Expert Reply:
The online owner's manual for your 2014 Acura RDX says on page 309 that chains are to be installed on the FRONT tires only and that low-profile S-Class chains are the type that should be used. These are commonly recommended for passenger cars since they still work when there is limited space inside the wheel wells.
For the RDX stock tire size 235/60-18 the best S-Class chains are the Konig Diamond Pattern K-Summit set # TH02230K66 which are shown in the linked photo. These premium chains are easiest to install, they will not scratch your rims and they adjust their tension automatically to ensure they are snug and secure. These S-class K-Summit chains use a diamond pattern for good grip in both forward and sideways directions. You can check out the linked video to see how they install and function. All chains for this tire size appear on the linked page.
If you prefer a lower cost option that is still S-class consider the Konig XG12 Pro chains # TH01594247. These will not be quite as easy to put on but they do still include the same diamond pattern cross chains, rim protection and automatic tensioning features.
