| I've used regular chains off and on for 45 years, so they are not new to me. I decided to try the cable style on my 1/2ton Ford van and they were horrible. In their first use, they wouldn't stay on the tire, flipping off almost immediately, with minimum tire spin. Three hours of screwing around with them, repairing them repeatedly (the diagonal cable) and finally I was able to make it up my modest incline of a driveway. This all occurred in about 6" of snow on a dirt road and drive. The next day I was able to get out (amazingly the cables stayed on for the 1/4 mile drive to pavement) and I immediately went to the local parts house and bought old fashioned ladder style chains. The cable style might work for some, but they were terrible for me. They are pretty easy to put on and take off, I'll give them credit for that. |

| Darn good chains that do the job! I was able to install these in about 10 mins the first time w/ a quick scan of the directions. What else to say....great light duty chains at a solid price. Enjoy! |

| When I first got this product, I thought it was great - these "chains" go on so much easier than the kind that you have to lay out and drive on to... I've got a pick-up truck, and have used these "chains" about 6-10 times. My low rating is due to the fact that one of the cables is about to break (about 2 or 3 strands of the cable are holding it together, but it's not safe to use). The problem seems to be that the cable on the front and back side-wall is crimped in to these rectangular junction points and I'm guessing that when they crimped mine, they damaged the cable, because the cable is breaking right at the crimp point. I've had them for more than a year (the warranty period) but I'm going to contact the company to see if they will stand behind their product... |

| These were easy to install, even in the snow. I was pleased with the traction and braking using these. |

I can't say enough how impressed I am with this product. The benefits all around out weigh the little cost of the product substantially. I live in the south east, so if it snows or freezing rain the city does not plow but major highways through town. I would recommend these for such occasions where areas of bad whether will literally shut your town down. Placing them on the tires was about as easy as it could possibly get. You do not even have to move the vehicle. It took me literally two minutes for each tire, and about the same removing. Once they were on my rear wheel drive Jeep handled the snow and ice perfectly. The rear tires never did spin and I always had traction.
If I had chains for the front tires as well I could have gone just about anywhere. It does make the ride a little loud and bumpy, but that's to be expected. As described by the manufacture it is not recommended for over 35 MPH. Nor would you in suchconditions anyway. I also would not use on streets that the snow has melted and only wet pavement is seen. These are perfect for the vehicle that does not do well in snow and for early morning drives to work in weather non-typical for your area. My neighbor was also so impressed with the design and the ease of putting them on, he ordered a pair for his wife and her rear wheel drive explorer. |
