Tire Chain Recommendation for 2015 Volkswagen Touareg with Tire Size 265/50/19

Published 12/28/2018

Question:

Hi! We have a 2015 Touareg with tire size of 265/50/19. Our owners manual indicates that we cant use traditional chains on this wheel size. The highest they go is 255/55/18. Do you have any recommendation? We understand their is not a lot of clearance but your site does have some chains for the 265/50/19 wheel size. Any help would be great. Trying to get to a cabin high in the Beartooth mountains of Montana and have been warned of snow drifts. Just want to be able to drive out after we shovel a path. Thank you!

You'll have to get final approval from a Volkswagen dealer but we do have tire chains that fit your 2015 Volkswagen Touareg tire size of 265/50/19 that do not require much clearance. Class S compatible tire chains like the Konig Easy Fit part # th04115265 require minimal clearance and install very quickly.

Your best option will be to contact a VW dealer near the mountains you plan to travel through and ask them what they suggest to get you through the areas that most likely require you to have tire chains. Sometimes they'll work with you to come up with a solution.
