Subaru 2015 Outback AWD Snow Chain Recommendation
Question:
If I am going to use spring chains, do I need to put them on all four wheels? My tires are Nokian WRG 3, 225 60 R 18

Expert Reply:
Using chains on all four tires will give the best traction for braking, turning, and acceleration. So if possible I would recommend going that route. But in most cases you can get away with just one set of chains or cables. To determine which axles your 2015 Subaru Outback should have chains installed on you will need to consult your owners manual.
The cable set part # PW1046 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your tire size so they would work great for an emergency set of cables.
For a much better set to fit that size that would give you excellent traction, would install easily, and would last longer before wearing out I would recommend the Titan Chains part # TC1555.
