Fitment and Compatibility of Thule Tire Chains on a 245/45R19 Sized Tire for a 2016 Hyundai Tucson
Question:
Im purchasing a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with 245/45R19 tires and like the look of the Thule 2004125105 CS10 snow chains as recommended for this tire, however, when I specifically look up recommended chains for the 2016 Hyundai Tucson with 245/45R19 tires the 2004125105 doesnt get a mention. Is there a reason for this or is it simply an oversight?. They will be used on mountainous gravel roads in icy areas as well as on road, so I was looking for a bit more than an entry level chain like the XB. Thanks for your advice. Cheers,

Don't worry, I can help explain.
The CS10 TH2004125105 will indeed fit your vehicles tire but won't handle off road situations as well as the Thule XB16 # TH01571245 tire chains will.
There are tire chains designed for passenger vehicles and ones that are designed for the truck/suv applications. The tire chains designed for passenger vehicles will fit the truck/suv tire sized the same but not all truck/suv tire chains will fit the passenger vehicle sized tires. This is due to clearance and S-Class compatibility.
Tire chains that are rated as S-Class compatible are suitable for use on passenger vehicles that have limited clearance in the wheel wells. Unlike a vehicle like a pickup truck that generally has a good bit of room inside the wheel wells, many passenger cars have little extra space around the tires. For these vehicles low-profile S-Class chains are often required by the auto maker.
The best tire chains we offer for your tire size, vehicle, and driving situation are the Thule XB16 # TH01571245 on and off road tire chains. These chains will require 16mm of clearance in the wheel well.
