Tire Chain Recommendation for 265/45R20 Tires on a 2020 Porsche Macan S

Question:

I have a Porsche Macan S 2020 with AWD and All Seasons Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Are these chains compatible with my vehicle? Would I put them on all 4 wheels? Would I ever need these except in extreme conditions?

Thanks for reaching out!

The Glacier Cable Tire Chains you need for the 265/45R20 tires on your 2020 Porsche Macan S is part # TC3010, but I only recommend grabbing these chains if you are just trying to stay legal and you don't actually plan on using them. Cables have a smooth surface and are cheaply made so they are almost a one time use kind of product.

For your application I actually recommend going with the Konig Tire Chains # TH2004705255 instead for a few reasons; they have better chain design and quality so they will last, and the inner workings of the chains are protected to offer better protection for your wheels. This set also has built-in self-tensioning so you just have to get the chains snugged up to your tires and the self-tensioning does the rest!

Attached are review videos of both tire chains for you to check out and see the difference for yourself. Be sure to also check your owner's manual for instructions on if, how, and when you can install tire chains.
