<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\nIn this article we will therefore focus on the specific and unique product solutions developed by K\u00f6nig for vehicles with limited space and chainability restrictions. Solutions designed to maintain\u00a0low dynamic profile<\/u><\/a>, adapting perfectly to the tyre and taking into account the characteristics of each specific vehicle segment. In particular, 2 main offers from K\u00f6nig are tailored to the needs and characteristics of vehicles with limited wheel arch space:<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\nClearance 0: K\u00f6nig K-Summit Family<\/p>\n\n
When it comes to clearance 0, the snow chain models per excellence are the products belonging to the\u00a0K\u00f6nig K-Summit family<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
K\u00f6nig K-Summit is the iconic, externally mounted chain ideal for vehicles with limited space inside the wheel arch.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\nA K-Summit for every type of vehicle<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\nThe K-Summit family consists of five products, each intended for a specific vehicle category with specific technical characteristics for each (in\u00a0this article<\/u><\/a>\u00a0you will find an in-depth look at the differences between the chains in the K-Summit family).<\/p>\n\n
Each of these products has basic features in common, including external mounting, attachment to the wheel nut, automatic tensioning and adaptability to a wide range of tyre sizes. These features make the K-Summit the most unique and innovative external snow chain on the market.<\/p>\n\n
Best of all, 0mm inner clearance and minimal dynamic lift!<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWith no inner connecting elements, it creates no interference with suspension struts, cables and ABS devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nThanks to the specific design and technology of its tread, K\u00f6nig K-Summit offers a low dynamic profile due to the continuous tensioning of the carbon springs on the adjusting elements along the entire tread of the chain while driving<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/div>\n\nBut each snow chain of this family is unique. In fact, each product in the K-Summit family has its own specific application and unique characteristics that set it apart. Let’s take a look at what these are and their main features:<\/p>\n\n

The ‘smallest’ of the family is intended for passenger cars and small Crossovers with a maximum unladen vehicle weight of less than 2.5t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With 0mm inner clearance and a total thickness of the chain portion on the tyre tread (in static conditions) of 12mm,\u00a0the K\u00f6nig K-Summit includes 8 chain sizes; from the smallest K11 to the largest K45 covering tyres with a tread section between 175mm and 295.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\nAs with the K-Summit, each of these models is dedicated to a specific segment of cars on the market, let’s see which ones.<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\nK\u00f6nig Reflex Family: K\u00f6nig Reflex Edge\u00a0and\u00a0K\u00f6nig Reflex Cross<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\nThe ideal solution for all cars and Crossovers where access to the wheel arch from the outside is restricted or particularly difficult.<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KONIG_Reflex-Edge_Peugeot_208_2-683x1024.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nEquipped with an automatic mounting system that is triggered by a button, the K\u00f6nig Reflex Edge and Reflex Cross are the thinnest chains in static and dynamic terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nThe components of the chain inside the wheel arch are all designed with a maximum thickness specifically created for vehicles with clearance problems in the wheelhouse arch (7 mm for cars and 9 mm for crossovers) and the low-profile links allow the chain portion on the tyre to fit tightly, following the profile of the tread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThanks to its rigid double-arch system, the chain can only be mounted working in areas accessible to the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nThe specific design of the 45\u00b0 twisted links allows\u00a0for low dynamic lift without interfering with the internal parts of the wheel arch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

When it comes to safety for heavy vehicles used for transporting people or material, prudence is never too much, and a 16 mm snow chain like the\u00a0K\u00f6nig XD-16<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0K\u00f6nig XD-16 Pro<\/u><\/a>\u00a0will take all your worries away.<\/p>\n\n
But what to do when there is not enough space in the wheel arch on your large SUV, Pick-up, Van or Commercial Vehicle to install a 16 mm chain?<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Konig-XG-12-Pro_Touareg_1-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\nK\u00f6nig developed a 12-mm chain for these vehicles with physical characteristics that enabled it to obtain dual homologation (\u00d6-Norm V5117 and \u00d6-Norm V5119), thus also compatible for vehicles over 3.5t mass.<\/p>\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/XG-12-Pro-oblique-hotspot-1-1024x922.webp\")
<\/figure>\nWith its 8-ribbed tread configuration with short links and welded double ice-breaker plates, the K\u00f6nig XG-12 Pro<\/strong> guarantees, in addition to easy fitting and low weight, to cover those vehicles between 2.5t and 4.0t with reduced wheel arch dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to its technical features and its 1-stop automatic tensioning system, the K\u00f6nig XG-12 Pro is one of the most popular chains among owners of SUVs, Pick-ups, Vans and Commercial Vehicles for winter driving on snowy and icy roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
