Recommended Tire Chains for a 2016 Hyundai Tucson

Question:

Need tire chains for my 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. The owners manual recommends against any! My car has the 19 in aluminum wheels with 245/45 tires. Saw the Thules..will they actually fit my car and minimize potential wheel damage?

Usually when your owner's manual discourages use of tire chains it is because there is not enough clearance from the tire to the wheel well for you to properly use the chains. If there is not enough space it can lead to damage to your 2016 Hyundai Tcuson.

Sometimes chains are legally required in certain areas, whether the manufacturer recommends using them or not. If you decide to use tire chains, the Thule Easy Fit # TH04115245 has the least amount of clearance needed.
