I live in Washington state and always been concerned about traction needs in the winter months. Many people like the "cable" type of tire chains since they are "springy" and it makes installing them easier (versus actual "chains" like these that don't stay straight across the tire, are much heavier, etc). However, I was with some others when we ended up sliding off the road. We instantly intalled some of those "cable" type chains for trying to get back on the road, but the cable that goes in a circle broke instantly at one of the joints (where a cable going across the tire joined it). So that instantly made me lose all faith in those styles making me want something that'll hold up in any situation.These have a small bar welded to each chain link that contacts the road to help give better traction and/or longer life making them more expensive than many others. I did have a set of these where a link broke right where there was one of those welds, so the weld may have weakened it. I've not had that happen again, but haven't used them that many times every year either. The big thing when installing any kind of tire chains is to remember that you want them to be tight and virtually part of the tire while on the road. Don't just drape them over the tire, connect the hooks to the end link of the chains and start driving because they may flop off the tire easily, start whipping your fenders or even catch on things like a brake line ripping the car apart. You want to work all the slack you can out of the chains and end up with the same number of loose links on both sides of the tire. If you end up with 1 or 2 links on each side that can flop around, that's not a big deal, but 3 or more can again damage the car. To contain them, hold the hook, place the end link that can flop around on it, then place the hook in the link that makes it tight and the end one will be trapped. Many OEMs recomend driving a few blocks on them, then checking them again for slack. Besides doing these things, having the "chain tighteners" (that are a huge rubber band) or some short bungee cords to constantly be pulling them tight to the tire helps as well (with those taking out any slack you missed).With these installed correctly, they will be as good as any others & last as long or longer.

I installed these chains on my 1998 K1500 plow truck. The truck is exclusively used as a yard plow truck now, so I don't have to remove the chains. If you're looking to gain traction while plowing, install tire chains! I have these on the rear and they made a tremendous difference. I still have weight behind the axle to act as ballast but I don't believe that weight would be needed for traction. Do you have to be a bit more careful as these things bite in and you don't want to spin them if you can help it. I have broken a couple of the horizontal chains and I simply use a threaded link to fix them. I not longer use the "chain tensioners" I simply use heavy-duty black rubber bungee cords. These hold up better than the tire chain tensioner bungees. I have posted a YT video on how to install these tire chains inf you need to see the installation process. Search YT for "DIY How to Install Tire Chains for Winter Weather Driving Quick Grip Snow Chains Tire Chain Install" and video should be listed under my name.

Easy to install, and provide great traction!! Only rated a 4 because the first time I used them I had 2 cross links come apart at the connections. After I removed them I went through and tighten all the links at the connection points, have never had an issue again. Would recommend doing this before first install.

They don’t have cam locks, the video is information only and not the product.Returning without using. But had to give a star rating, gave 3 for build.

Went to the manufacturer's website to figure out which model will fit my Sprinter 2500. These fit exactly as they should. The 'V' bars provided excellent traction on ice and snow, which is what anyone wants in a chain.Although not necessary according the manufacturer, also use the rubber tighteners along with the cam locks. I can see how the cam lock might slip open, so the traditional rubber tighteners at 5 points on the wheel/chain are just that extra bit of security and may actually help the cam locks stay closed. In below zero weather, how many times do you want to get out to fiddle with the chains? Only 2x - once on and once off.Top speed - 25 - 35 MPH, so really only for mountain passes or in town. if you want to go faster in bad weather, you might just stay home.

The hooks at the end of the chain aren't hardened...so with the cams tightened on the outside that outside hook just bends straight and the chain wraps around the axle...the color doesn't match the image.Use bungies....and replace the hooks at the end of the chain...if you need these to work....The crosslinks are hardened...however I suspect the hooks are weak there too......they work on ice... I suspect they may pull apart in mud
