I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Honda Accord Sport. It looks like there are a few possible tire sizes that this model came equipped with from the factory so you will just want to take a quick glance at the side wall on your tire to verify what you have.

The manual for your Accord says to use chains on the front two tires only and to obtain chains that are designed to fit vehicles with limited wheel well clearance.

It looks like the most common tire size for this vehicle is a 205/65R16. If this is what you have I highly recommend the Konig Snow Tire Chains # TH01221097. These D-shape links will provide excellent traction in the snow and ice and their integrated rubber tensioners allow for a simple and snug fit. These are Class S compatible which means they will work great on your Accord that has limited wheel well clearance.

The other possible factory tire sizes for your Accord Sport are 215/55-17, 235/40-19, and 235/45-18.

For this same model chain from Konig that fits the 215/55-17 tire you will want part # TH01221100 and for both the 235/40-19 and 235/45-18 the part # TH01221102 will work great.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out so you can get a clearer picture of how these install. Each set includes 2 chains so you will only need to order one set to use on your front tires.

I do have some traction device options for 235/40R19 tires on a 2023 Honda Accord but the Glacier Tire Chains 1046 are not a fit. There isn't actually any tire cable options due to the odd tire size but we do have socks like the ISSE Classic Snow…

The link you provided only redirects but it looks like you have the 225/60-17 tires on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. All of the available chains have a max speed of 30 mph which is the standard. I recommend getting square link chains so either the…

Both the Thule snow chains #TH2004205104 and #TH01221104 are Class S compatible so they will work in that regard. The S rating means they have a very low amount of clearance required to clear you steering and suspension components on your vehicle. I…
