Cable Tire Chains for a 2013 Ford C-Max Energi

Question:

Will either your PW 1034 or PW 1938V cable chains work properly on my new C Max Energi? The owners manual says that tire chains are not suitable for the car.

If the owners manual says not use tire chains then I cannot recommend going against that. However, it is a Catch-22 because in some areas of the country, chains are required by law. I would speak with Ford to see how they handle that discrepancy.

If they allow you to use chains then you could use either # PW1034, and rubber adjuster # PW99, that you have referenced if the tire size is 225|50-17. If you have a different tire size, let me know and I can make other recommendations. I have included a link to the chains for that size and to an FAQ on chains for you.
