I have a 2012 Acura MDX with AWD. Do I need chains for all four tires or just two? If only two, which would I use?

Have you consulted your owners manual as it may properly address this. In mountainous areas such as Colorado tire chains are often a requirement when driving in the snow. As your all wheel drive system may have special requirement when using chains.

The 2wd is completely different then the 4x4. If you have the 4x4 then it's a straight swap. But the 2wd you'll need the gear boxes and diffs and drive line just too many parts. It'd b cheaper to just buy a platinum from the start.

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 purchaced mine for an awd mo it took 8.5 to fill; cvt, od, motor stabilizer mount, and torque converter it might require three to four for the fwd cvt but its better to have more than not enough. I purchaced ten b/c i live more than 300 miles from the nearest nissan dealership.

A set is two chains of the size you choose. So you need 2 sets for all four tires.

Absolutely go to the SCC website. You can key in tire size and they'll tell you the proper chain

You need to check their fitment guide (is also in their catalog). The size numbers they use for a given tire size are hard to figure out without the guide. But this is a good type of chain for using your car in deep snow. If the snow is not deep you need definitely need to keep it under ~35 mph to avoid excess noise and vibration. But that's probably true with all chains.

I have a 2004 Buick Rainier AWD and my owners manual states Do Not Use tire chains as there is not sufficient clearance and damage to vehicle safety systems could result.

I don't know - but I had a similar question about my Acura RDX. Call them - there is a huge list of cars (and bike rack setup instructions) and helpful people out there.

A pair is for TWO TIRES on a snow blower or small tractor. I purchased a pair of these chains and they seem to be well made.

I would also recommend checking the online tire size recommendations. I believe these chains will be too large for your tires, even with the tighteners.

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

As dannyffz said, you need to check the tire wall. Then you can look at this website http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction/tirechains and put your tire info and then select "Z Series" under vehicle category to see what type is recommended. Hope this helps.

You will have to the chain company about a specific chain for your tire and rim combination. The selection of chains can not be made from the vehicle model since tires vary from one vehicle to the next, even with OEM equipment. Be careful what chains you purchase for use in your area of the country. There are restrictions on the class or type of chain you can use in some areas. The chains shown with the cross chains in the illustration are good for most applications and will work well to get you out of trouble but they may expand over the tire and damage the vehicle. Check your vehicle manufactures specification for applicable types of chains and what their recommendation is.

I have a mdx 2008, I believe that model of acura went all the way to 2012, and they changed the look of the model mdx in 2013, u can look up the pic of the vechile via google, from what I see they r pretty much the same model some minor adjustments, it should fit your vechile, mine is a 2008 mdx, u can also load your in amazon and it will tell you if it is a fit, to my understanding it should fit the 2011 mdx, hope this helps

The wheel should bolt right up and handle those tires no problem with your car. We have the wheels and tires available if you want them. Thanks!

i have found that unless you're up in the mountains in deep snow, chains are a pain. they don't travel well on clear roads, so they are awkward if you have some good highway miles then off onto smaller snow-covered roads. in they end i found it better to fork out the extra bucks and get studded tires put on in the winter months.
