Thule has some great chains called the K-Summit. I have 19" and they do not have chains that will fit this year. Emailed and it sounds like they may have a size that fits the 19" next year.

You can check out their XG/CS series chain or SCC Super Z6.

fyi chains provide better grip, but you can't go too fast with them on. cables provide less grip but allows you to drive slightly faster.

Chains is a generic term these days... kind of like Xerox. Only time I see actual chain-chains on a vehicle these days is on semis, snowplows or some other kind of commercial vehicle.

yes, i understand that. i was just throwing out some additional information just in case if someone was contemplating what the difference was between chains and cables.
