The Thule snow chains you will need to fit a 195/60R15 tire is the Thule CB12 Snow Tire Chains, part # TH01221070. These snow chains have an internal clearance of 12mm, which means it is a SAE Class S compatible snow chain. A Class S snow tire chain has to have an internal clearance of 15mm or less. That measurement means the clearance between the tire sidewall and the closest part of your vehicle. Some of the newer vehicles with larger tires recommend Class S snow chains because of limited tire clearance.

You will need to check your owners manual or with the Hyundai dealer to determine if you can use snow tire chains on your Hyundai Elantra, or if there are any limitations.

The Thule CB12 Snow Tire Chains, part # TH01221065, will not fit a 195/60R15 tire size.

I am including a link to a video review of the Thule CB12 snow tire chains.
