Snow chains for a model Y
- Thread starter Myounghermosa

I clicked the "notify me when available" button and got several notifications. One I ignored, the next I responded to within two hours (and discovered that I hadn't acted fast enough, they were already sold out) and the third time was the charm. They seem to restock the tire chains pretty frequently.

After going through many threads here and seeing several people’s experience with the Konigs causing damage, I decided to try these Peerless chains, and they definitely fit the 20” induction wheels with stock Goodyear tires. They don’t seem like they will cause damage based on where they are sitting, but I also have Rim guard on them. Just an FYI.

FYI the Tesla 19"/20" chains are back in stock: https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-y-19_20_-snow-chains
Ordered mine yesterday.
Ordered mine yesterday.
+1 The Konig chains available on the Tesla website for the MY will shred the 20" induction wheels. DO NOT BUY OR USE THESE!!!!
Return them!! Check the damage. You can clearly see in the pictures on the site that the chains rest against the wheels, even with the buttons they ground thru my MY 20" wheels (and many others).
I haven't order mine yet but my brother using AutoSock on his Model Y with great success. You can check the correct part number at autosock.us then order thru Amazon. Also, check with your state for compliance. Here's the link for the one for Gemini on Amazon: https://a.co/d/7rA6ooG
Hi,
Someone on the review page said the 697 size was too big for 255/45R19. That's what's recommended on the autosock site as well as what you linked. Did yours fit well?
This is the reality if you live in California and plan to visit the ski resorts.
"There are 3 ways to and from Big Bear Lake, CA. During the winter months of November - April, motorists may encounter traction chain controls in the mountain areas within California. By law, snow chains or cables must be carried in your vehicle at all times during winter months."
Real-Time Road Conditions and Snow Chains Requirements to Big Bear
Similar snow chain or tire cable restrictions apply during winter storm conditions on I-80 to the Lake Tahoe region.

In many states studded tires are not legal for street use. In the mountains and in some western states studded snow tires are the norm.
Here are the facts regarding studded tires for passenger vehicles:
https://www.tirebuyer.com/education/studded-winter-tires
There are six states that have no restrictions on the use of studded tires. In Kentucky, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, and Wyoming you can use these tires as you wish.
Metal studs are prohibited in 11 states: Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Texas, and Wisconsin (some of these states allow tires with rubber studs; Maryland allows studs only in certain counties). Only six states permit the use of studded tires without restriction: Colorado, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, and Wyoming. Most of the remaining states allow studded tires with date restrictions. For example, in Washington State where the TireBuyer offices are located, studded tires are permitted from November 1-March 31.
and the thing is no one cares lol have a few friends in Minnesota who all run nokian metal studded for years now as at the end of the day being safer out weighs most peoples thought on "oh i hope i dont get pulled over because my car has more grip than others"
