One or Two Sets of Tire Chain Cables for 2006 Kia Sorento EX 4WD
Question:
How many cables is recommended for a 2006 Kia Sorento EX 4 wheel drive? Is it 2 or 4? If 2, do they go on front or back wheels?

Expert Reply:
For 4WD vehicles, either one or two sets of chains can typically be used. If one set is used, they would be placed on whichever axle has the primary drive wheels. If the primary drive wheels are on the rear axle, I would also chain up the front wheels for improved steering response.
Before choosing or installing tire chains, please consult your owners manual or your dealer to determine if Kia has any specific recommendations or prohibitions regarding tire chain usage. I have linked you to our Tire Chain FAQ article that you might find helpful.
