Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the traction, value, and performance of the snow chain. For example, they mention that it provides very good traction on snow and ice, it's worth the price, and it performs well in 4 inches of snow. That said, opinions are mixed on the fit, durability, and ease of removal.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the ease of installation of the snow chain. They say that it is relatively easy to use, put on the front wheels, and indentifiable.
"...I was very impressed with the ease of installing these compared to conventional heavy tire chains I've used in the past...." Read more
"...SUPER easy. Did not even have to revisit the directions - and short of the "test fit", this was the first time putting them on...." Read more
"...Update: I’ve practiced installing the chains, and indeed they are fairly easy...." Read more
"...Once I had to install the chains, installation went as fast and as easy as the video. Removing them was easy as well...." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the snow chains. They mention that they fit well, work well in snow, and are easy to install. Some customers also mention that the chains are well-made and amazing.

"...For my tires and truck, these things are amazing. For the price, ease, speed of getting them on, they are a great traction solution." Read more
Customers like the traction of the snow chain. They say that the cable chains provide very good traction on snow and ice, and the grip was good on the ice and snow on their 2WD Toyota Highlander. The chains, on the front tires, maximized their steering and traction, and they never slid or spun a tire. They ride much smoother than the old chains did and it was easy to remove, but that also means that they don't flop around once installed, and are easy to put on and great to drive with.

"...around, I drove over pure ice in a controlled test and the traction is impressive.The did not damage my after market wheels...." Read more
"...For the price, ease, speed of getting them on, they are a great traction solution." Read more
Customers like the value of the snow chain. They say it's a reasonable price to pay for insurance, and it'll keep them safe for a decent price. Some say that the chains are easy to install and remove, and are a good choice for the occasional times when chains are required going up to the ski slopes.
"...Today (exactly one year later), the second set was a life saver...." Read more
"...For my tires and truck, these things are amazing. For the price, ease, speed of getting them on, they are a great traction solution." Read more

"...But may take a trip up north this winter and really test them out. Price is great and I will be purchasing another set soon...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the fit of the snow chain. Some mention that it fits well and works well in 4" snow, while others say that it does not fit well. The cables sit nicely in very well designed carrying bases, and are great for any car. However, some customers say that they do not fit their truck tires, although it was labeled for 275/60-20. They are tight to put on the first time, and take a lot of adjustment to make sure that they don't flapping around.
"...They fit perfectly as promised. Now I can't wait for our next trip into the snow because I am no longer anxious about using chains!..." Read more
"...I did not have to do any additional adjustments or fittings.Stayed on tight, no flapping around, I drove over pure ice in a controlled test..." Read more

"...loose until the rubber tightener is applied and then the chains are very snug...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the durability of the snow chain. Some mention that they are pretty well made, while others say that they immediately broke. The elastomeric tensioners only last about 2 years before the elatemer starts to crack.
"...So 4 stars... good quality and tight fitment, but installation requires precision and patience...." Read more
"...These are not solid "bar chains" and thus if someone needs something that will never fail, get a heavy pair of conventional chains... I am totally..." Read more
"...Very well made and easy to use...." Read more
"...They do require somewhat more strength, patience, and technique than the snow socks, but for the superior durability and performance, I think it..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the snow chains. Some mention they are excellent, with the chain/cable quality being excellent. However, others say that the chains were stuck together, tangled, and difficult to untangle. They also say the chains are loose and difficult re-insert into the box.
"These chains are awesome. I got the ZT729's for my 2004 Ford Ranger (2WD)'s 235/70R16 tires (with 450 lbs of weight in the bed)...." Read more
"...I installed the chains according to the instructions. The chains are somewhat loose until the rubber tightener is applied and then the chains are..." Read more
"These chains are excellent...." Read more
"Great chain....so far. I've been looking for tire chain to go to ski. This seemed the most star and easy to install. Arrived promptly...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of removal of the snow chains. Some mention that it's really easy to install and almost as easy to remove, while others say that it was tricky to take off. Some customers also mention that the cables are difficult to remove.
"...As I took the cables off this evening, they were easy to remove and I saw no evidence of damage, despite running them in the conditions I described..." Read more
"...Removing them was easy as well. Just follow the installation and removal process as shown in the video...." Read more

