Can Tire Chains Be Installed on Front Tires Only for AWD 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
I have an AWD Hyundai Santa Fe. Do I need a set of 4 tire chains or can I get by with 1 pair? Thank you

Expert Reply:
According to the online owner's manual for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe it's recommended to use chains on all 4 tires but if you don't put chains on all 4 then you'll want them on the front wheels only. I recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual.
If you don't already have tire chains I recommend checking out the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains that use square links in a diamond pattern as that gives you the best grip and more of a consistent ride than a ladder pattern. The correct kit depends on your tire size so you'll want to choose from the following:
235/65-17 or 235/60-18 - Titan Chain # TC2319
235/55-19 - Titan Chain # TC2317
These come with a tensioning device so you don't have to purchase those in addition to the chains.
