Question:

Hi there, Do you know if the KONIG XG-12 PRO 240 will be a good fit for my 2016 VW Tiguan R-Line with 255/40/R19 wheels? I dont want anything too expensive, but also dont want scratched rims. Thanks!

The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH01594240 are an excellent option for a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line with 255/40-19 tires. I actually just installed a set of these and was blown away by how much easier they were to install than other similar options. Furthermore, the Konig Tire Chains are actually considered a premium option due to the self-tensioning mechanism and the wheel protection. The other thing that sold me on the Konig Tire Chains was the contents of the kit. The kit came with laminated instructions so they don't get destroyed by getting wet, a durable storage case to keep in the vehicle, and a kneeling pad so you don't get wet installing them in the snow.

Last but not least, the Konig Tire Chains have a diamond pattern so you will always have a constant contact patch with the road/snow which provides much better traction than some of the ladder style I am sure you are used to seeing.
