Recommended Tire Chains for 245/50/20 Tires on 2016 Honda Pilot Touring Edition

Question:

Hello, I have a 2016 Honda pilot touring edition with 245/50/20 size wheels and tires. I was looking online and found this item: Code: TC3810CAM . I wanted to know if these would fit or would there be clearance issues. If those do not fit could you recommend another item that would fit. Thanks

The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires - Ladder Pattern - V-Bar Link # TC3810CAM are not Class S compatible, so they are not recommended according to your owners manual.

Instead, I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV - Size 255 # TH04115255 which are extremely easy to install by draping and then stepping on a foot lever. These chains are made of a high quality manganese nickel alloy steel. This is the same manufacturer that made the Thule chains you asked about.

For a more economic option, I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2323. These chains are made of the same metal and has integrated tensioners to control the fit of your chain. I've attached a video of this installation for you.
