranty.

If you really need chains then I urge you to go with a better set that includes these features. Chains that are a pain to install will tend to sit in your trunk. Chains that are reasonably easy to put on your tires will actually get used and actually do you some good in bad winter driving conditions. If you want a set in the vehicle just in case you can go with the cables.

You'll want to check your owner's manual for any guidance related to chain use. The auto maker always gets the final word when it comes to using tire chains. I reviewed the online version of your Fusion's manual and on page 299 Ford indicates low-profile chains can be used on the FRONT axle only. Your 215/60-16 tires are the only stock size that can safely use chains, according to Ford.
