Tire Chains that Offer Rim Protection for 2005 Infiniti G35 with 225/50-17 Tires

Question:

I am planning on driving my 2005 infiniti G35 Coupe to the snow late this month and I was wondering if you have tire chains that might fit it. It has 17 inch wheels with 225/50/17 tires. I don't want to use something that might damage my rims. Thanks

Thule offers their low-profile chains, part # TH00023100, that would fit your tire size and would offer protection for your rims.

Before purchasing or installing chains, be sure to consult your owner's manual or Infiniti, for any advice or prohibitions they have regarding tire chain use. Doing an installation 'dry run' is also advised, so you'll be fully familiar with the installation procedure when you actually need the chains. Trying to figure out how to install them while kneeling in a snowdrift would not be fun.

Thule chains offer a 5 year warranty.
