Question:

The manual says that I cant install tire chains but use of another type of traction device such as Spring chains are allowable. What are spring chains and do you carry them?

Expert Reply:

I assume it is talking about cables such as # PW1034. But they are laboring under the assumption that all tire chains have to fit around the back side of the tires. While some chains do not have parts that fit around the back side of the tire none of those fit your tire size. Cables are still going to have parts that fit around the back side of the tire.

The cables listed above will fit the 205/55-65 tires on your 2015 Subaru Impreza but I also recommend tensioners # PW105 to keep them tight.
