Question:
I am looking for some snow chains for my 2015 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Premium which has 225/55R18 tires. I am having a difficult time determining if any snow traction devices will work with it. Can you help?

Expert Reply:
The snow chains I recommend for your 2015 Subaru Forester are the Pewag Snox # PWSXP570 because the diamond-pattern, square-link chains provide excellent traction in snow and ice. It's recommended to put the first set of chains on the primary drive wheels.
Always check your vehicle owners manual to ensure there are no restrictions on use of tire chains.
I have included a few FAQ's about install tips and snow chains as well as a couple installation videos for you.
