Comparing the Konig XB16 and XG12 Tire Chains for My 2006 Sprinter Van
Question:
Looking at the Konig XB16 and XG12 for my 2006 Sprinter Van It looks like the XG12 is a lot easier to put on. Im worried it doesnt have thick links though and wouldnt be as durable as the XB16. What is your advice? What if any warranty is offered on these?

Expert Reply:
The Konig XG12 Pro # TH01594245 tire chains will be easier to install on the 225/76-16 tires for your 2006 Dodge Sprinter, but you are correct that you need to go with the XB16 # TH01571245 instead. I recently reached out to Konig who said that the chains themselves don't necessarily have a weight rating but the smaller chains don't work well for larger vehicles like your Sprinter as they can be damaged. The XB16 chains will work great for your application though so that's what I recommend going with.
