Two-link spacing and full tread coverage solved traction difficulty with my original three link spacing. Very well made, made long and may need to be cut to fit which may need a bolt cutter. Installation is easy using a drive-on multi-segmented alignment block also available. Should deflate tire to much lower pressure to ease connection, then inflate for snug fit.

The chains are excellent but hard to get mounted on knobby tires. You definitely have to hook the backside of the tires before hooking the front because there's very little room to work. Then you have to work the cross pieces around the knobs of the tires all while working in cold weather.I had to buy a set of rubber chain snubbers to get the chains to stay tight to the tires. Just using the hook on the chains is not enough. When it was all done the chains did and are doing what is intended. They work fine.

I put these on my garden tractor for plowing. They made the steering much more effective when plowing. They went on with only a little difficulty and made a big difference. they appear to be quite durable and I think i will get many years use out of them. I did have to wire the loose ends to the chains to take up left over slack, they are a little long to fit more different tire types. If I had a set of bolt cutters I probably would have cut off the excess chain, but wiring them worked okay.

I priced these chains at various places and found this price to be the best. I bought the size that corresponded to the size printed on my snowblower tires. My tires have high, and somewhat narrow treads, and tended to slip so I felt that I wasn't getting through tough snow as easily as I should with the self-propelled wheels.The chains seem to be very heavy and well-made, and a quality product, but the installation was the problem.First, I tilted my snowblower and set it down on very sturdy and stable blocks so that I could access the wheels easily. This helped a lot.The instructions were not particularly clear. The picture shows the chains riding on top of the treads. In my opinion, it is rather difficult to get the chains to all sit on the treads while trying to adjust the links on the side. After several attempts I just let the chains fall between the treads, and then it was too large for the wheel. At one point I squeezed the connector link to fix the chain on, but it wasn't right and it slipped off. I could not bend it back. The connector link is very thick metal, and the instructions are not at all clear how to work with it. I made a phone call to the company, and the service was quick and friendly, but in the end I could not get it to go on right.Finally, I solved the whole thing by letting the links sit between the treads, and then using a set of nuts and bolts to connect the chains on both sides of both tires (four bolts in all), I completed the connection of the chain ends. I tied up the extra links with twist ties so they wouldn't get caught on anything. This arrangement seems to have done the trick as far as keeping the chains on. I gave the snowblower a test run by driving it into packed, deep snow, and I definitely noticed a difference. Also, it climbed the curb at the end of my driveway much more easily than it had in the past in spite of my less-than-perfect installation. The chains did not come off clearing my whole driveway (three car garage wide and about 30 feet long).So, if you can install it yourself, go for it, and you will be glad you did. If you can't, I recommend you find someone who can do it right, as I could not.

Chains fit almost perfect. Had to cut out one link, but not big deal to do that. Chain links are quite heavy duty, and I got lots of traction now in the snow.

There are tire chains that have the cross chain every 4 links and there's this one that has the cross chain every 2 links. It's a big difference, so be sure to choose the 2 link version. It's a little more expensive, but works much better, expecially in deep snow.

Was very very surprised how loose, even on the tightest setting, how these chains fit!If you buy these make sure you have tension straps.

It is hard to say these are bad chains. They have small links and with our tires they tend to ride into the very large grooves of the tires; they do not stick up enough to grab in this configuration. When we put them outsides of the grooves they eventually ride back into the grooves as the snow blower is used. We made them work by running one end of a chain that goes over the tire in one grove and the other end into the grove just next to it. It works pretty well.It should be noted that we can get big dumps of snow and we also have a driveway that is on an incline (although probably only about 3-4 degrees). On top of that the tires we are using are horrible for what we ask of them. Normally we do not put chains on until much later in the year. That said our old chains for our old snow blower look much more substantial and look like they would have worked if they had fit.In other words, we are not jumping for joy over these chains for our set up but so far they have worked and are easy enough to put on. My guess is that if you have tires like those in the photo you will find it even easier to put them on and they will work just fine.

Arrived on time. Fit well. Easy to install. Installed on knobby snowblower tires; the type with large lugs on tread.
