garbage. They're actually more difficult to align and hold in place while you put your hand through the rim to install them. And you do it 6 times, while standard chains are only tedious 2 times. Also, if you don't think ahead, you realize that the ratchet has to be open 180Β° to release the straps when the rim is even the slightest bit in the way, you can't let go. I had to use pliers to bend the locking mechanism to get it loose. No no no.
