The 'original' cable chain traction product for passenger cars
Originally designed to save sidewall wear on radial tires, Radial Chain was the first real brand name in cable chain winter traction products. Its consumer friendly features caused rapid growth in popularity and is still recognized as a market leader today with many of the same highlights:
- Low-operating space requirements around drive tires
- Meets S.A.E. Class “S” clearance requirements
- All-steel construction for long service life, featuring Peerless Industrial Group, Inc.’s traction coils instead of traditional steel rollers which flatten easily

Customers are mixed about the quality of the snow chain. Some mention that it's well-made, reliable, and a familiar brand, while others say that it may not hold up to heavy use.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the snow chains. Some mention that they fit perfectly on their 2014 Mazda 3, while others say that they were too small and would not fully fit around their standard tires. The size chart was very helpful, but some say that the chains were the wrong size and did not fit their vehicle. The case should be a bit bigger.

"...Oh, yes, they come in a handy plastic box that stores well in the trunk." Read more
"Very hard to get tight, and harder to get it around the back of the tire." Read more
"Size chart was very helpful and they fit and performed great, make sure to have your time numbers ready when purchasing! Awesome price!..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the traction of the snow chain. Some mention that it gives great traction with a minimum of rumble lifesaver in the snow, while others say that it does not feel very safe as it has poor traction. They say that there is still some slip on starts, and it feels bumpy as hell at a slow speed.
"...(instructions say keep it to round 30 or 35, I believe) but no slipping or sliding. Braking wasn't a problem, nor was getting going from a stop...." Read more
"...Handling was excellent. My car stopped and started very well. I did not drive in snow higher than four inches or so...." Read more
"...I never got stuck once. These cables just dug right in and kept on gripping...." Read more
"...checked each car, and each time I stopped and started again my tires would slip. It just didn't feel right...." Read more

Installation is easy and quick if you know what you're doing. Instructions are not great, but OK. Just make sure to practice before you actually need them! They seem to be very durable, too. While I use them only a couple of times per winter, this is the fourth winter that my first set is holding up. I got a back-up set to avoid getting stranded somewhere, but so far, I've only been using the first set. Oh, yes, they come in a handy plastic box that stores well in the trunk.
My only complaint is that the chains were hard to get tight. I'll admit this is my first time putting chains on my car. I did a trial run before my trip and put them on in a parking lot in front of my apartment. The concept seemed simple enough and indeed it was easy to put them off and take them off according to the video and paper instructions. Once I was on the mountain and pulled over in the chain control area, I did exactly the same thing as I had practiced. Got them on in a few minutes and then got back in my car. When I stepped on the gas, my tires seemed to spin for a bit until my car actually got moving. I thought this might have been normal since it was my first time. But it was stop and go traffic all the way until the actual officer checked each car, and each time I stopped and started again my tires would slip. It just didn't feel right. I asked the officer if my chains were on properly. He gave them a tug and said they were still too lose and I had to pull over to tighten them. THIS was the hard part. In my practice I had managed to get 2 bushings through the hole, and it took me a good 15 minutes on the side of the road to wrestle around and get that third bushing through to tighten everything up. Once I managed to figure out the trick, it wasn't that difficult though.
My recommendation is that these are good for basic chains, but can be tricky to put on or take off for non-experienced people. For putting them on make sure you get the inside of the tire tight (really tight) first, before you do the outside of the tire. For taking them off, make sure your tire is not resting on top of any of the cables, or else you won't be able to pull to get enough slack to loosen the bushings out of the slot.
I made the mistake of not putting these on the car before the snow started. There were only a couple of inches on the ground when I did, but the instructions (and just about every other review, probably) say to test fit them first so you'll know what you're doing when you really need them. Anyone who knows me knows I did not do that, so they took me a little longer to get around the tires than they should have. It isn't a difficult process, but doing it the first time with snow already under those tires is a pain and makes it take longer than it should. So please, for your own sake, if you know snow is coming the next day, put them on before it starts falling. If the forecast was wrong you can always take them off again.
Once these things were on, they worked like a champ. When it snows, I have to work. The snow started falling that Friday and I drove to work right at the beginning of it. I did not put the chains on the tires until after I arrived. Like I said above, there were already a couple of inches on the ground by then, which made the process more difficult. I probably spend about half an hour doing it. By the time I left work that night, there were probably 6 or 7 inches on the ground. While that may not be a lot for many of you reading this, it's a lot for us here in Richmond, VA. Since the snow was coming down pretty steadily, the snow plows hadn't been able to accomplish much at that point, and a lot of the roads I had to take had not been touched. But, with these chains on the tires the Focus had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The traction light did not come on one time--and it's pretty sensitive, usually lighting up whenever the car hits a decent-sized puddle. There was no speeding down the road (instructions say keep it to round 30 or 35, I believe) but no slipping or sliding. Braking wasn't a problem, nor was getting going from a stop. I only had a couple of small hills to traverse, but there were no problems there, either.
Fast-forward to Sunday morning, and it was a different of a story. The car had been parked since Friday night when I got home (not sure how I managed to NOT have to work Saturday, but I wasn't complaining). By then, there were 14 inches of snow on the road (my road had not yet seen a plow of any kind) and it had drifted up over the headlights on the Focus. In that situation, the chains really couldn't do much at all. Even after I dug out the car, this snow didn't pack very well, so it was impossible to get "on top of it". The chains really couldn't do much when the snow was high enough for the front bumper to be acting like a plow. Fortunately a real plow came along just in time for me to leave for work. It only had time to make one pass, so there were still about 6 inches on the ground when I was able to leave, but that was no more of a problem than it had been Friday night.
So overall I was pleased with how the chains worked. For a small car like the Focus, they make 6 or 7 inches of snow no problem to navigate. Having true winter tires might work just as well but chains are a lot cheaper--especially when you live in a place where you'll only have to use them once or twice a year.

Installed the chains only after jacking up my car for an easier install. There was a noise which came from the wire that come loose from the plastic clips.
After about 30 mins the noise came back and I had to use zip tide it together to stop the noise.
After about 75km of driving 1 of the cross member broke while driving. Tried to repair on the side the road and wasn't able to.I just zipped tide the broken cross member to the inside wire hub.
Today as I was driving to a cleints office one side of the chain completely broken and lost somewhere on the roads, I only noticed after I parked.
After leaving the cleints office, I drove to another cleint and on the way the other side of the chains broke. Now I don't have any chains just before another dump of snow
Hard to put on and take off but worth it!