BELOW IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW..................
I purchased a 2010 Chevrolet 2500 4X4 last year and from previous experience of driving 4 wheel drive pickups as a civilian and in the Army, I knew 4x4s gave inexperienced drivers too much confidence in certain snow conditions, especially on roads having hidden layers of frozen ice underneath snow. I would have purchased 2 sets last year, but I read several bad reviews about the cables and decided just to try one pair. When my first set arrived, they were in use a few weeks after Amazon sent them.
I was very impressed with the ease of installing these compared to conventional heavy tire chains I've used in the past. I'm pretty darned decrepit but it was very easy installing these. I practiced first in my driveway on a "nice" warm day. It is a simple matter of laying the cables in front of or behind the tires on the ground and then pulling your vehicle directly over the cables and "draping" them on top of and over the tires and fastening a small hook on the back, and a "clog" like catch about the size of a pencil eraser on the outside. I have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder and bursitis in both shoulders as well as arthritis, and I was concerned when I ordered these from Amazon, if I would be able to install them by myself, but it literally (and figuratively) was a snap. The rubber tension bands easily connect on the outside and they snug the cables up tight on the tires.
When the first snow came last year, I found the cables worked like a charm on my farm. I used them hard-packed dirt roads covered in snow, in mud and slush and as well on the highway having both snow and ice. I was so impressed, I bought a second set to use on the front wheels. Today (exactly one year later), the second set was a life saver. (In the Army, we were trained to use chains on the front and the rear on 4x4s... and chains on all 4 wheels on a 4x4 makes a lot of difference in going forward, stopping and side-slip control and I'm glad I had these cables on all 4 wheels today! See my photo I shot on the day I wrote this review.)
I had to make an emergency run to a town 50 miles away (2-3-2011 in Central Texas) and the roads were mostly covered in two inch thick ice. In some places, there were patches of exposed asphalt and in other spots, large chunks of broken ice accumulations about the size of cinder blocks covered the road and I was concerned about damaging the cables. I made the 50 mile trip to town and 50 miles back and saw more than 40 vehicles (some were 4x4s) that had spun off into ditches or fences or off of culverts.
As I took the cables off this evening, they were easy to remove and I saw no evidence of damage, despite running them in the conditions I described above.
As per the instructions, I'll rinse these off with fresh water tomorrow morning and I'll spray them with WD-40 before putting them back in their plastic box.
In reading other unfavorable reviews about these chains, I can only imagine that people were driving faster than 30 miles per hour, or may not have installed the rubber tension bands correctly. The maker claims "Light Truck & SUV" and some of the people giving low opinions were running these on one-ton trucks pulling heavy trailers, not what these cables were designed for. I'd suggest that they invest in chains designed for heavier rigs. In reading complaints about these cables, I also might believe that there could have been some manufacturing defects in the crimping process where the cables bind at the ends or at junctions. China has some work to do in ensuring their products are made properly, but in my experience with these cables, I have no complaints. I'd suggest if you buy a set of these, look at the junctures (crimp connections) very carefully and if you see any frayed wires, contact Amazon for refund or replacement.
As for me, after my 100 mile "adventure" on two-inch thick ice and snow and driving partially on exposed asphalt, I am extremely impressed. They provided great traction, allowed me to slow down and/or stop easily and they offer a much smoother ride than conventional chains. I will be ordering a pair for my wife's Volkswagen Jetta. I'm sure she would be able to install them as easily as I was.
I'd like to add, avoid making tight turns on exposed asphalt with these because the stress-loads and torque factors might be too much for the multi-strand cables. Avoid rapid acceleration and do not "spin" your tires as one reviewer said he did. Mine never, ever failed to "bite" in snow, mud or ice and I can't understand why someone said he was "spinning" his tires while these were installed. These are not solid "bar chains" and thus if someone needs something that will never fail, get a heavy pair of conventional chains... I am totally delighted with the performance of these on my 4x4. Please see my picture, where I helped pull a driver out of a ditch while having these on my pickup.

