Make sure you have clearance between your tires and the fenders, and watch out for any wires routed inside the fenders! I'd buy the V-bar style of chains, and put them on the rear tires. Don't buy cheap chains!! Buy a good set, and they will last!! Once installed, use strechy straps to keep the slack under control. V-bar chains do give you pretty good traction on ice and hard packed snow!!
