Awesome choice for snow tire chains for your 2015 Audi Q5, and I took a look at the online owner's manual, and it says that you should only use snow tire chains on the rear wheels, so you will only need two snow tire chains. For these, I highly recommend going with chains that are easy to put on and offer the best tire coverage, which are chains from Konig. The correct ones will depend on your Audi's tire size:

- 235/55-19 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01594250

- 235/60-18 Tires: Konig Tire Chains # TH01594247

These chains are great for a couple reasons, starting with their diamond-pattern, so the chains cover more of your tire than any other pattern. They also have square links, which give your tires very good overall traction on both snow and ice.

They are also much easier to install, as you just drape them around your tires, loop the cables together; then drive off; they will actually tighten around your tires and self-center. And finally, these are also Class S rated chains that have the necessary clearance required for your Audi, so they're a perfect match.
