Recommended Snow Tire Chains For A 2021 Audi Q7

Question:

Hi, I have a 2021 Audi Q7 with 285/40-21 tires. The Audi manual says chains are only permitted with certain rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons but it doesnt say which ones, and to use fine-mesh snow chains that dont add more than 13.5mm in height including the chain lock. Your site recommends the Konig K-Summit XXL size K67. First, will these in fact work for me? Second, is there a cheaper option than these since I dont anticipate using them much and these are very expensive.

Yes, the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K67, part # TH2004565767, does fit your 2021 Audi Q7. This snow tire chain is tensioned via attachments to the lug nuts of your vehicle's wheel. As a result, it fits on the tread of the tire and the front of the wheel and not the rear of the wheel. The problems that occur with snow tire chains and tight clearances are almost always related to the chain on the rear of the tire. One of the more common issues is interference with ABS sensors or the systems. Unfortunately, this is the only snow tire chain that we offer that fits your vehicle.
