Will Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Chains Fit 2019 Chevy Suburban With 265/65-18 Tires

Question

Question:

Snow Chains for 2019 Chevy Suburban Z71 with 265/65-R18 tires. My owners manual says to NOT use tire chains for my size tire because it will damage the vehicle. It seems like there is plenty of clearance with my suspension and you advertise that Konig Xg-12 Pro should fit. Should I be concerned?

Though we have to advise you stick with what the owner's manual says, the fact of the matter is that there are roadways that require snow chains, so you may not have any choice but to use them on your 2019 Chevy Suburban. And for your 265/65-18 tires, there is a fit with the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - XG12 Pro # TH01594267.

The accompanying photo actually shows these chains on a 2019 Suburban, and they are Class S compatible, which means they are designed for vehicles without much clearance. In the case of these chains, just 12 mm of internal clearance is needed, so as long as you have that you will be fine using the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - XG12 Pro # TH01594267.
