    Awesome, they must still be selling them under that name. You should have no regrets with them.

    The directions are straight forward, the one trick I had to figure out was make sure you leave the front spread when clasping the back of the chain, otherwise there is too much tension and you won't be able to bring the ends together.

    Do a dry run in the driveway, only takes a minute once you've done it once. And the tensioner is wicked easy.

    LOL! The area I was in in this photo usually requires 2wd to have chains on and 4wd to carry them, but this particular day I think it was so busy they were using it as crowd control and requiring all vehicles to have them on. Definitely was not necessary.

    But here is some snow porn anyway :)

    For sure, though I've done a little more once or twice, and you'll definitely feel when it doesn't want you to go any faster.
