The Glacier PWPLC1142 you refercned are no longer availalbe

Vehicles that require a Class S small tire chain, like your 2007 Honda Odyssey, refers to limited clearance tire chains that measure 15mm or less at the side walls and 37mm or less across the tread of the tire they are designed to fit.

Because your vehicle has limited wheel well and front suspension clearance you will want to make sure these chains are as tight as possible when installed on the tires. To accomplish this we recommend using Rubber Adjusters, # PW100, on your Odyssey along with the tire chains. We have a video, see link, that shows a set of cable chains and rubber adjusters being installed on an Odyssey for you to review.

You will also want to keep your speed to 25 mph or less, to reduce the possibility of vehicle damage and lengthen the life of the tire chains.

The most aggressive tire chains for your van that are also Class-S are the Titan Chains # TC1142 twist link chains in ladder pattern.

The Square-Link Snow Tire Chains you referred to, are the most aggressive tire chains we have that will fit on the tires on your Odyssey. These chains will work well for you if you use chains a lot and travel in heavy snow and ice conditions.

Finally, if you want chains that are the easiest to install and remove and provide the best ride, check out the Titan Diamond Alloy Tire Chains, TC1555. These chains are great if you have to put them on and take them off often and want to have the best ride possible when they are on.
