My sister is in the market for a pair of snow chains for her 2025 Forester Touring. I doubt she will need them but it is good to have a set on-hand for "compliance reasons" should chain controls be in place.
Her tire size is 235/50-19. Subaru sternly warns against using any chains due to clearance issues, but I found this pair of chains from König that appears to solve the clearance issue:

These chains use a very unique securing mechanism that eliminates the typical clearance issues, but it sounds like the design is prone to installation error. I have seen some mixed feedback on the Tesla forums, mainly due to product failure from incorrect installation.
Does anyone have experience with this particular product?
