Best Snow Chains for Tire Size 255/55-17

Question:

Hi, I was wondering if you could suggest chain or cable for my custom fit tires of 225/55/17 Falken All Weather tires? It’s 2wd but I’m not sure if I need more than two and what wouldn’t void any warranties that I currently have.

The best tire chain option for your tire size of 225/55-17 is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH2004735235 install in a matter of seconds, provide great traction, and require minimal clearance to fit. Since you have snow tires already you'd probably be okay with just a single set installed on the rear axle but if you wanted max traction and safety a chain on all four tires would be ideal.

You'd have to check the owners manual of your vehicle for any tire chain restrictions but these are Class S which means they require minimal clearance like I mentioned and typically if there's a restriction for a vehicle it's that they chains are Class S rated or better.
