Helpful Expert Reply:

First thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your 2008 Volkswagen Beetle to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage. As long as your tire sizes are either 205/55-16 or 225/45-17 I would recommend the # TC1134 as this is a ladder chain like you said you were interested in.

The # TC1134 is also confirmed to fit the two tire sizes we have listed for your 2014 VW Jetta SportWagen as it looks like both of your vehicles could have the same two tire sizes possible.

I attached an install video to the right that shows these chains installed on a Jetta very similar to yours plus an FAQ on snow chains.
