Tire chains are normally rated for a max speed of 30 mph and this is not dependent on style or manufacturer. The Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 100 # TH01221100 are great chains for your tires and the color coding does make them easier to install. They come with a 5 year warranty and a storage case when not in use. The 12mm internal clearance required makes them Class S compatible which is a requirement from many manufacturers in their owners manual because it is a smaller chain to decrease their liability.

These are very nice chains made of manganese nickel alloy which is a hard steel construction. I believe you'll be happy with these chains.

If your wife's car has 205/60-16 tires or 215/50-17 tires that are the 2 standard sizes , then I recommend the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 095 # TH01221095 for the same fit.
