Post Tire Chains for 2012 TSX

Any suggestions on a "quick install" type of tire chain for an 2012 TSX?

I had the Les Schawb Alpine Premier for my 2011 (same tire size) and the size they gave me (confirmed my stock tire size was listed on the actual chain tag) didn't fit my tires. I had them cinched up as tight as possible, and they were still too loose.

I've also read conflicting reports about chains not being able to be installed on TSX's because of clearance issues?

Thanks much for any info you could send my way.

Conventional chains don't work well with our cars. I'd opt for a set of snow tires and augment that with Autosock or Spikes Spider - both of which will work.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not an option for me. In Portland, I need chains for maybe 3-7 days MAX a year. Ill keep searching for "low profile" chains... someone mentioned that the "z-cable chains" work well with our cars....

Cables with rubber adjusters are way to go on smaller cars.
