What Tire Chains Do You Recommend for a 2021 Honda CRV with Tire Size 235/60-18?

Question:

Do you folks have a particular recommendation for either snow chains or maybe nylon straps ? for a 2021 Honda CRV FWD. I live in Arkansas close to Texas and very likely never will need anything like that here. Every couple of years, though, in November I drive to Colorado to visit family. Theres never been a snow event while I was visiting, but there could be one day. When my wife and I go there this year in our new CRV I want to be prepared, just in case. So, do you have a particular recommendation on either steel chains or something in nylon, or anything, for my car. Again: 2021 Honda CRV, FWD. Thanks!

In order to get the correct fit of tire chains on your 2021 Honda CRV FWD to make your Colorado visits stress free, I had to do a bit of research to discover the factory tire sizes on your tires. I found out that the most common factory tire size for your model is 235/60-18. In order to know if these are your tires, I recommend checking out the numbered size on the face of your tires. Another location of your tire size is on the inside of your driver's-side door frame.

For a 235/60-18, I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains for SUVs and Crossover Vehicles # TH01594247. These Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains include dual-side, d-shape links for increased traction during travel. In addition, the chains come with anti-scratch nylon bumpers that will protect your rims. The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains come in packs of 2 and are confirmed to fit your 2021 Honda CR-V. In fact, I went ahead and included an installation video that shows how to install the chains on a 2019 model. If you need assistance with wrapping the chains around your tires, I recommend the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Passenger Vehicles # TCMA1.

Also, if you run into a snowstorm, you can be more prepared with a Hopkins Ice Hammer Ice Scraper with Snow Brush # HM16511.
