Where to put Tire Chains on 2015 Subaru Forester  

Published 02/07/2019

Question:

In looking at your customer discussion for using chains on a 2015 Subaru Forester, it looks like using Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, #PW1042 with Rubber Adjusters #PW100 should work. Question: the vehicle has AWD all wheel drive. Do the chains then just go on the front?

Expert Reply:

I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2015 Subaru Forester and it says that snow tire chains should be used on the front wheels only.

The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042 will work for your Forester so long as they have size 225/55-18 tires; you will want to use the Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters # PW105 as opposed to the adjusters you mentioned because these adjusters are designed to work with 18 inch wheels like you have on your Forester. The adjusters you mentioned would not be large enough to work with these chains. I have added a photo of them on a '15 Forester for you to check out as well as a review of these chains.
