I've used many different types of tire chains for my cars over the years and these are great! They are heavy duty and universal enough that they work for a few different vehicles I own. I highly recommend trying to install these a few times to ensure you don't struggle when you need them for safety. I installed these and drove through some snowy and icy roads a few weeks ago and these chains worked great. You definitely want to drive slowly with these installed. I recommend these and will be using them for a long time.

My father had a set of tire chains for our family car in the 1960s. I don't recall him ever using them - I guess he never felt that desperate.These chains were listed to fit 185 R70 tires. I couldn't put them on as shown in the ad video - about the only instructions you get! The video also has the installer hide the tricky bit with his hand. These might work on larger tires, but I had to find an alternative way to attach the last hook.BTW, the rubber ring tightener seen in the pic does NOT come with the chains. It was the only way I could get the chains reasonably snug.I'm so glad I did a trial run with the wheel off and in the garage. Trying to get this done in a snow covered roadside or parking lot would be painful, at best.About the only situation I could see using these chains would be if I HAD to use roads that were closed UNLESS you had tire chains. Even then, I'd have to be ready for State Troopers laugh 'till they cried when they saw them.As my father before me, I doubt I'll ever be desperate enough to use these.

Extremely lightweight construction on these chains. The reported size is also questrionable as it was not able to fit on the largest size listed.Overall the instructions are effectively pointless once you see the mess that is in the container. I feel like this would be a nice set to have stowed in the trunk incase you get stuck and need something to get out of the mess.This is not worth the money in my opinion.

I am a UPS delivery driver in Massachusetts. I have a 40-minute commute back and forth to work. We usually still work through storms. We have real chains in our work vehicles, but I got these KN70 emergency chains for my Corolla. I've been waiting for a while to need these chains and finally got a chance last week. I hit some black ice on my way to work after a snowstorm and slid off the highway. When I tried to pull back on the road, my tires just spun and made a rut in the snow. Usually, I would be upset, but I got excited to finally test these chains. They were easy to put on. I installed them on my front tires because my car is front wheel drive. I like that it only takes 1 person to put them on. They wrap around the tire from the inside out. It did take me a little bit to get them on. I should've practiced before sitting on the side of the highway in the snow. Once I got them on, I put my car in drive and easily pulled back onto the breakdown lane. Once I was unstuck, I decided to take them off because the description says these are for emergency traction and not to go over 40km/h (25mph). These did what they were supposed to do. They are advertised as emergency traction chains, and thats just what they are. These are not tire chains that I would use to drive all the eay to work. If you want tire chains made for driving on, you will need driving chains like we keep in our UPS vehicles. These are just cheap chains that will help you get unstuck. I am very happy with these. I do have AAA, so I could've got help for free, but AAA can take hours to get to you. I forgot to get a picture because I was rushing to get to work. We are expecting sbow again soon, so I will try to update this with pictures and maybe a video.

I admit that I am having difficulty installing these on my tires. There is a small illustrated 3-step panel on the compact carrying case that is insufficient in its directions. I went out the internet to search for how-to videos that were helpful. The best advice is to practice installing your snow chains prior to actually needing to use them.These snow chains have color-coded elements to help with orienting the chains. The cable with the green-coated plastic fits the innermost side of the tire. The yellow-coated plastic on this path indicated when the ends connect to make a loop. The natural silver chains fit over the part of the tires that actually make contact with the road. The yellow-painted chains will be over the exterior sidewall. A green clasp closes up this yellow chain loop. The re-painted portion of chain and red clasp are for tightening and adjusting the fit. Pull slack red chain into the red clasp and slide a link into the clasp's groove. The loose end of the chain then needs to be threaded through the wide red loop, and the hook at the tip of the rubber end piece should connect somewhere along the yellow chain to hold in place. The rubber flexes and stretches to give a tight fit.More details that I gleaned from the how-to video is that after attaching your chains, you should drive for about 15 feet, park, and re-adjust the fit. Allowing the tires to go through full rotations will allow the chains to settle and possibly loosen some and necessitate this extra step. Also, chains are to be used only on snow or ice covered roadways at a top speed of 25 mph. Driving on paved roads will diminish their integrity, so they need to be removed for driving on cleared roads.Where I live, we don't see snow and ice that often, but when we do the situation is most dangerous within neighborhood side streets, especially on inclines. I like having these just in case and can keep them in the case in the trunk throughout the winter and then store them in the garage the rest of the year.
