Exactly what I wanted

Worked great on a 2011 Honda Accord (Ex). Had a similar kit on another car for over 20 years and likes the design of just wrapping the chain around the wheel and using an elastic tensioner. Got stuck roadside in the snow last season but was able to fit these tracks with ease and get back on my feet with no problems. I've only used them twice so far so I don't know how long they will last.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Fair

Broke after a few times, was on my 225/45-18R.

I bought these chains for my BMW 428i with 225/45-18R tires. The chains worked great for a season, they are very easy to put on and therefore not easy to take off. But the chains broke after one season, I must have used them 6 times. It now looks like Thule no longer makes chains, although Revain still sells them as Thule. I guess I'm stuck with a 5 year warranty with no one honoring it. I'm not sure what to do next.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Expensive

Good chains for tires and wheels

Easy to assemble, work well in the snow. Received my item promptly. My only issue with the tracks is that part of the chain broke and debris was thrown out of my car as soon as a short stretch of clear road got out of the plow's path, chipping the paint and denting the metal. I was only doing 25 mpg back then. I believe the chains need to be stronger to prevent this. The chains have not been used to date, so they are in new condition. If they were better I would give 5 stars

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Expensive

Too small for 215/55r17 tires. (Size 100)

I can't say the Revain installation guide is correct as these chains do not fit as shown in the guide. As you can see from the pictures the locking mechanism and chain length do not seem to fit my Nissan Juke's 215/55r17 tires as the idler chain does not go all the way through the tyre. UPDATE: I've updated with new photos. for snow tests. Yes. VERY SMALL (size 100), although the chain packaging clearly states this bar size. I drove about 40-60 feet in the snow and they started to move but…

  • Amazing

Worked great with my car 2wd on mountain roads

So my friend and I have a 2WD sedan. All season tires only. We had a trip up into the mountains the next day after a heavy snowfall (2 feet in some places). Our GPS put us on some kind of country road I guess. Ratings were steeper than 10 percent. 10 percent is cool for a road, especially when covered in snow and ice. So, of course, one of the hills was stopped at 3/4 of the way up. I had to step back halfway to a flatter spot and drop the chains, which was very easy. It was the first time I…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Empty

Great chains for BMW 328

Purchased chains in size 100 CB12 for my 2014 BMW 328d (Standard 17" wheels and tires; Rear drive; All season tires; 225/50-17). Plenty of snow in East Tennessee, um worrying about chains but last week was very different with temperatures of 5-15F for 4 days with an ice storm on Monday then 1-2 inches of snow on Tuesday night and then some slush on Friday but more snow and ice and freezes again overnight. It's quite hilly here, and although the city clears the main streets fairly well, we often

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Problem
