Tire Chain Recommendation for 2017 Kia Soul with Size 235/45R18 Tires

Question:

Can you tell me if your snow cables will work on my 2017 Kia Soul without interfering or doing any damage to my brakes or other parts? Also would I need 4 or a pair? My tire size is: 235/45R18. Thanks,

I pulled up the owners manual for your 2017 Kia Soul and it states that tire chains can be used on your vehicle with two stipulations. You have to use them on all 4 wheels, and you need to use S-Compatible chains which require less than 15 mm of fender to tire clearance.

For your tire size of 235/45R18 I would recommend the part # TC1553 which is a fit for your size and is Class S compatible. It is also easier to install than most cables. These are sold in pairs so you would need a quantity of 2 of these.

Check out the install video I attached that shows them installed on a similar Kia Soul.
