Question:

I am wondering if one set of chains can fit our two Subaru Outbacks. We have: 2013 Subaru Outback, P225 60R 17 and a 2000 Subaru Outback, P225 60R 16. Will the Thule CB-12 fit both cars? Are those chains my best option? If so, is there just one model of CB-12s or are there different sizes within that model? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The Thule tire chains will not fit both tire sizes but you could use the Titan Chains # TC1138. They do fit 225/60-16 and 225/60-17 tires. These will also work for vehicles requiring Class-S low-profile chains. I recommend adding the rubber adjusters, # TCMA2.

Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manuals for specific information on the use of tire chains. I have included some video links and a link to our help article on tire chains for you to the right.
