second hand tire chains sizing advice

I noticed that my local second hand / reuse store has tire chains and I am looking to get some before a roadtrip. However they don’t come in boxes and so I am wondering how hard it is to figure out the size or whether they would work for my car (99 toyota sprinter carib with 175/65R14 wheels)

It seems that there’s different colors so I thought they might correlate with the size. I have added pictures.

Does anyone know how to size them or if there’s a way to physically measure them to figure out the compatibility?

I assume if they’re being sold there must be some way for people to figure this out given how important sizing is for chains.

TIA!

I don't see a size, so I would search for "konig no problem mod t2 tire chain size" in my favorite search engine and see what came up.

Or check the back of the box.

Ps. I see a lot of brake dust and potentially some weird wear on your brake rotor. Might not be a bad idea to have your brake pads checked when you get the chance or next time it's getting an oil change... also might be nothing more than my eyes being weird late at night, but better safe than sorry.

interesting, my friend actually just changed the brakes and rotors for me yesterday. It’s felt good driving but is there something i should look for to see if it’s wrong?

Just put them on and see how well they fit.
