So, where exactly is it that the chains are supposed to clear?I don't know if the chains clear backside of tires.

StPark, which brand & model chains do you have that fit your 2019 Signature with adequate clearance ? I'm about at a point where I don't care what the cost is as I don't even drive my CX 5 in the snow, the streets in my town are quite steep and either I can't even get started up the hill out of my driveway, or I can't stop going down !
Great finds.Here's the image I found for Konig XG-Pro12 #247 installed, inner clearance. If correctly installed, should be well out of the way from wheel. Inner clearance for strut needs 12mm, hair under 1/2".
See post #41 for installation video.

Great concept and idea.Or, even more expensive . . . requires ZERO clearance.

Great finds.
As long as it clears, this may be the better choice as far as it's all metal chain where tire meets road.
Assuming the OP still has OEM size 225 65r17 tires and hasn't widened/ upsized to 235 or 245, etc.
Great concept and idea.
Solves the clearance problem.
These look nice but would be worried the plastic(are those gray plates made of plastic?) might break on hard ice or slushy snow melt roads when tire might connect with pavement.
At least, with chains, don't need to worry about that with regular steel chains.
But for someplace with heavy snows and minimum snow removal, and an attentive owner that would remove these at first sign of asphalt, these would be great.
Nice. Saw some of these things were made from composites an plastics now. At least this one didn't cheap. Sounds like a good product.Those chains are made of Manganese Nickel alloy 100%, installed over single lug nut with special torque wrench. Very expensive, no portion of the chains are made of cheapy plastic.
I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS Plus2 225/55/R19.Great finds.
