Question:
My car is made 2015 Ford Escape with tires 235/55-17. Do I need to buy a snow chain with S-Class compatible restrictions? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
On page 254 of your owner's manual it states that the largest chains you can use are 10 mm cables or chains only on front axle with 235/55R17 tires. Some tire chains are not Class S rated but are less than 10 mm.
I recommend staying on the safe side and use Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW2029C. These cables are a low profile so you get a smoother ride and they come with a tote for storage.
I also recommend rubber adjusters like part # PW105 to hold the chains more securely when installed.
