Per the owner's manual for your 2013 Outback on page 8-11 it states you cannot use tire chains on the vehicle due to lack of clearance.

We are aware that there are some places where tire chains are required by law and our thought is that you have to follow the law when traveling. I have a solution that could work for you.

I recommend the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks, part # TCH70. These slip over your wheel like a glove and have steel rivets on the fabric to give you the traction you need. When using these you are limited to 30 mph. A pair of gloves and a tote bag are included.
