Snow chains from Honda Odyssey?

[mccolt]

Would I be able to use the snow chains from my old Honda Odyssey (size 235/65R17) with my new MME Select (tire size 225/55R19)? Thanks...

Manual tells you no.

As Rick said above, the owners manual specifically states not to use snow chains/cables on the Mach-E. It recommends to use winter/snow tires instead. While it might be possible to fit them on the car, there is VERY little room between the back side of the tire sidewall and the suspension which is the reason they do not recommend it.

I don’t live in one of those places, but aren’t there roads where chains are legally required at certain times in the winter? Is 4WD with snow tires good enough, or are these simply no-go for MMEs?

Depends on the restrictions based on the snow / ice conditions.

Where I live in CA, there are R1, R2, R3 restrictions and with snow tires (snowflake on mountain winter tires), R1 restriction would be allowed.

When I used to travel to the mountains, I would carry chains, but never had to use them because I had a set of winter tires/wheels which had the grippy, tons of siping, high silica tires and they were amazing on snow & light ice.
