2011 Subaru Forester Snow Chain Recommendation 225/50R17

Question

Question:

Hi Guys I am interested in the Thule CG9 snow chains for my vehicle. But it seems every chart I look at skips my tire size225,55,17? Why would they work for 225 50 17 but not mine? Chain size 100 seems correct? I really just need them to go 150 feet up a steep snow covered driveway...please advise if I can do so with care.

I checked with Thule and the CG9 Thule Chains Size 103 part # TH00023103 that you referenced have been confirmed as a fit for your 2011 Subaru Forester with 225/55R17 size tires.

You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to check for any snow chain restrictions.
