Question:

Hi, I have a 2022 Audie Q3 with 255/40 R20 tires. The manual says that chains should add no more than 10.5mm in height. Do these Konig chains meet that requirement? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The XG-12 Pro Konig Tire Chains # TH01594247 you asked about for the 255/40R20 tires on your 2022 Audi Q3 require 12 mm of clearance so for your application I recommend going with the Easy-Fit for your tire size:

Konig Easy-Fit Tire Chains - # TH04115247

These only require 9 mm of clearance and are designed to be extremely easy to install and remove which is definitely appreciated when you think about the conditions that would cause you to have to put chains on in the first place. The storage bag has the instructions printed on them and you can use it as a kneeling pad as well to try to keep dry while you're out in the elements.

I know these are more of a premium option than what you were looking at but it's definitely worth it when you think about driving safely while avoiding damage to some of the inner workings of your Audi.
