Konig Tire Chains to Fit 235/50R18 Tires on 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4-Matic
Question:
I want to get chains for my Mercedes 2019 GLA 250 4matic, specifically the Thule / Konig easy fits. On the expert response, there is mention of tire sizes e.g. 215... I have 235/50R18 as the code on my run flat tires. I think the # TH2004735235 chains will be the correct fit. True? Thanks.

All tire chains fit multiple tire sizes. The Konig Low-Pro chains # TH04115103 that you referenced fit several sizes but they do not fit your 235/50R18 tires. Chains that do fit your tire size appear on the linked page. These are all low-profile S-Class chains that feature automatic tension control for the most secure installation on your 235/50R18 tires.
The compatible Konig chains most similar to those you looked at are their K-Summit chains # TH02230K45. These are premium-quality chains made in Europe and due to their quality they carry a 5-year warranty. Another good option is the Konig Low-Pro # TH04115240.
Their unique design means that they require zero internal clearance on the inside of the tires. They will make no contact whatsoever with your wheels; they only touch the tire tread surface. Manganese nickel alloy steel construction means they will hold up and improve your traction on snowy and icy road surfaces.
As with any tire chain, never drive faster than 30-mph and always remove the chains as soon as you reach clear pavement. Some auto makers recommend installing chains on only either front or rear tires so have a look at your M-B manual for guidance.
