SZ492 is the size you need for a 37x12.5 Tire (like a humvee take-off) they fit beautifully. I previously had them on 35's and although they fit, they were very loose and I ended up using two cable ties per tire to try and take up the slack. I think their sizing information is a little off. Regardless, I am very happy with them on a 37" tall tire. Easy to install, just wrap them around, two "clip ins" per tire, and string up the rubber tensioner. Maximum of 5 minutes for both tires, couldnt be easier.I got the chance to use them, put them on the FRONT of my K10 with a spartan locker and wow....these things are like cheating. I was driving on straight ice and almost no slipping or sliding. I even TOWED ANOTHER CAR UP A SHEET OF ICE!! and dont even think I spun at all.I am sold on these things, I may order another set so all 4 tires can have chains, but just having them on the front was like driving around with spikes in your tires, amazing traction for the ice. The only thing is they are quite harsh to ride on and speeds need to be kept below 15mph or the vibration gets pretty bad, but that goes for most snow chains

Easy installation, great clearance. Would like a little tighter fit... On front tires of an '05 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 (SRW) with LT 35x22.5x18 BFG KO2's. Tensioners work well and easy to use. Decent carry bag, but don't open the shipping package with a box knife. :-O, the bag is nylon (was). "V" bar chains on rear tires.

I used these cable chains for my 16 foot box van. I think it weighs about 10000 lbs. It's really herky Without chains, I get stuck VERY easily in snow, ice, and mud. After a little practice, it became very easy to put these things on. I climbed a very steep, very slippery hill, and went back down it later with zero trouble. I even slammed on the brakes going down it and only slid like 10 ft.However NOTE: It is a dually, and found it very, very, difficult at best to get them on according to their instructions, but I don't think they're meant for duallies anyway. But I figured out if I drape the chains over the top and reach my hands in through the large openings in the rims to fasten the backside buckle thingy, then it was really easy. So I wouldn't recommend for duallies unless you have similar openings or if they're designed to go over both wheels.All that being said, I am very happy with them. easy install, they do their job really well, and the quality seems robust.

SZ492 fit my 37†Mud tires pretty well I think. They also seem to be of good quality. Hopefully won’t ever have to use them, but at least I have something decent that’s super easy to install when we hit the mountains. Also purchased an extra two pack of the elastic tensioners as some reviews mention that they can break.

These fit front and rear of my stock 2021 Ford F250 wearing BF Goodrich All Terrain K03 in LT275/70R18. They didn’t rub while turning. You need to manually place each cable where it needs to be since it gets stuck in the tread grooves, but you’ll get the hang of it. I haven’t tested them in snow on this vehicle yet, just for fit.

I bought these for my 275/65-20s. I have put on many tire chains in my day, but never cables. With my new GMC pickup I need to run the cables for the clearance issues. I attempted to put these on the way the instructions said and was unsuccessful. I then draped them over the top like a set of chains, then you can manipulate them a little better and I still could not get them done up...and just looking at the fit I could tell there was no way. After many swear words and frustration I opted to return these to Amazon. No problem...but I thought I should try and figure out the issue.I called Peerless and the lady took the information and said they'd call me back. An hour later I got a call and I told him I had new tires and that they are Hankook Dynapro ATMs. This was the issue. He said that tire manufacturers can be off by up to 10% on the actual size as per the label on the tire. And this tire tends to run big. So...he said he'd send me a set of SZ486 cables and they'd fit...he was going to send them no charge. I told him I'd return these and get the suggested size. So...for the info, it may take a bigger set, but the staff was extremely helpful and there is no problems switching them out. Customer support is extremely important to me these days...yes the size didn't fit but we got to the bottom of it, so for this reason I give them all stars! Maybe this will help someone else in the future.

These snow cables are easy to install, and although I have no experience driving in the snow with them, they look like they can do the job. The problem is that the rubber tightener (tensioner) was too small and not stretchy enough to do its job and the first one just snapped during installation (see photo). The break is very clean, so I suspect the rubber is not up to par. I ended up using some of my quality rubber bungee cords to tension the cables and I'm sure they will do well. The second provided rubber tensioner is in the bag as a backup, although I would not want to try using it if it might break after I started driving. Since I had the bungee cords and the snow cables look great otherwise, I chose to not return them.

Got tired of the struggle with V chains , they work great but new trucks don’t offer the clearance to make installing easy.These chains are sooooo quick and easy to install. Followed the sizing guide and the fit was perfect. I did have some concerns about how the chains would grip but it turned out the traction is great!!

Ces chaines sont très faciles et rapides à installer. L'ajustement est parfait. J'ai des roues 285/70/17 sur Ram 2500. Très efficace dans la neige et sur la glace. Utilisé aux quatre roues sur chemin forestier glacé et enneigé. Elles m'ont entre autre permis de monter une pente abrupte avec une remorque attachée au camion. Très satisfait de cet achat.

Great product for most vehicles however for pick up with larger all terrain M&S tires Cross coils get stuck in wider tread causing adjacent cross coil to become very loose which will hit vehicle even for vehicle that does not require specification “S†chains. This issue common however not advertised.
