Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
The Konig CG-9 tire chains are great all-purpose, winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice, these Konig chains are perfect because they're durable, easy to mount, and give you constant traction - and they're lightweight and compact, so they store in your vehicle nicely too. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.
These chains are among the easiest and fastest to install because they self-tension and self-center as you drive, ensuring a perfect fit, no matter the profile or wear pattern of your tire. Plus, you only have to get out of your vehicle one time - once they're installed, there's no need to drive forward, stop, and recheck their tension.
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. Even these low-profile chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Installing these chains is incredibly simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in them.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the blue cable, which will sit behind the tire.
3. Around front, connect the red hook to the red link.
4. At the bottom of the tire, feed the tensioning chain through the large clip. Pull it and secure to the red hook attached to the tensioning cable.
Drive forward so that the chains can self-tension and self-center, giving you a perfect fit.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

This chains saved me last winter. I was driving through a winter storm. I like that it is easy put on. I did it without practicing beforehand. The ride with the chains were smooth and not very bumpy. The chains hold up really well even after a year. The price is reasonable.
One thing that I dont like is that the box that came with the snow chains arrived with broken clips. I did not bother asking for a new box, so i am using duct tape to keep it closed. I recommend this product if you are looking for a snow chain
Pleased with the quality of the chains that come in a convenient plastic case for tidy storage in the trunk. I have not used them yet but assume they will be easy to put on the car. They are as advertized and ETrailer did everything required in processing my order and shipping. There were no complications. I would use them again when I need different chains for a different car.
Chains broke after ~4 uses - one of the links down the center of the tire. I've used chains for years, they were installed correctly and I always drive less than 30mph. Luckily I still had my old chains in the car to get home.
Ist time putting them on, it took me 15 minutes for both wheels. Two families me installed them and said they are going to buy them.
Fantastic traction, helped me out big time today in the Rockies. Easier to put on then to take off.
Amazing tire chains, never had any issu es.
The chains have not been used.
I bought them just in case it was needed on my trip. When it arrived, I tried fitting it to the tire. It was easy to install and fit perfectly. The design is excellent and at 9 mm thick, there was ample clearance between the inside of the tire wall and the shock absorber. It also had protective caps to prevent scratching of the alloy wheels.
I had tried another make that was advertised as only 6 mm thick, but in reality was in jeopardy of scraping the shock absorber because of its stiff joints. There was also no protection for potential scratching of the alloy wheels.
Excellent chains, can be put on in minutes w/out prior experience, instructions are printed on the case for easy access in frustrating moments. Will buy this brand from this store in the future.
I placed an order recently for Thule self tensioning tire chains for snow and ice for my 2017 Honda Civic car. The staff was professional and returned to me a refund on my shipping cost due to the item at the time being unavailable to be shipped in a short period of time. I decided to wait until the product became available. I received the product. It is a practical and solid product with a case and easily fits in my trunk leaving plenty of other space as needed. Thank you.
Hello - thanks for sending the chains for my tires. I haven't yet had the chance to use them in the snow, and my fingers are crossed that I don't have to. However, I was very appreciative of how well the products were described on the website, and they even had links to videos on how to hook the chains up. I was able to practice putting them on, and technology has come a long way from the past chains I have used where you lay them out, then drive over them and then hook them up. It took less than 5 minutes to hook up one tire, the instructions are clear, and they fit as expected for my size tire. The case that they come in is compact, and well organized. I will revisit this review if they don't hold up as expected in the snow, as that's where the true test is, but for now - all has been a great experience.
works excellent on Ford Transit Connect front wheel drive - back roads up in the hills of Oklahoma
Arrived on time. Super easy to install. This is my second order of these chains for another car. Used them several times with no issues.
Extremely easy to install on the tires. After a couple practice runs, I can have each tire chain on and secure in about 45 seconds. These are definitely worth every penny when you're in a turnout getting snowed on.
Ordering delivery compact weight ease of install quiet confident traction good for sport coupe and local conditions
The chains arrived very quick and were very easy to install ,look great on my hhr waiting for snow to try them out thank you so much.

Yes it has been e year of snow storms and ice ,they worked great for the times I had to use them.thanks again.
Arrived fast! This is the replacement for exactly the same model that use to be Thule and lasted 5 years.
Overall I’m pleased with the service you provided with one exception. When I looked for chains for my Chevy Volt I thought I was being directed to the correct product but that was not the case. So I had to send the chains back at a cost of about twenty dollars. I do feel that it was your mistake not mine. If not for that you would certainly have received a five star rating.
