What are the best snow chains for a Toyota Sienna?

We decided to take our kids winter camping in upstate New York at the end of the year. We drive a Toyota Sienna, but it has all-wheel drive. Do we need snow chains like the park rangers are saying? And if so, what are the best snow chains for a Toyota Sienna?

While the Toyota Sienna is an excellent minivan, its all-wheel drive isn’t quite the same as what you might find in a Subaru, Jeep, or Land Rover. And snow chains are recommended even for those off-road-capable vehicles. Here’s a short list of what we think are the best snow chains for a
Toyota Sienna
. Most of these snow chain options will have a good fit for you:
  • Peerless Auto-Trac snow chains are popular thanks to their high quality, affordability, and easy installation process. We highly recommend them.
  • KÖNIG CB-12 snow chains are cheaper than most other options presented here, and work great in the snow. But they’re harder to install than the other options, too. It should also be noted that they’re not available for 20” tires.
  • Security Chain Company Z6 Cables are cables rather than chains, but they fundamentally work the same. That said, they’re not quite as grippy as proper chains, and are better suited to smaller wheel sizes.
  • Michelin Easy Grip Evolution snow chains are top-of-the-line products marketed toward European drivers. They’re imported and expensive, but many drivers will tell you these are the very best snow chains available on the market.
Please note that you’ll need to know your exact tire size before shopping. But we’re recommending snow chains available for general Toyota Sienna tire sizes, which have ranged from 15” to 20” through the years.
We hope all of this information helps, and we hope your family has a great time winter camping! We have some more content that you might find useful, too, like our guide that explains how to put snow chains on tires. We hope you have a fun, safe, warm trip!
