Review on Premium KONIG CG-9 070 Snow Chains (Set of 2) - Unmatched Grip and Durability by Leslie Matlak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I haven't gotten to the field yet. My Prius cannot drive with these chains.

This is my second winter of using them on a 2008 Toyota Prius (FWD). We'd already weathered a few storms with several feet of snow at Lake Tahoe, and we had a chain of command on I-80. I haven't hit any terrain my car can't handle with these tracks. I drove through 3 inches of snow with minimal traction control on the car. Instead of buying an AWD/4WD car, I can still drive a Toyota Prius and just put those chains on when the snow turns bad. It takes me a maximum of 10 minutes to put it on, and it usually takes a little longer to take it off because so much snow gets into the wheel housing and I have to clean it. I combine them with Michelin X-ICE 3 on all 4 tires and it's a great combination.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Weight
