Have been looking for a proper snow chain for my 2019 AWD Signature (225/55/R19 tires) for a while. Tried Class "S" cable SCC ZT729, doesn't look like it's clearing rubber(?) damper behind tire. Konig Summit K55 or K66 which doesn't need any clearance, but prohibitively expensive. Les Schwab, Alpine and Konig metal chain may or mayhave the same clearance proble, I'll have to try each one of them to find out.
Somehow, this Michelin Easy Grip chain alternative was on my phone, probably from Amazon marketing. Anyway, looked pretty good, so searched for a few chain alternatives. This Easy Grip performs very well on snow, braking on snow doesn't look hindered. Not sure how well it works on ICE and if it's approved for use on US highways as "traction device". But I believe with my AWD CX-5 with 3PMSF all-weather tires should be counted as traction device and good for R2 condition. Unlike so called "zip-tie" style alternatives, this one looks to last many seasons with occasional use. Anyone have any experience with this Easy Grip chains?
Most people, including myself, buy snow chains for just in case, but never use them. OK, I used maybe a couple of times.
