Question:
Will these snow cables fit 275/35-20 tires on a 2008, Audi A8L. There seems to be very little clearance between the inner sidewall and what I think is part of the suspension. Please advise. Thank you

We do carry tire chains that will fit a 275/35-20 tire size. There are 2 options. First is the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # PW1042, that you have referenced. This is a basic set of chains designed for occasional use. The second option is Glacier Square-Link Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # TC1146. The square links in these chains offer more grip on snowy or icy roads. For either set it is recommended to use Glacier Rubber Adjusters for Class S Snow Chains - 1 Pair, # PW100, to make it easier to tighten the chains. Each set of chains requires at least 15 millimeters of clearance.
It sounds as if you have aftermarket wheels and tires on your 2008 Audi A8. Ordinarily, you would check the owners manual to determine if tire chains can be used and if there are any restrictions. If these are aftermarket tires and wheels, you will need to go to an Audi dealer to determine what, if any, chains will fit before you buy them. I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ below for reference.
