Chains should be placed on the main drive wheels of a vehicle but can be put on all 4 if you wanted to. On a front wheel drive vehicle they would need to go on the front. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for information on the use of chains with the vehicle.

For a 2008 Honda CR-V I show the tire size as 225/65-17. I have included a link to the chains recommended for the 2008 Honda CR-V with this tire size.

If you have a different tire size you can use the chain fit guide, linked, to see the available chain options. I have included a link to some tire chain FAQ articles as well.
