It says its not a fit for 2018 rav4, but it lists the correct wheel size. What am I missing?

Expert Reply:

Snow Chains are sold based on the tire size on the vehicle. The 2018 Rav4 were sold with two tire options; the 235/55-R18 (SE, Limited, Platinum, or Adventure) or the 225/65-R17 (LE, XLE) If you have a different size tire let me know and I will adjust the recommendation.

For the 235/55-R18, or the 225/65-R17, I recommend the Pewag # PWSXV580 snow chains. They are so close in size that they use the same chain. This chain is easy to install, has a diamond chain pattern that works very good in snow and ice, and it is self-tensioning.

If you are getting your safety equipment put together for this car, you should consider the Orion # RN8907-01 Roadside Emergency Kit which includes jumpers, first aid, and more. Also take a look at the Savior # SA54FR pack of LED Safety Flares. These are awesome for bringing attention to your vehicle when you're stranded at night.

I included a video showing the install on a Rav4.
