Review on ❄️ KONIG K44 Snow Chains, Set of 2 - Ideal for Improved Traction on Icy Surfaces by Steven Notsinneh

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The downside, however, is that they can also come loose very easily. It is very important to note that this is the case.

Overall this seems like a regular product but I'm not a fan of graphical instructions without words. If you are a specialist in assembling IKEA furniture, this might be easier. I bought these tracks for the sole reason that they are the only ones that will fit the low profile run-flat tires and rims that came with my machine. The problem is that there is no "internal" wire or cable holding the chains to the bar. So they can "self-align" but the downside is that they can also come loose very easily. It is very important to note that having the correct hub for your rims is very important (which is difficult to decipher in wordless directions) and that each hub you use is on the opposite side of the center "arrow" from the belt. holding the chains on the wheel. It's pretty easy to get it wrong (jam nut bushing and strap loop on the same side of the center arrow), and if the strap and its ratchet are too tight on the plastic loop, all the work will just fly off your wheel while you ride. Again, since there is no leash inside, the chains can fly off and make no noise, leaving you miles behind in a chained blizzard. Also please note that Thule no longer services these products and they are covered by the warranty of another company called Konig. In general, these chains can be used, but extreme caution should be exercised. If another brand's chain fits your tires and it has an internal cable or chain, this is your best bet, even if it's more difficult to install.
