Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
The Konig CG-9 tire chains are great all-purpose, winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice, these Konig chains are perfect because they're durable, easy to mount, and give you constant traction - and they're lightweight and compact, so they store in your vehicle nicely too. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.
These chains are among the easiest and fastest to install because they self-tension and self-center as you drive, ensuring a perfect fit, no matter the profile or wear pattern of your tire. Plus, you only have to get out of your vehicle one time - once they're installed, there's no need to drive forward, stop, and recheck their tension.
Class S Designation
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
- A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
- B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle
Confirming Your Fit
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. Even these low-profile chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Installing Tire Chains
Installing these chains is incredibly simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in them.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the blue cable, which will sit behind the tire.
3. Around front, connect the red hook to the red link.
4. At the bottom of the tire, feed the tensioning chain through the large clip. Pull it and secure to the red hook attached to the tensioning cable.
Drive forward so that the chains can self-tension and self-center, giving you a perfect fit.
Quick Tips:
- Lengthen the life of snow chains by drying them after each use before you store them.
- Check out our installation kit with safety lights and a kneeling pad (PO34FRK) to make things a little easier when you're installing cables out in the snow.
How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

Easy on after untangling. Safely up the mountain with no problem. Easy off. Found that individually bagging each chainset reduced tangling and eased storage in the provided carrying case. Hope this helps. Thanks etrailer.com for being there.

Great customer service, easy size guide. Great selection.
by: Simon 02/27/2023
These fit fine on stock-size tires, and ran pretty smoothly on snow covered roads. Other than the untangling issue other reviews mention, these chains are pretty easy to put on. My initial install was in the snow. Initial side took several minutes to put on, but once figured out, other side went on much quicker.

We put the chains on the tires, but have not used them yet.
Very easy to put on. The instructions aren't very good relative to the cable that goes on the rear of the tire. The key is the cable is put on behind the tire, not around the outside of the tire. By holding the two ends of the cable at the top back of the tire, you can easily connect the two and hook up the other chain connections.
No issues removing them either. It does help to have the tire in the same orientation, which is easy by using the large red connector as focus. Doesn't have to be exact, but you may have to move the car because part of the chain may still be under tire.

good product but beware dmw owners. you can get these on but it's a tight fit. there's not much room to get your hands in between the tire and the wheel well. i did it in sunny conditions and it was not easy. in snow and cold all the much harder. the chains are a solid product. shipping took a couple days longer than expected so order early. i hope i don't need to use these but at least i have them if needed. btw 2014 428i
by: E.Mann01/29/2017
Quick shipping and excellent customer service from the crew at eTrailer. I'd definitely buy from them again.
These chains work great and are easy to install. They remove easily too; I'm expecting the lack of the quick releases and other tricked out features to be a feature in itself due to reliability. Recommended.

Fast shipping, and when I tested the chains, they were super easy to install and worked as expected. Thank you so much!

Put-On Effort: 3 stars - super easy to snap on ~3m) but a long time to untangle (15m)
Take-off Effort: 5-stars (<3 min)

2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
The chains were very easy to install - particularly for a first-time user. My wife and I were able to quickly understand the installation process. The chains do tend to get tangled during storage and presents the biggest challenge. But once untangled, you can install both sides in just a couple of minutes.
Now we wait for an opportunity to use them....

I have not had the opportunity test/ try the product. My only review at this point is the product shipped very quickly and was well packaged. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the product is in a carrying case. No more loose chains spreading all over the cargo area. The weather should be nice this weekend so I hope the product goes on as easily as seen in videos.

Just received the tire chains. I have not had a chance to fit them to the car yet. Shipping was on time. So far, no issues.
by: Paul12/14/2017
Quite the pain to untangle the chains each time. Overall quality appears decent, but the use of some plastic in the construction of the chains will need to be tested once used on the road. Install and removal simple enough. Cheap "gloves" and "kneeling pad" are included. Probably toss them, as they are rather useless - made of very thin plastic like a trash bag.

- Snow Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2009 Volkswagen TiguanThe first thing you will want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for any recommendations or restrictions on tire chain use. Some vehicles need a specific Class of chains. For the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, if your owners manual states you can use chains, I recommend the Thule CG9 Pro Chains, # TH2004205104. These are the proper sized chain for an SUV with 235/50R18 tires. The chains are easy to install and will tighten themselves as you drive. These chains require 12 mm of clearance...

If you're needing to use actual chains then I have a few options that are Class S compatible and will fit the 225/60R17 tires on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. The Konig CB12 # TH01221104 are the next step up, will be easier to install, and will be a major upgrade to entry-level cable-style chains when...

The CG Tire Chain # TH2004205104 will require 9 mm of clearance. If you have that much clearance already then these would well too.

Cables are lower profile, easier to use, and are less-likely to damage your vehicle if they somehow come undone while driving.

That being said, I recommend going with a cable setup, but I will give you options for each style. If...
