Helped me through a snow storm today. They worked as expected. The amount of traction I got from them alone was phenomenal. My car held and handled 100% better. It didn't even take me 5 minutes to put them on wheels. I recommend bringing a set of work gloves as you will get your hands dirty. They come with plastic gloves but a good cheap set of work gloves would be better. As others say, you don't drive them on bare tarmac. To be honest though they turn on and off on the fly in a pinch.
