Suvs Tire Cables Glacier Chains 2016C Light Truck Cable Tire Chain

I bought these tires to make it up a steep unplowed dirt road. We have a Honda Odyssey and the tires fit perfectly... a little too perfectly in fact. They had to be in exactly the right place to get them on. It might have helped to take a little air out of the tire or get a chain that was slightly larger. It took us 30 minutes to figure it out. Once they were on, we had no problems. We made it up the hill with 8-10 inches of unplowed snow. The chain has a tightening adjustment for smaller tires, but our tire was the maximum size. Everything you need is in the bag. No bungie chords required.

I received the chains three days prior to a surprise snow storm. I ran an errand an luckily threw the chains in my vehicle, because in order to get back home I had to chain up or I wouldn't have made it home. My vehicle is a rear wheel drive pickup, but I was going places that four wheel drive vehicles were having problems.

My first installation was baptism under fire. The hardest part of the installation is hooking the back hoop of the chains. You want to make sure your vehicle has enough clearance between the tire and the body to allow you to reach in and make the connection. The connection is easy, but if your clearances are tight you may have some problems. After the back hoop is connected the rest of the installation is very simple. Once you have the chains mounted and you move the vehicle forward or backwards the chains will true up as advertised and tighten because of the design. I don't think most women would like the back hoop hookup because their sleeves are going to pick up the dirtand grime from the tires as they make the connection. Thule supplies you with a piece of plastic as a ground protector for your clothes as well as long clear plastic gloves neither of which were very substantial particularly if it is windy as it was the day I had to chain up. I would recommend you by a kneeling foam pad from a nursery and keep it in your vehicle to keep your knees dry and figure your sleeves are going to get dirty. All in all though the best tire chains I have ever purchased. By the way I am over 70 years old.

I almost didn't buy these chains because of the price, but I decided to drop the cash and give them a try. What a brilliant decision!

They install so easily and with the auto-tensioner, there's no more pulling some black circular rubber band thing and trying to hook it in 5 places along the chain. You hook the chains around the tire, slip the auto-tensioner piece through the hole until there is no slack and drive.

Taking off the chains is just as easy.

I feel sorry for the saps on the side of the road struggling with their chains, then end up paying some chain installer to help them out.

(UPDATE 12-5-2013.... I sold my 2010 Silverado and purchased a new GMC 4x4 2500 HD Sierra and the tire/wheel size is larger than my old pickup... I got onto Amazon late yesterday, ordered two new sets for the GMC, front and rear, and less than 24 hours, here they are. This makes my 5th set of these. Needless to say, they worked well for me and anyone that has provided a less than favorable review, I have no idea why they are not as satisfied as I am, except to believe they are not installing them correctly or driving way too fast, or they don't remove them soon enough as they drive off of snow/ice onto payment that is dry or free from snow.)

BELOW IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW..................

I purchased a 2010 Chevrolet 2500 4X4 last year and from previous experience of driving 4 wheel drive pickups as a civilian and in the Army, I knew 4x4s gave inexperienced drivers too much confidence in certain snow conditions, especially on roads having hidden layers of frozen ice underneath snow. I would have purchased 2 sets last year, but I read several bad reviews about the cables and decided just to try one pair. When my first set arrived, they were in use a few weeks after Amazon sent them.

I was very impressed with the ease of installing these compared to conventional heavy tire chains I've used in the past. I'm pretty darned decrepit but it was very easy installing these. I practiced first in my driveway on a "nice" warm day. It is a simple matter of laying the cables in front of or behind the tires on the ground and then pulling your vehicle directly over the cables and "draping" them on top of and over the tires and fastening a small hook on the back, and a "clog" like catch about the size of a pencil eraser on the outside.

Super Z6 was designed by SCC for cars, trucks, and SUV's with restricted clearance around the drive tires. Based on SCC's experience with other products in the "Z" family, Super Z6 has one very special quality: it will operate in less than half of the space required by most cable chains and tire chains. Super Z6 requires only 6mm (1/4") of sidewall clearance to operate. The diagonal pattern provides constant traction, aggressive starting, stopping, cornering and ensures compatibility on vehicles equipped with traction control and electronically monitored brake systems. Traction coils, made from alloy steel are more durable than conventional tire or cable chains. A split outside cable with two fastening positions allows for easy installation without moving the vehicle, and there's no need to stop and retighten. Most cars, trucks and SUV's manufactured since the late 80's will have special clearance requirements. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the tire positioning on your vehicle. Traction products not only have to fit the tire, but must also fit within the space provided around the tires. Most issues are hidden from view as they are behind the tire near braces, suspension parts, strut housings, splash guards and fuel and brake lines. More information should be located in the owner's manual under chains, traction devices, tires or similar heading. It is important to select a traction product that is compatible with the minimum class assigned to your vehicle. The class assigned to your vehicle is based on the original tire and wheel size shown in your owner's manual. Using a different size tire may affect the chain's ability to operate properly. Some owner's manuals state that certain tire sizes do not provide enough clearnace to accommmodate winter traction products. The fact is, many of these vehicles can use SCC's Super Z6. Trying to measure the nearest obstruction under your vehicle could prove tricky.

I was wary of buying these chains without any Amazon reviews to go off of, but I read reviews and forum comments from other sources on the web to find that Peerless makes a great product. I made the leap, and I am extremely happy with what I got. First, I'll give you the positives, then I'll list a couple of negatives or potential negatives.

Suvs Tire Cables Peerless 0232105 Auto-Trac Light Truck

FITMENT & INSTALL - I have a Tacoma with 31/10.5/R15's, matched my tire size to the correct Peerless product using the convenient fitment guide provided (at least at this time) on the Amazon product page (there is also a fitment guide on the Peerless website, I double-checked because I'm paranoid like that). The installation process is lined out in 6 steps with the provided installation guide, and it takes me about a minute to 90 seconds per tire to get the chains on. The small amount of slack that will be in the chains to begin with will quickly be worked out after a couple hundred feet or less. I usually double-check after rolling for a while to be sure the ratcheting system is working properly, but I haven't run into any problems yet.

****** EDIT ****** - After reading some of the reviews that followed mine, I realized a lot of people are having fitment issues. I would advise taking the recommendation of other users and sending Peerless an e-mail before purchasing these chains online just to be sure these will fit your tires. Certain tires sizes have multiple chain sizes that are listed as compatible. Sending Peerless an e-mail would remove the guess work on your part and potentially prevent a future headache. Remember, chains will only work if they fit. ****** END EDIT ******
