Recommended Tire Chains for 2002 Mazda Protege  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Yes, we sell our tire chains as a set of two chains, one for each tire on the same axle. If your Mazda owner's manual says your car can use chains on all four tires then you would order two sets to equip all four tires with chains.

Your 2002 Mazda Protégé came with two stock tire size options, either 195/50-16 or 195/55-15. Before selecting chains check your tire size (its indicated on the tire sidewall) and review your owner's manual for any guidance regarding use of tire chains on your car. Some cars have to use special low-profile chains, called S-Class chains, such as Thule's K-Summit chains # TH02230K12. Your owner's manual will tell you what Mazda says about chain use. I reviewed an online version of the manual and it indicated chains can be used on all four tires, but check your manual to be certain.

Once you know your tire size and have reviewed your manual you can use the link provided to select your tire size to then see compatible chains. If all 4 wheels can use chains this will give you both improved forward traction and improved braking/steering performance. All tire chains require reduced driving speed, 30 mph usually.
