We bought this on sale, and it's great -- much easier to install and uninstall than standard chains.

These chains are dangerous as currently designed and manufactured - but fixing them would be fairly straight forward and inexpensive.Thule/Konig needs to recall these chains *until* they offer a replacement for the faulty lug adaptors.The manufacturer modified the lug nut adaptor for their K-Summit XXL snow tire chains to provide a "universal fit" for a variety of lug nut sizes. In theory, this is a good idea, to reduce the confusion as to which part should be used... but sadly, their solution results in an *ABSOLUTE CERTAIN LOSS OF THE CHAIN* while in use. This can result in loss of control of the vehicle, and possible harm to the vehicle and the passengers.This new lug nut adaptor design is faulty. It *WILL* lose one or more of the gripping teeth required to safely and correctly attach the chains to the tire as the chains are installed and removed - especially if your car has lug nuts sized in the upper end of the 17-24mm design range. The more you use these chains, the more likely you will lose one or both of them, as the teeth are easily dislodged when when you install the chains. If you have dislodged or lost a tooth *THE CHAINS WILL GIVE YOU A FALSE INDICATION THAT THE CHAIN IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY* even if it is not.Prior lug nut adaptors on their similarly designed tire chains were not adjustable, you had to select the correct adaptor for your vehicle, based on the size of your lug nuts. They came in 2 parts (see photos), the gripping teeth, and the outer retaining shield. All of the gripping teeth were made of a single piece of metal, and this kept them from being dislodged during installation (or lost completely during use).At some point, they changed over to the current adjustable design, that relies on the proper retention of the lug adaptor teeth by single rubber o-ring. The entire chain's ability to function is based on a rubber part that costs less than $0.01. Failure of this rubber o-ring will result in complete failure of the tire chain.The manufacturer does NOT seem to sell replacements, or a non-adjustable adaptor for the K-Summit XXL snow tire chains (they do sell non-adjustable 21-22mm adaptors for the K-Summit XL series, which may be a good replacement if your car has 21-22mm lug nuts).The adjustable lug adaptors are designed to not be repairable, and once any of the teeth have become dislodged or have fallen out (and this *WILL* happen based on their design), the chain is no longer usable. While these chains do have a 5 year warranty as indicated on the box... there's no paperwork inside the box indicating how one would file a warranty claim, nor what is covered by the warranty.Thankfully I tried these out and they failed prior to being in the snow, and needing them to work.

Es para las ruedas del coche por si nieva o hiela. Solamente hay que leer el manual por si hay que quitar algún tensor según la medida del neumático. Porque vale para varias medidas. Buena calidad y fácil de colocar. Las recomiendo.

There aren't a lot of options for chains on a Tesla Model Y Performance, so this is pretty much what I had to go with. The build quality is great, and once they're on they perform admirably.That said, they're kind of a pain to put on properly. You -really- have to shove them on. I watched some videos of people putting them on, and my guess is they put them on but never really drove in the chains. They have to be seated all the way on the tire, deeper than you get just by shoving them on like a lot of videos show. If you don't, they'll come off. And the piece that tightens on to your lugnuts does not tighten as much as it seems, so they'll likely come off your wheel and then just fall away entirely if they do come off and you didn't tighten them so much you're worried about shearing one of them off.That said, once you've practice multiple times, they do work great.

After getting a new car I originally got a set of SCC cable tire chains because they seemed more popular, less expensive, had better availability, and claimed to fit my 285/40R19 tires. When it came time to try them out, I discovered they didn’t fit — neither I nor the salesmen at the auto parts and tire stores could get them on. So I put in an order for these Konig chains. They had to be delivered from the UK and are relatively expensive (both base cost plus shipping), but after making the necessary adjustments I was able to get them to fit my tires without much difficulty. They’re much easier to install than the other chains too, as it doesn’t require any reaching behind the wheel. One thing I do need to note is that the manual recommends removing just 1 adjustment pin for this tire size, but I couldn’t get it on until I had removed 4 pins. I haven’t needed to use these on snowy roads yet so I can’t comment on their durability or how well the car drives with them.

as they hadn't seen these chains before. Mounted the K55's on my 235/55-18's. Practice at home and watch the various YouTube videos before having to do the real thing. Once you figure it out, it should not take to long to install (5-10 minutes each side). I brought along a ratcheting wrench with the proper socket size to speed things up. Don't over-crank- once you see that red line show through, I stopped. I think people who cranked down that belt strap one more time experienced the loss of their cables while driving.

