Class S Snow Chains or Traction Device for 2019 Infiniti QX50

Question:

2019 infiniti QX50 chains. The owners manual says to not put chains on my infiniti bc it says it has 255/45R20 size tires. Are you aware of any options for this vehicle or would I be forced to purchase winter tires?

I highly recommend checking out the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH2004205117 which have a self-tensioning system and are very simple to take on and off.

Depending on where you live or travel it may be required by law for you to use chains or other traction devices so you would be best with a Class S chain, which will fit so long as your 2019 Infiniti QX50 has a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well and at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself as shown in the accompanying diagram.

I have added a link to a video review and road tests of the Konig for you to check out.
