I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Honda Accord Sport. It looks like there are a few possible tire sizes that this model came equipped with from the factory so you will just want to take a quick glance at the side wall on your tire to verify what you have.

The manual for your Accord says to use chains on the front two tires only and to obtain chains that are designed to fit vehicles with limited wheel well clearance.

It looks like the most common tire size for this vehicle is a 205/65R16. If this is what you have I highly recommend the Konig Snow Tire Chains # TH01221097. These D-shape links will provide excellent traction in the snow and ice and their integrated rubber tensioners allow for a simple and snug fit. These are Class S compatible which means they will work great on your Accord that has limited wheel well clearance.

The other possible factory tire sizes for your Accord Sport are 215/55-17, 235/40-19, and 235/45-18.

For this same model chain from Konig that fits the 215/55-17 tire you will want part # TH01221100 and for both the 235/40-19 and 235/45-18 the part # TH01221102 will work great.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out so you can get a clearer picture of how these install. Each set includes 2 chains so you will only need to order one set to use on your front tires.

Tire chains are typically rated for 30 to 40 miles per hour depending on the chain. The Thule CB12 chains, #TH01221102, are rated for 31 miles per hour. If you are in conditions where chains are required, going 40 miles per hour is not a good idea.…

For your tire size of 245/35ZR19 I'd recommend the Konig tire chains part #TH01221102. These are Class S compatible so they will fit well with 13.5 mm of clearance, would install easily, and will provide you great traction.

I am far from an expert on snowmobiles but one would have to think such a large truck with the correct tires and chains would be able to make it through up to 2' of snow assuming you have clearance on the vehicle. In regards to the type of tire…
