Will The Konig KON59GR Tire Chains Damage Your Rims After Installing?

Hi John!

As long as the Konig Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Self Tensioning - 1 Pair # KON59GR is installed properly, they should not be touching your rims at all. I included an image of these installed so you can see what I mean. With that said, if you have low profile tires, they can touch them. That doesn't necessarily mean they will scratch them, but the possibility is technically there.

If you wanted to make 100% sure a set of chains will not touch your rims, we do have the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains. I included an image of the # TH02230K77 installed so you can see these installed as well. However, I will need to know your tire size to see if we have a set of these that will fit, and they are expensive. They tend to last a long time and they work extremely well, but you do pay for it. I think you will be fine with the # KON59GR, but if you wanted to explore the K-Summit option, just reply with your tire size.

Where are you planning on going where you will need tire chains?

@John Haha! The Konig K-Summit # TH02230K77 I mentioned in my answer is actually the fit for that size tire! I think I need to go get me a lottery ticket! ^___^

What about the part number for the $400 pair ? We are just going to carry them in case of emergency because some mountain passes they ask if you have chains before they will let you proceed ,,, we hopefully will never need them,,,,
