Fit of Konig Self-Tensioning Tire Chains TH01594245 on 2005 Lexus RX330

Question:

Will these work on a LEXUS rx330 2005 model with 225/65/17 tires? The manual says to put them on the front tires. Thank you for your input.

The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Chains you referenced, part # TH01594245 will indeed fit the 225/65/17 tires on your RX330. These chains need only 12mm of internal clearance, and are ABS, ESP and ESC compatible. This chain kit is easy to install.

You will want to check with your owner's manual for any other advice or prohibitions regarding tire chain use.

Once you get your chains, I'd recommend doing a dry run and install them while the vehicle is in your driveway or garage. If you ever need to use them, you'll be familiar with the install procedure.

I will also link you to our Tire Chain FAQ article that might be helpful.
