Are there any snow chains suitable for a 2007 Audi Allroad 3.0TDI fitted with 245 45 R18 All Terrain tires?

I own a 2004 Audi Allroad with the same tire size: 245 45 R18. Found my chains at Walmart for $35, don't forget the special bungies to keep them tight on your wheel. ps Chains are not illegal in all states. I believe chains are illegal in all states of the US unless you are driving a fuel tanker but I could be wrong. Although I have never seen chains in that size before. If you want better traction I suggest buying some snow tires.

What snow chains or cables are available for driving in snow conditions for a Saturn VUE 2WD?

The Saturn manual does not recommend conventional chains or cable due to tight clearances between the tire and front suspension. The Spider chains recommended by Saturn are over priced at $400 Plus. So I took some measurements and the clearances are tight. I purchase some $40 Cobra Cable chains made by Quality Chain, Hillsboro, OR for 235/60/17 tires that came with the Vue. Auto Zone selected the cables on the computer and recommended a set of cable tightners for $5. I installed the cables and tightners and check the clearances. The cable to Strut has 1" clear and the top of tire to underside of the strut spring support plate is only 1/2". So I drove it on dry asphault up to 20 MPH and had no noise. I believe cables will work well, if you keep your speed down and decrease it if you hear any metal to metal noise.
