Do Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains Need Separate Adjuster

Question

Question:

Im confused. These Konig tire chains Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 255 - TH2004705255 are listed as self-tensioning, but one of your experts said I need to buy separate rubber tensioning adjusters to go with them. If these truly are self-tensioning, why do I need the separate adjusters Titan TCMA2 that she mentioned?

I took a look at all of the Q&A's that are on the product page of the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH2004705255 and was unable to find any that referenced using a separate rubber adjuster. With that said, they definitely are not needed with these tire chains because like you mentioned, they simply tension by themselves automatically when you start to drive off. These are extremely easy to use and if you need snow chains with the most simplicity, it doesn't get much better.

We have a similar set of Titan twist link tire chains that fit your tire size of 265/75-16 with the part #TC2228 but the size you mentioned would not fit so you would not want to go with them.
