Default Snow Chains on the New XC90 T8

It looks like the snow chain manufacturers don't recommend chains for the new XC90 because of the clearance to the suspension strut at the back of the front wheel.

I am on the narrowest 19in wheels and it does look a bit tight - although I might have a go and risk it.

The other option I can think of is to put them on the back wheels (I haven't checked but assume better clearance). Has anyone any thoughts on this? The back is not mechanically connected to the front so shouldn't upset any Haldex or anything like that which it might in a T6 or D5.

I am thinking of Thule Easy Fit SUV.

Thoughts?
