König K-Summit Snow Chains

König K-Summit snow chains are a premium external-fit option for vehicles with limited inner wheel clearance.

They mount externally to the wheel nut or bolt rather than wrapping behind the tyre, making them ideal where standard chains cannot safely fit behind the wheel.

Fitment reminder: Tyre-size matching confirms chain-to-tyre fit only. It does not guarantee your vehicle has enough clearance. Check your vehicle manual, confirm approved axle position, or use the König fitment guide before ordering.

Fitment reminder: K-Summit is a zero-clearance external chain, so it avoids the inner wheel arch clearance issues that stop many standard chains from fitting. Match your tyre size carefully before ordering. For NZ ski roads, avoid using K-Summit on unsealed gravel or dirt sections, as small stones and grit can get into the mechanism and cause issues.

Choose Another If...

Pick XG-Cross, XG-12 Pro or CG-9 if your vehicle manual allows standard chains and you do not need an external-fit setup.
