Expert Reply:
The correct Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chain for your 2012 Hyundai Sonata is the # TC1038 if you are planning on using these as an emergency chain.
Finally, if you are going to be in an area where you will definately need tire chains, the Thule # TH01221097 is a solid choice. These chains have a D-shape links and are corrosion resistant.
The Glacier chains are DOT compliant and Class S rated. I have attached short installation videos on all three choices for you.
When using these chains, the recommend speed is between 25 and 30 mph. To give your chains a more snug fit, check out the Glacier Rubber Adjuster # PW100. I also have a video attached for the adjuster on a similar vehicle.
I have also attached a FAQ covering general tire chain issues.
