Restrictions for your vehicle...
Our snow chains suppliers tell us that your vehicle and tyre size combination is not suitable for traditional chains larger than 9mm; this is probably because bigger chain links could snag on the shock absorbers. We believe that all the chains shown below are safe to use; the front-fixing “ladder track” chains do not put any chain behind the tyres.
"Max 9mm" - Chains larger than 9mm are not suitable for this vehicle and wheel size combination. - Traditional and automatic snowchains:

  • Automatic chain tensioning saves time and effort
  • The asymmetric diamond pattern improves traction
  • 9mm chains are often the maximum permitted link size on some cars
More >
If clearance is limited behind the wheel these 9mm chains may be your only option, but they're a good option. CG chains have the following features:
  • an asymmetric diamond pattern to prevent the chain getting stuck in the tyre grooves and to improve lateral stability and, above all
  • Konig’s superb automatic chain tensioning system which constantly seeks to keep the chains as tight as possible and saves you the hassle of getting out of the car again after a hundred metres or so and retightening the chains. When you come to fit the chains at the bottom of the hill leading to a ski resort you’ll probably find several long lay-bys which are designed for "stopping again", but it’s not always so easy or convenient, especially in a blizzard!

    The K-Summit is what we usually call a “Ladder track chain”, because a ladder of chain is placed around the face of the tyre, braced off a mechanism which is fixed onto one wheel bolt. There’s no chain inside the wheel.

    These chains are particularly suitable where there’s minimal distance between the wheel and the wheel arch, a typical feature of many rear wheel drives with large alloys. If you can't get your forearms into this gap then the K-Summit is your only König option.

    They’re also easy to fit and remove and, because you don't have to put your forearms over the tyre, you shouldn't get dirty slush on your forearms or clothes.
