I bought a set of the Tesla Trak snow chains for my Model S through the TMC forums from another owner. The chains were lightly used and had all the original instructions from the manuafcturer and the Tesla instruction guide as well (so I know they are authentic). I am running Goodyear P245/45-19 all weather radials on 19" Tesla Slipstream wheels . When I tried to install the chains in preparation for apredicted snowfall this afternoon, the 21mm lug nut clamp on the chains won't fit over the Tesla lug nuts on my wheels. They appear to go on about 1/8" and then stop - like the lug but is tapered or something. I tried a few 21mm soxkets I had in my tools and found the same thing - they won't fit completely onto the (supposedly) 21mm lug nuts.

Anyone had a similar issue or know how to resolve this?
