Question:
I recently purchased a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited. I just put All-Season tires on due to how terribly it handles in the snow. It still isnt handling much better. They are 17inch tires and the wheels are alloy. Do you know if I could use the Titan Chain Tire Chains - TC1540 or would they damage the wheels? Can you help me find the right chains please? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The most common 17-inch tires for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra are 215/45-17. The Titan snow tire chains # TC1540 you referenced will work but offer no rim protection or quick release.
If you are willing to spend a little more and enjoy the ease of use, I recommend the Konig snow tire chains # TH01221090 the chains automatically tighten and align as your drive. These chains will have solid grip on snow and ice and have anti-scratch nylon bumpers to protect your rims.
As a side note, always check your vehicle owners manual to ensure there are no restrictions on use of tire chains.
I included a couple helpful articles, installation video and a link to all the snow tire chains for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra to look at.
