Expert Reply:

We do have numerous tire chains that will fit the 205/50-17 tire size. I have included a link to all of the available options. The TC1038 cables you referenced will fit well.

I also recommend adding rubber adjusters, # PW99 for cars or # PW100 for trucks and SUVs, to make installation easier and to keep the chains taught on the tire. I have included a link to a video showing how the rubber adjusters work.

You will also want to check your vehicle owners manual to determine if chains can be used and if there are any restrictions or recommendations. I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ article for reference.
