SCC SC1040 Radial Chain Cable Traction Tire Chain - Set of 2, Silver

these tire chains were good. As long as you get the correct size for the tire you have, they were a good fit for my tires. They could be put on without gloves, but if it is cold outside and snowing, you might want some gloves to put them on just because your hands might get cold. They were also easy to remove. You put them on pretty much like all chains ... lay them flat on the ground, driver your car over them, and wrap them around the tire and clip in place. When I used them, then did not come off when driving in the snow. good value for the money.

2022 Subaru Crosstrek. Deep snow and ice. Worked fantastic. Put them only on the front tires, great grip and braking. Of course it’s best to put them on before you hit a blizzard or stuck in the parking lot. You need space to roll them on. An extra bungee or star bungee is key.

First off, the reason for the 4 stars, is because it did not come with the rubber buggies to self tighten the cables. I received the chains right before a major snow storm hit. I installed them the night before and they were pretty easy to install. Less than 10 mins and I had them on both tires. They worked as they should and had no issues with it. I got a slightly bigger size for my car, with in minor size difference. I have a 2015 jeep patriot latitude, for reference.

I would recommend. I only had winter tires in the rear tires and cheap all seasons in the front tires and was loosing traction so I put these chains on the front wheels and I would say its amazing how good chains work. It is loud on parts of the road not covered in snow. Use only when road is covered in snow since It is meant for snow traction because the noise is much worse . I drove for a couple hours on the highway that covered in snow without loosing traction. I don't know how long these lasts. It's easy to put on if you know what you're doing.

Yes, I went a little bit cheap on getting myself a set of chains for my trip to Big Bear Mountains (CA) that has just ended today. The chain seemed too good to be true. It was affordable compared to many other snow chains out there that costs $8-90 or even in mid $100's. The installation video also seemed fair enough for me to try on my own. Despite some negative comments I had read, I decided to give it a try. On the day of my trip up to the Big Bear Mountains (12/26/2019), we faced the following problems. 1. The installation was not as easy as it was described. To be more accurate with my review, I drive a 5-series BMW which is a rear-wheel drive, so I had to place my chains in the rear wheels, which does not rotate left or right, unlike the front wheels. Even considering this added difficulty, the installation process not easy. the securing wires that go inside the car were extremely difficult to reach and hard to tighten. 2. The yellow securing clip was not secure enough. It popped the wire out in the middle of the driving and ended up scratching my car because of hanging chain wire. 3. The chain itself is not tight enough after securing it to the inner-most holding of the wire. The wheels kept sliding without a grip and the car would not move because the chain is not tight enough. I had to purchase an extra set of chain tighteners ON SPOT at the chain check-point for another $20 to actually get the car rolling. It was only after I put on the extra set of chain tighteners that the car started rolling. 4. Last, but not least, this set of chains BROKE APART after the first use. This is the first and the last trip that this chain lasted. I had to replace the chains because it was broken during its use (note: I never touched the chains after installation until this point. Who does?). To think about the chain breaking after the first use raises concerns for its sturdiness and reliability. I feel like my money has been wasted on a poorly made product.

They worked great. Fit my 15” tire perfect.

Bought this 2 days prior to the blizzard, I didn't expect amazon to deliver on the day of the blizzard but they did! It's my first time using a snow cable chain. It was incredibly useful. My old SUV drove through unplowed roads with no issues. This provided good traction, control and was just fantastic overall. Easy to put on and off as well.

I purchased these chains to help with crossing Stevens Pass in WA state over the Thanksgiving 2010 snowstorm. I used these chains going over the pass as well as coming back. I will say that these chains gave me some good traction in my Town and Country minivan, but after two uses I can tell they will last maybe one or two more trips with that type of use. There are links that are broken and it appears that more are on the way. It did though help me get through some very challenging conditions as it never slipped once. You should practice getting these on before you really need them as they are not the easiest chains to put on. I would say that these are a steal at the price if you need a set of "emergency" chains. But, if you anticipate heavy use you will most likely get only one season out of them. 3.5 out 5. I would give higher if chains would last longer.

Great value for sturdy trustworthy chains. Chains generally aren’t fun to install and these are no exception. More specifically, they aren’t necessarily hard to install, but can be tricky to get tight with the adjustment style on them. Otherwise, they’re great and fit my tire size as recommended.

I had bought a pair of used SC1042 last year and was very pleased with performances in the snow and ability to put chains on and off quickly (2-3 minutes) when driving on back roads covered with snow. Since my car is AWD i bought another set to stabilize back of the car when driving in the snow and ice.

Very light duty but but could be used in a pinch

The chains fit great and worked as they should. I used them twice this winter and was glad to have them. I followed the advice of another review and was glad I did. The product code recommended for my car on Amazon was not correct. I went to the manufacturers website and it was a different code than what was suggested. I ordered the set that the manufacturer suggested and they fit great.

If you keep these in your trunk they will be a big spaghetti mess if you don't strap the box closed. Otherwise these are a decent alternative to tire chains.
