The tire chains that fit the 205/60-16 tires on your 2018 Kia Niro PHEV are from Konig, and are called Easy Fit chains. There are a number of reasons for this which I'll go over, but first here is the correct part number for the chains that fit your tires:

- Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains # TH04115095

First, let's talk about the diamond pattern of the # TH04115095, which is important because it covers more of your tire than any other type of pattern for snow tire chains, helping provide constant grip. Then there is the square link of these chains, which provides very good overall traction not only in snow, but also in icy conditions.

Then there is the fact that these tire chains are self-tensioning, which means they are always going to be tight around your tires. A lot of chains require you to install tensioners separately, and even then you can't always rely on constantly good tension, which can lead to the chain not providing the best traction. But with the way the Easy Fit chains install and fit on your tires, they will always give your Kia constantly excellent traction.
