Question about König Chain XG-12 Pro 240
Hello I have a VW Multivan T7 with tyre size 235/55/17, these chains are for this size. But But it's about the link height I see again and again, here it's 12mm, unfortunately I can't find any information about the possibilities for the T7. Whether this is possible. Thanks for a short feedback if this is possible or not. Greetings Dani

Snow chains with a link height of 12 mm are generally suitable for the VW Multivan T7 with tyre size 235/55 R17 if the chains are approved for this tyre size. The link height of 12 mm corresponds to the height of the chain links that ensure grip on snow.
However, with snow chains for the T7, particular attention must be paid to the clearance in the wheel arch and the manufacturer's specifications, as some vehicles only allow chains with a smaller link height or special mounting systems. There are indications that chains with a clearance of at least 7 mm are often recommended for the Multivan T7 in order to prevent damage to the vehicle and wheel rims.
As the chains mentioned here have a mounting system with cable chains and ring chains and a link height of 12 mm, you should definitely check the vehicle manufacturer's specifications before fitting or ask the manufacturer directly whether these chains are approved for the T7 with 235/55 R17 tyres. The TÜV certification of the chains is a good sign of quality, but does not replace the vehicle approval.
In short: The chains are suitable for the tyre size, the link height of 12 mm is standard, but you should check the clearance and approval for the T7 carefully to avoid damage. It is recommended that you consult the vehicle manufacturer or check the operating instructions for the Multivan T7.
