The inside of the tire chain assembly consists of a plastic covered inner hoop that loops around the inside of the tire. The ends of the cable fasten together in a type of ball and socket arrangement as shown in the photo I have provided for you.

If you take a look at the video I have linked to, you can see exactly how the chains install.
