Konig K-Summit Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Self Tensioning - 1 Pair

Fits tight as a drum! The K44 is nice and snug on my 19’s. Kinda nervous about the stress on the tensioning strap and lug nut clinchers, but these things will be sweet if the Engineers did their job right! Only plan to use these for a few miles at a time, so if all goes well they’ll last me a good long while454929

Great product and fast shipping from etrailer. I purchased the Konig K-Summit chains for my 2011 BMW 535i. They are easy to install and take off. Make sure you install the chains at home before you need them. The lug nut attachments that came in the box would not fit the lug nuts on my cars wheel, so I had to obtain an attachment that did fit. Do not exceed 30MPH when the chains are installed. The chains will come apart and damage your car if you exceed the speed restriction. Unfortunately, this happened to me when using my first pair of Thule K-Summit chains - new tire and body damage $2,000. But if you stay below 30MPH , the chains are great.348371

I only used it one time during the year,but it sure came in handy. It is particularly useful for me because of the very limited space in the wheel well of the Genesis coup. Fitting to the lug bolt was a little tricky but did work.
I try to travel into the Rockies at least once a winter so that’s why I bought the chains590778

After having a hard time figuring out how to assembly it due to lack of written instructions along with the illustration, I was able to mount them with technical help from the manufacurer engineering dept. I am very unsure if I made a good choice in purchasing this product. I was led by the marketing of easiness of installation. Now I realize that if one link on the chain breaks, the whole chain safety is compromise whereas in a standard cheaper model (+- $40) you can just remove one link across the tire and replace it easily.
According to Tech. dept. from Thule if on single linkin this chain breaks you can use an emmergency link tighted with plier, but the chain needs to be mailed back to Thurle for repair or replacement. This is a hassle for such a high priced, premium, "ahead of time design". Sure the idea is good, but needs improvement.
The same design that makes it easy of use, renders it useless in case of a broken link. I have not driven with them on snow, but I already see its flaw and I am unsure if I made a wise investment.
It came with one year warranty, but you get the hassle of having to return them for replacement while you go to Pep Boys and buy a cheaper reliable cable chain while the white elephant is in the shop.
What if it breaks after the one year warranty? Waht happened to your U$ 405 plus shipping investment that should bring you peace of mind?
These are a few thought I want to share with you.
Have a great day.8216

I received the packaged and I'm very satisfied so far. Tomorrow morning I will fit the chains on the tires to see if my purchased is "A" one.442078

So far so good. I’m waiting for snow before I give 5 stars.
It’s recommended you fit the chains before you actually need them to get familiar with the innovative design. I had to remove all 5 yellow bolts since my wheels are larger. Keep the extra hardware but you won’t need them unless you change cars.
Once fitted you’re good to go.
Wear gloves to mount them in about 5 minutes.

I received excellent service from William at etrailer.com. He promptly answered my questions and took my order. The tire chains were shipped the same day and delivered as promised. Kudos to etrailer for their customer service.1456859

Purchased these awesome chains because my 2019 traverse has custom wheels (wider) so traditional chains/cables that wrap around the wheels would cause damage to my brake components. The instructions in the manual can be a little confusing but read and watch the tutorial video and you'll be good to go. I had to remove the exact amount of bolts from the chains it recommended in the manual for my wheels, 5 if I remember correctly. After a couple dry runs installing/removing at home I was ready for big bear. The family and I spent Thanksgiving up on big bear and yes, it snowed A LOT!! The chains worked great and along with a lot of looks from other drivers, I even got compliments from the locals there that obviously are used to driving with chains. When it came time to take them off halfway down the mountain, it was super fast and easy I was done in no time. NOTE: the bolt that goes over the lug nut leaves an indentation on your lug nuts, especially if your vehicle has the chrome finished ones like mine does. Have to buy a new set of front wheel lug nuts and use the old ones for when we drive up to the snow again and use these cool chains! 729961

So these are really expensive but there weren't a lot of options for my wide 22" tires. Are they worth it? Absolutely! These are my first chains so I wasn't sure what to expect, but once you make the initial size adjustments, it is super easy to get these on! I've seen other cars on the side of the road struggling to get their traditional chains on, where you have to lay down the chains, drive over, then wrap them around the tire and secure them.

With these, I just unfold them, push them onto the tires as far as they will go over the top and front and back, and slowly drive forward until they auto-adjust in place. A quick stop to double-check and make sure they are on all the way, and off I go.

