For your 2018 Audi Q5 that has the 18 inch tire size of 235/60-18 we have a few options but for a "just in case" set to keep on you the Glacier Cables part # PW2029C would work well to get you out of that type of situation and are priced really great.

The Konig K-Summit Set part # TH02230K66 that you referenced would be a really great option if you were looking for one of the best options that's easy to install, requires basically no clearance to fit, provides great traction, and will last a long time with great rim protection. But the price is higher.

For a set that installs in a matter of seconds the Easy Fit part # TH04115247 would be really nice as well.

For something priced lower but still is a solid set with good traction and an easier install the Titan chains part # TC2319 would work too. If I were in your situation this would probably be what I would go with since they are lower price and would last better than the cables.

The fat tire straps for the Kuat NV 2.0 #BA22B can only accommodate tires up to 5" so the 6-1/2" tires won't work with this bike rack. Since none of the bike racks are going to be able to fit those tires, I recommend the etrailer…
