We have a set of chains and cables for the tire size you have of 225/65R17 that we have both tested on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. For the chains (which will give you better traction and last longer), we have the part # TC2323.

And then for the cables (which are better for if you are need of something for one-time use), we have the part # TC2019.
