The chains the "RADIAL CHAIN by SC" model # CH 2311T
Tire size is meant for the wrx, or else i would've never bought it.

because.
california state law says you need to carry snow chains with you at ALL times when in the snow.....regardless of the kind of drive your car is.
Depending on the level of chain controls they can make you put chains on your AWD/4WD cars.
That's why.
