Question:

Hello, I have a 2016 Kia Sorento LX FWD and I am looking for a pair of snow chains for my 235/65R17 wheels. I may be driving 3-4 times a year in snow, so, I thought of getting the TC2319. However, the user manual only states tire chains thickness less then 12mm. So, I am wondering whether the TC729DC would be the better option. Do both products fit my Kia and which one has the better driving performance? Best regards,

Expert Reply:

The Titan Chains part # TC2319 that you mentioned are a fit for your tire size of 235/65-17 and are Class S compatible which means they are compatible with vehicles that require chains with less than 12 mm of thickness.

It's much more expensive, but the Konig K-Summits part # TH02230K66 are the best option. These require no clearance at all due to how they install, are easy to install, and will last much longer than the Titans. This would be basically the best option you'll find.
