For your 2007 Hyundai Entrourage, the factory sizes of tires are 225/70-16 and 235/60-17. I cannot recommend any other size tires for your vehicle.

For reference the 225/65-17 tires are 28.5 inches diameter with a 8.9 inch width and 5.8 inch sidewall. Your current 235/60R17 tires are 28.1 inches diameter with a 9.3 inch width and 5.6 inch sidewall. Changing your tires would decrease the amount of contact with the road and also decrease your wheel well clearances.

I recommend the limited clearance class s chains # TC1555 for ease of installation and best traction. For a more economical option you can use the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042. I recommend checking your owners manual for any restrictions when using tire chains.
