Will Glacier Tire Chain Cables PW1030 Fit a 2010 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 Tires

Question:

Im looking for chains or cable chains for an upcoming trip that might see some snow. I drive a 2010 Mini Cooper, tire specs are 195/55/16, will these fit? Also, which adjusters would I get, product number PW99 or PW100? Thank you!

The Glacier cables # PW1030 are listed as a fit for the 2010 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 tires. But you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if there are any recommendations or restrictions on the use of cables or chains on the vehicle.

If you go with the cables then you would want to add rubber adjusters # PW100 which are designed more for passenger car tires up to 16 inches. They help provide the proper tension on the chains. I have linked a video review of the cables to the right as well as a link to our FAQ article on tire chains for you.
