Best Snow Tire Cable Chains for a 2016 Subaru Forester with 215/70-16 Tires  

Updated 11/28/2022 | Published 11/25/2022

Question:

Wondering which cable chain is best for our Subaru forester outfitted with 215/70/R16 snow tires. I see there are Titans and Glaciers that look like they would fit. What is the difference? Which is best choice? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The best snow tire cable chains we offer for a 2016 Subaru Forester with 215/70-16 tires are the Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains part # TC339DC since they have a diagonal pattern which works better to improve traction while turning than the traditional ladder style and they come with rubber adjusters that work to provide a constant tight fit so you're always getting the best performance.