Fast forward to the trip, and sure enough snow on I-80. A wreck further up, and we had to sit for 4 hours, snow continuing to accumulate. When the truckers and a few other folks started chaining up, figured I should as well. This time, it took about 5 minutes per tire. Maybe. My bare hands did not start to get cold until the 2nd tire, so probably took even less. SUPER easy. Did not even have to revisit the directions - and short of the "test fit", this was the first time putting them on.
Definitely going to keep them, although odds are that I will never need them again.
I’ve seen such positive reviews about the chain system itself that we may keep them if I can find a good carrying bag (and find them as easy to install as I’ve read), but I hate that I have to provide my own, and can’t even find a good use for the strange original case.
Update: I’ve practiced installing the chains, and indeed they are fairly easy. I’ve never installed chains before, and I was able to figure it out and get the pair installed and uninstalled in about half an hour, including moving the car before removal so the rear fastener would be in a more challenging position. They do require somewhat more strength, patience, and technique than the snow socks, but for the superior durability and performance, I think it will be worth the extra effort. I found a suitable carrying bag, so I will keep the set after all.
Although much heavier than a set of snow socks, the whole kit isn’t actually that much bulkier than the socks after their first use, crammed back into their packaging.
A couple of tips I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere:
- Don’t worry too much if you can’t get the suggested “sweeping” motion down. If you don’t mind getting your arms and possibly face dirty, you can just reach around the back of the tire and pull it around.
- After you figure out the correct starting orientation for installation, use a permanent marker to write TOP, BOTTOM, and TIRE SIDE on a few of the metal tabs. The tabs are stamped “TIRE SIDE” but it could be hard to see in poor light.
- Take extra care to adjust the chains so they are as even as possible before you put on the tensioner. They’re supposed to go past the edge of the tread at least 2” all the way around.
- Attaching the tensioner: the yellow clip wants to spin around while you’re pulling. Use your palm to stabilize the clip while pushing it toward the cable with the heel of your hand, and grasp the cable with all four fingers of both hands as you pull the cable and tensioner together.
- Uninstalling: park with your wheels positioned so that the rear fastener isn’t all the way at the bottom. You don’t want it to be buried in mud or snow, and you don’t want your tires to be resting on either of the crossmembers nearest the fastener. It will probably be easiest to reach if it’s at 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock. It’s going to be directly behind the black keyhole fastener in front.
- Count your yellow clips before you put away the tensioners. They can fall off the rubber ring.
- Connect the bottom/middle/front fastener before you roll up the chain, and it won’t tangle as easily.

Pretty straightforward to put on the tire, the instructions are fairly clear. Doesn't take too long to install. The "gloves" included with the kit are pretty much useless...just thin plastic things you'd use to prep food with in the kitchen. Better off just throwing in a pair of work gloves from your garage.
The chains come in a sturdy and rugged plastic case making storage easy and convenient.
I've yet to use them In snowy conditions but will update this review after some road use. For now this review is based on initial observations and practice installation.

You don't need to re-tighten them once they are on and the best part is you can put them on even while stuck, no need to drive on them to attach.
Like the directions say, swing them around the back side of the tire at mid point of the chain. Attach the bottom front at ground level, then attach the back half's together at the tire top.....WATCH the VIDEO. Then put them on so you are familiar with them. These say they are rated to 50km/h. I have paint marked my set so I know where to tighten them to. Everything is included in the plastic box. One last thought, get a decent set of gloves and put them in the box along with a flashlight and a heavy red plastic garbage bag to kneel on. There is enough room in the box. Please wear something bright and reflective.

We are very glad we made it over the Siskyou pass without actually having to use them on the road.
Well packaged, easy to roll up and repack.
