Tire chains always come as a set of two chains to equip the two tires of the same axle. Some vehicles can use chains only on one of their two axles so chain makers do not package them in sets of four.

Your 2012 Toyota Corolla could come with either of two different stock tire sizes, 195/65-15 or 205/55-16. The tire chains you referenced, Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1034, do fit the larger tire size but not the smaller 195/65-15s. For similar Glacier chains for that size we offer # PW1030.

Before installing any chains on your tires always be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding the use of chains. As mentioned, some cars can use chains only on one axle; others can use chains only on specific tire sizes. I found an online edition of the manual which states on page 182 that S Class chains like those noted above can be used only on the front axle.

The linked articles on tire chains may be of interest.
