Brand new broken chain out of the box.

New chain out of the box already has a broken link. The broken part of the chain is still in the box, so worry about the quality of the product.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • So-so

Great bike chains! - Snow chains

These are excellent snow chains. They are easy to install. They have a low profile making them suitable for luxury vehicles where there is very little space for traction equipment (they only need 9mm of clearance). They also don't require a rubber band (unlike some traction devices) so you don't have to worry about the band tearing with age.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Great chains but one big mistake

I used chains on my recent trip to Tahoe this weekend and they worked great. I was able to install the tracks in less than 5 minutes and got me to my destination with no problems. However when I removed the chains there were some pretty big scratches on my rims! I drive an Infiniti G35. I used the scratch resistant bumper included in the kit but it didn't really work as advertised. It was really disappointing. I have written to Thule and am waiting for a reply.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Crumpled

Ok but don't expect them to last very long

They were very easy to install. After riding for a while I found that I could tighten them up a bit (using a link instead of a red hook) and that would greatly reduce road noise. I drove about 165 miles around Yosemite on roads that were mostly dry. This consumed most of the life of the chains. I'll probably keep them for emergencies, but I won't be able to take them to Yosemite. This is the first chain set I've ever bought. Maybe my expectations were wrong, but I expected to be able to use it…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not sure

Great product for cars with limited ride height

My Owner's Manual for the 2011 Buick Lacrosse says, "Do not use chains. get stuck on some mountain passes. Luckily, these chains are only 9mm thick, which in my case allowed them to fill the 1/2 inch gap between the bar and the rack body. Because this play is very small, it's also important that the chains aren't slack, and the automatic tensioning system on this model does a very good job of keeping the chain taut on the bar. A few tips for installing and removing chain: 1) Installing a chain,
