My 2003 Acura TL manual says "metal link-type chains shouldn't be used [since they can cause serious damage]" but Amazon says these fit. What's true?

While they will probably fit, the fact remains that if a link breaks at speed the remaining links will beat against the underside of the wheel well and/ or side of the vehicle. I use mine at low speed and only as long as necessary. They are really easy to put on/take off so if you use them don't take any chances. Practice putting them on in a warm garage so you are familiar with the method.

Good question! Have you checked the owner's manual? Acura should have a web site that details compatibility. I'd even call a dealer and see what they use/recommend. They will definitely have the item's model# and you can use that to shop. Hope this helps! Peace,

The answer posted by Hunt Ma is the right answer. You don't need a link. But if you want spares, you can go by the number of speeds it is designed for. 6-7-8-speed chain is wider than 7-8-speed chain. (Z-72 is 7-8-speed chain). Always go with chains and parts designed for the same number of speeds. Finally, if you have an 8-speed cluster, chains designed for 6 as well as 7or 8 speeds don't shift as cleanly due to the slight extra width.

Mr. Collins ,The items I ordered & installed were an exact fit with NO issues. I have experienced that over 25 years of foreign car ownership & part replacement , over time, all plastic parts become flimsy and brittle. Mass production and cost - cutting by manufacturing yields these results. Hope this answers your concerns. ron

hey john theese are excellant chains---look at buying them for your tire size---I never put mine on---don't need them on a snow blower unless your going up an icy hill

These DO NOT fit an 2014 Acura TL. You may need to check with your Acura Dealership as McGard does not show anything for the TL, only the RLX.

The best thing to do is call the company. They have a tech rep who can answer the question. When I talked to them, I learned that the fitment charts change from time to time based on a number of factors and the tag on the chain container does not always have the most current info.

Hi Joseph. I originally bought the 9800500 size chains to use on my PT Cruiser, which has 205-55x16 tires. (A little shorter and wider than yours but pretty similar.) They were really, REALLY tight and a pain in the ass to put on. I recently bought a new set and went one size larger, I think they're 9800600. They are much easier to put on and still fit nice and snug. If I need to replace them again that's what I'll get. And another word of advice for you - I find that these chains work well but you want to be careful to always avoid spinning the wheels. I was trying to climb a steep hill in very icy conditions that were just too much for the chains to cope with. The wheels spun, the car slipped sideways just a few feet and that caused the chain on one wheel to slide off to the inside of the wheel. It got torn up on the suspension, no damage to the car but that's why I bought the new set. Obviously, I like them enough to buy a new set but I'll be more careful with them now and I'd recommend everyone else should be too. Tom

I would say yes because Honda/Acura are the same maker and I can't see that they would have changed tose . Makes the job alot easier when you have these.

Yes, these rims were the design fitted on the TL from 04-06. The rim design changed for the 07 model year but both rim designs are a 17" X 8" so you will not have an issue fitting these on your car. I put these on an 03 CL with no problems. Great price and quality to match.

I have a 2002 Nissan xterra and they fit you will have to go to Menards and by different bolts don't use the ones that come with it they will break. I did not believe they would break but sure enough even with using torc wrench they snapped. They work well no problems so far I have had mine for 2 months now.

I would call the parts department at an acura dealer to confirm that. Give them the part # and they should be able to look it up for you.

These chains were bought for small lawn tractors. Which they fit. But these will not fit on automobiles. You probably need to look for automobile or truck tire chains.

I agree with Ken S response. I would add you may not have to remove the links but just connect at the link that provide the tighten the chains as desired.

Hi Silver Fox, My database is designed to only tell me what came on the car for those years. I am showing this came on the 2004-2006 Acura TL models. It may fit but you would need to check with a custom shop or Acura for fitment.

I don't know if it will fit, but don't buy a cheap China made pos if you want to use your car for more that a few months. My Timken's have held up very well (and cured a 70mph vibration problem in my Buick).

Thanks for the info. Based on my information the TPMS sensor should fit. You might want to check with Honda just to be safe.
