I have a great solution for snow tire chains on your 2013 Audi Q7. Unfortunately, the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern # TC2028 needs at least 15mm of internal clearance between the inside of the tire and the vehicle. With that measurement, these will not work with your 13.5mm clearance limitation.

With that being said, we do have a couple options that only require 12mm of clearance that fit standard tires for your 2013 Audi Q7. For these options, I recommend the following chains:

- Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # th2004705265 (fits tire sizes of 265/50-19 and 275/45-20)
- Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # TH01594240 (fits tire sizes of 225/55-18)

In order to make sure these chains will fit the size of your tires, the tire sizes are listed on the sidewall of your tires as well as the sticker on the inside driver's side door. The great thing about the Konig tire chains is that they are self-tensioning so they will not require any additional tensioners to get a tight fit. I went ahead and linked an installation video of the chains in order to walk you through the fitting process.
