What Konig Snow Tire Chain Do You Recommend For My 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE With 225/60R 18 Tires

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE Hybrid with 225/60R18 tires. Im looking at your snow chain options including: 1. TH01594245 - 12mm clearance 2. TH01571245 - 16mm clearance, not S compatible I do not see that the Toyota manual specifies S compatible but wondering if you knew if either one of these would work or if I should go with the lower clearance option. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.

Even though the owner's manual of your 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSWE Hybrid says you do not have to use Class S compatible snow chains, I would stick with the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 245, part # TH01594245. The Class S snow chains are designed to fit wheel wells with tight tolerances. I did see, in your owner's manual, that you cannot use the LTA system when you have these snow chains installed on your tires. So at the very least, when snow chains are installed, there may be some interference with some of your safety systems. I would rather be safe than sorry.

I have included a product description link and a video installation link below.

Hey Bruno, What's your tire size? I'd prefer to confirm if the Konig Commercial Truck Tire Chains #TH01571245 is compatible. The owner's manual for a 2017 Ram ProMaster 2500 states to only use tire chains on the front axle only. Since…

One big difference between the XB16 chains like part #TH01571245 and XG12 chains like the #TH01594245 is the link size which is hinted at in the title of the chains. The XB16 requires 16 mm of clearance and the XG12 only requires 12 mm. They are…

Hey Paul, Unfortunately we do not carry the Konig XD-16 tire chains for that size tire that you mentioned. We do however carry a set from pewag for those 37x12.5R18 tires #PWE3235S. This is a ladder pattern square link set of tire chains that are…