Mais faut il encore savoir les monter !J'ai lu beaucoup de mauvais commentaires sur ce produit, j'ai eu une grosse hésitation à investir dedans... Pourtant, lors de son montage tout c'est parfaitement bien passé. Pourquoi ?Parce que la plupart des gens NE LISENT PAS LE MODE D'EMPLOI ! Il est INDISPENSABLE de LIRE le mode d'emploi A LA LETTRE, de VOIR les vidéos qui circulent sur le net ET SURTOUT, DE COMPRENDRE leurs fonctionnement. Car suivre un mode d'emploi en mode pilotage automatique c'est bien, mais comprendre ce que l'on fait c'est mieux.Alors il faut :Bien adapter les chaines par rapport aux dimensions des pneus.Bien positionner la chaine sur la roue en prenant les branches de l'araignée à 10h10.Bien choisir la douille qui s'adaptera à l'écrou de votre jante afin de fixer le système de fixation sur jante.Bien choisir également la longueur du vis qui permettra de fixer ce système de fixation sur jante.Bien centrer ce système fixation au centre rotatif (indiqué par une flèche rouge) de la roue afin que le point d'attache de la sangle qui lie le système de fixation sur jante à l'araignée puisse rester dans l'axe de rotation des roues lors qu'elles roulent, sinon évidement c'est déséquilibré, ça se détache et on casse tout.Bien visser et ce fortement la vis qui tient le système de fixation sur jante.Bien sangler le système jusqu'au trait rouge.Rouler quelques mètres afin que les chaine se posent bien sur la roue et bien vérifier après si tout va bien.Et roulez jeunesse sans dépasser les 50KMH !Si vous avez pris le temps de bien faire ces étapes, alors vous ne serez confronté à aucun problème et il ne vous faudra pas plus de 10 minutes pour mettre vos deux chaines en cas de besoin. Mais seulement si vous avez bien pris le temps de comprendre comment elles se posent avant d'en avoir vraiment besoin.Dites vous bien que la plupart des mauvais commentaires proviennent de personnes qui ont besoin d'un IPhone et Google pour réfléchir car ces chaines demandent un minimum de réflexion et d'entrainement pour pouvoir correctement les monter. Et je dis bien un minimum car une fois le système bien compris, elles sont extrêmement simple à monter.Sinon, pour parler du produit, la qualité est bien au rendez vous en prorata du prix, et elles vous permettront de ne pas vous retrouver bloqué lorsque les routes sont enneigées. D'ailleurs, les véhicules ne disposant pas de pneus neige (comme moi) devraient obligatoirement avoir des chaines dans le coffre en fonction de l'époque et le territoire que l'on va traverser (les départements montagneux en majeurs parti)

I bought these chains 5 years ago to use on my Toyota Prius. I live in snow country and my 500 foot long driveway is steep and faces north. I end up needing to chain up about half a dozen days per year to get up my driveway. I LOVE how easy these chains go on!. I had the kind with cable you fasten behind the tire before and that was a real pain on the prius because of low clearance over the tire. These go on like a dream, less than 2 minutes each, no kneeling in the snow, much less laying down. Traction is good. I'm not sure if it's as good as "regular" chains or not because I moved to the steep driveway at the same time I bought these chains, but it is usually "good enough".I was within a week of the 5 year warranty window when one of the chains failed. It failed as the pivot between the arm that clamps on the lug nut and the strap, I think due to spinning trying to come up the driveway. I checked Thule's web site for the warranty and saw they characterize it as "bring it". I contacted them, sent some pictures of the failure and received a new set of chains within two weeks. I could not be happier with the company or the product.
