Question:

Representative, I have a 2009 Honda Element EX with Michelin Defender LTX M/S P215/70R16 tires. What are the best snow chains for these tires and this vehicle? It is front-wheel drive so I think I just need a pair of chains, but please let me know if you think otherwise. Also, could you recommend tire chain tighteners and a tire chain installation safety kit? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The best set of tire chains we offer for your tire size of P215/70R16 is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH2004735235 as this chain literally installs in a matter of seconds, provides excellent traction and lasts a longer time than other options due to the higher quality metal the links are made from. These also auto tension too so you don't need to worry about that either.

If you were wanting something more budge friendly the Titan chains part # TC1550 install pretty easily and provide great traction as well. These also do not require tensioners.

A set just on your front wheels would be adequate but for the best traction running them on all tires is the best option.

We do not have tire chain safety install kits.
