SCC Peerless 0232805 Auto-Trac Light Truck/SUV Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2

How long does it really take to put on, is the question i always have. Since many people even with chains will not put them on due to how big of a pain it is to put on and take off. So i test fitted mine in my packed snow driveway during the day when temps werent too horrible. The design seems good to make it easier and faster to put on. So I pulled the chains out, read the instructions. And then started the timer, without practicing. 3 minutes to get the first one on, 2 minutes to get the second one on. The instructions are water proof and somewhat tear proof, but not sturdy enough to kneal on to put the chains on. If the instructions were sewed into a small tarp like they do for tent instructions it would be more useful. Even with small piece of cardboard, i got my knees wet moving from side to side to pull the chains behind the tire initially. I recommend throwing a cheap set of work gloves in the storage sack so they will be there when you need them. Not sure if a small harbor freight tarp would fit in the bag with the chains, but you might get lucky if your careful and keep your knees dry that way. Taking them off took longer because i didnt read the instructions first. At least for me, you need to look underneath to see where the back connector is and you want it somewhat towards the top when you go to take them off. Also since you went around corners when using them, they wont be aligned with each other when you go to take them off, so you may have to move a bit to get the back connector to the top for one wheel then move a little bit again to get the other one. Other than the time needed to position the truck initially and then drive off them with done, its very quick to come off. Like 20 seconds. Since i didnt need them for a few days after so i took them in the house to melt and dry off before i packed them up again. You might consider laying them in the trunk or floorboads for the same reason if you have room, before repacking. I needed a set of chains for when i plow my driveway, and for standby use occasionally when I go into the mountains. These seem to be well reviewed and easier than traditional chains to put on. I recommend that you try putting them on once before you need them to have the practice and to make sure they will fit. Looking at how they cut into the packed snow in my driveway they appear to work well. I was tempted to get a set of the fabric chain alternatives as they are so much lighter and easier to store and even faster to put on. And if i was only plowing the driveway they would probably be okay for that since its limited use. But i think if you ever had to put them on to go over the mountains on i70 the fabric ones wouldnt last a trip as you went from snow and ice to clear and then back again. Of course if you have to use chains on a freeway that has bare spots, they will wear out quickly too (and cause much more damage if they break. But i think they would last longer than the fabric ones.

Disliked these as the size ordered and printed on the packaging do not match. These chains are for a car when clearly ordered 4x4 285/70 r17 they do not fit or match packaging size

Came in with one chain latch broken i cant even use this, also the sizing is not correct they said it will fit a tire 255/45 r19 but it does not fit it at all it is too small

Chose the size of the chain according to the chart in the product photos, the item sent out is too small and doesn’t fit which is extremely disappointing and annoying
