Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5i with tires sized 225/65R17. I was looking to get some class S chains for a snow covered road up to my family’s cabin incase there’s a lot of snow. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on chains and if you’ve had any experience if a tire that big would rub with chains on them. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
According to the owner's manual for your 2018 Subaru Outback, tire chains shouldn't be used because of limited clearance to the inside of the wheels, however using Class S cable chains like # PW1042 on the front wheels only would be acceptable.
I'd also recommend using rubber adjusters like part # PW105 to ensure that the cables stay tight to the tires.
I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful.
