Review on Enhance ATV Traction with Security Chain Company 1064756 ATV Trac V-Bar Tire Traction Chain by Shaun Bushey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good chains, pictures are deceiving

Got these chains and a set for two other tires (mixed sizes) for my 2002 Polaris 700. , the flyback-style driveway was dangerous at best before it received it. They appear to be well made and I predict they should stand the test of time. The reason I'm removing two stars is as follows: 1) Despite the bad reviews, this item still shows the 2 link image. Interval. At least they updated the description but when I bought the chains it wasn't obvious. I was very disappointed when I opened the package. doubly so when I found that they didn't come with the rubber tensioners that come with every other chain kit I've bought. It shouldn't be a problem for a business to have two separate listings rather than being lazy and using one set of images for both. So I'm wondering if that's not intentional. 2) They are quite difficult to permanently install. They flex quite a bit, and even after installation (using pliers to get the latch as tight as possible) they still need multiple adjustments to make them tight enough not to rattle/shift during use . This complex setup completely eliminates the possibility of removing them when not needed. I won't be removing them for the rest of the winter, which effectively limits my ATV's use in fair weather or above 25-30 mph. Overall, these are good chains for the price, but the seller needs to check their product page and throw in at least a $5 tension set.

Pros
  • Great overall specs
Cons
  • Doubtful
