Your cart is empty.Originally designed to save sidewall wear on radial tires, Radial Chain was the first real brand name in cable chain winter traction products. With a history of performance testing from Alaska to Switzerland and a tire application chart that contains every original equipment tire sold in North America, Radial Chain is an excellent, yet affordable choice in winter traction. Radial Chain’s plastic package is durable, waterproof and recyclable. Chain tensioners SHOULD NOT be used.

The storage box they came in is not only bulk but also doesn't close so you need a lot of room to store these. Past chains I had were more collapsible and came with smaller travel bags. Chains seem great quality though

They do the job, they're light, they're low profile, easy to put on. Just used them! If you don't need heavy duty frequent use chains, and just need a set to keep in the trunk for when an inch or two of snow reeks havoc in areas not equipped for snow removal, these are perfect.

Chains were easy to put on , just make sure to turn your wheels facing you to have better access to the back of the wheel when tightening .Went to big bear and took route 38 to go back home to LA and the chains held up all the way down. I did buy these chains tighteners/ adjusters separate to be safer and do recommend for you to buy them . The chains did scratch one of my rims but that’s common from using sedans and these type of tires. Just make sure to even out the chains.

I haven't had any snow to try them out yet, but the install on my tires was much easier than I was expecting. Quality seems good.

Very light duty but but could be used in a pinch

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.

These chains worked great on my Tesla. They held up admirably in extreme winter conditions, providing a solid grip on slippery surfaces. The build quality is good, and they certainly did the job.However, the difficulty arose when it came time to remove the tire chains. Despite following the instructions diligently, the process proved to be more time-consuming and strenuous than anticipated. The clasps and fastening mechanisms, while undoubtedly secure during use, seemed almost too secure when it came to removal.I found myself grappling with frozen fingers in the bitter cold, struggling to disengage the chains from the tires. The tension in the links and the tight fit around the wheels made the removal process more challenging than with other tire chains I've used in the past. It's worth noting that this could be a significant drawback, especially for individuals who may not have the physical strength or dexterity to manage the stubborn removal.

Turn your tires one way then the other way. Allows for very easy access to the back of the tire for connecting the cable chain connection together.

Easy to install and was able to drive up my iced driveway and my rural private road.

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.

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.

I got these solely to be legal when going through the mountains. I have a 2014 Ford Escape (Titanium with 18" wheels). This vehicle is more than capable of getting through these areas without tire chains, however, in California it is law that in some areas you must have tire chains (or it is like a $500 fine...). So I got these. They were cheap and fit my car. I was nervous at first since Ford explicitly says NO TIRE CHAINS on the 18 and 19" wheels. However, I do not think "My car manufacture said I couldn't" is a viable excuse for getting out of a ticket.These are cheap and fit my car. I put them on at home to make sure they fit and they went on easily fit snuggly (it took a few tries to get the connector in the right place to get both sides even (for me it was 4 notches, so I wrote that down on the instructions)). This way if I get to an area with a sign saying "TIRE CHAINS REQUIRED" I can put these on and be legal!If you are looking for super heavy duty tire chains these are not for you, but if you just want basic tire chains that do the job of giving a little extra traction and allowing you to drive in tire chain areas these are a great choice!!I am happy with these and highly recommend them for those wanting to take a weekend trip skiing and concerned about tire chain restrictions. My only complaint is that I wish the carrying case was a little bigger (although I am glad it came with one), but it takes a little effort to get the chains back in.