Love them!1691400

Although I have not had a chance to use the chains yet, the chains were easy to assemble and put on my truck tires. I received the order in plenty of time before my trip so that was a huge plus.1745141

Bought these for my Model X and so far I’ve only needed to use them a few times. These chains were pretty easy to put on. The hard part is making sure the lug nut grabber has thoroughly grabber the nut so the chains clamp down properly. Watch some YouTube. Videos

The instructions are pretty clear on how to adjust these for your tire size. Do that adjustment as soon as you can after purchase. As this is not fun to do on the side of the road.1700676

I'm going to start this off by saying they were a bit on the pricey side. But then I'm going to say that they were definitely worth it. They are easy to put on and take off. They hold very securely, and they handle magnificently. I spent last winter driving over the Donner Summit in California every single weekend and the chains kept my Lexus in complete control the entire time. I would definitely buy them again.1689862

Received my Konig K-Summit "K-79's" today. Made the adjustments for my 2023 RAM 1500 Limited tire (285/45/22). Test fitted the Chains as requested. I found the installation easy and straight forward. Hoping things go well in the snow if needed.1696869

Awesome grip. Easy to put in and take off. Great for low-clearance (oversized) wheels. Worth the price.1222651

Shipment was delayed and therefore unusable for my long holiday roadtrip. I paid ~$[XX] expedited shipping for no reason.1704676

Fantastic product! The chains were easy to set up and install on my Audi Q7. They worked perfectly.

You will never find better customer service than what I received from etrailer.com and Konig (Pewag). I wish all companies were that good!734896

Stay the away from this dangerous, poorly designed, incredibly overpriced, disaster waiting to happen, product.
After following etrailers tire size calculator I ordered the K Summit chains for my Mercedes AMGGLC 43. I live full-time in a Mountain Community at 6000 feet and I’ve had many vehicles and experiences with tire chains and cables. I ordered these chains because of their supposed efficacy with high-performance vehicles with low profile tires, etc. Despite adequate practice pre-storm, by myself and both my sons who are in their 20’s, these over priced dangerous pieces of garbage failed on December 20, 2020 during a blizzard in our community while trying to get my sons to the airport. The right sided chain disappeared after less than 2 miles of driving and we were left stranded in a ditch on the wrong side of the road for days before our vehicle could be towed out due to the high demand in the area. I have been driving in snow conditions since I was a teenager, I am now 65. I have driven in worse conditions with 2 Wheel vehicles with regular chains and rarely failed to get home or around when I needed to. My Mercedes AMG has traction control, all wheel drive, slippery mode, and can be raised to avoid obstacles. Nonetheless, in this unusual freak blizzard, when I needed a chain product the most, these failed me and my family miserably. Their customer support consisted of a never ending chain of transfers from one person or department to another, and to this day I’ve never received a refund or gotten satisfaction. If I could’ve burned the remaining K summit chain I would’ve, but I had to settle for the pleasure of throwing the remaining one away in the expensive case it came in. Do yourself and anyone else you know who is shopping for chains a favor and warm them away from this failure prone overpriced piece of junk. RRT.1187124

The Konig self-tensioning snow chains I purchased were easy to install and worked great. However, I only used them once as a test to check them out. It had snowed just before I received them so the timing was great. I live in an area (East Tennessee) that has steep grades so I tested the chains on the grades-forward and backward while moving, stopped on the steepest grade and able to drive away without slipping, and effective when stopping. The chains were also easy to remove. I've done a lot of driving in the snow all over the US and also in Canada using a variety of chains including ice chains with v bars. The Konig chains were by far the easiest chains I've ever had to install. Incidentally, I have a Trail Rated 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited vehicle which I believe worked nicely to enhance the capabilities of both the Jeep and the chains.597360

etrailer website says Konig K-Summit XXL KON84FR (K78) is VERIFED TO FIT 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with 285/44r22 tires. See screenshot.

After receiving Chains, manual clearly states K79 is REQUIRED to fit 285/44r22 tires. See attached manual pic with highlights.

Also, Konig's website also states K79 is needed. See website screenshot attached.

etrailer does not carry the K79 chains. Also, charged me a ~$xx restocking fee to send back the "Confirmed fit" ones they sent that DO NOT fit.

Any other 2022+ Grand Wagoneer owners with 285/44-25 tires, be warned!1490416

These are super easy to put on and take off. Haven't really needed them too much but when I did use them, they were great.1704269

These chains are clearly a return item. Links removed, dirty, AND they are missing the most essential adapters which I confirmed twice with support and the manufacturer that they included the 17mm, 19, and 21/22mmm. It its the new universal U-Adapter that's fine, but one has 3 grips and the other chain has 5. Clearly a mismatch and neither fit my 17MM lugs. We need to process an RMA/Return and IF you can verify a brand new FULLY outfitted kit I will accept that replacement.1509249
