Question:
Hello. Im in the market for tire chains for my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 17 wheels. I used your search tool and came up with these choices: https://www.etrailer.com/chains-2018_Subaru_Crosstrek.htm?fUrl=-c2-2257c607e17X I have two questions: 1. What are these chains speed rated for? 2. This is an AWD vehicle but Im only planning to use one pair of chains. Would you recommend putting them on the front or back tires? Thank you.

The link you provided only redirects but it looks like you have the 225/60-17 tires on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. All of the available chains have a max speed of 30 mph which is the standard.
I recommend getting square link chains so either the Konig # TH01221104 with assisted tensioning or if you're willing to spend a bit more the # TH2004205104 which is self-tensioning. According to what I saw in the owner's manual the chains should only be installed on the front. I recommend double checking to verify this information.
