Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains Review - 2015 Kia Sportage- Video
Today on our 2015 Kia Sportage we'll be installing the Glacier Cable Snow Chains, part number PW1038. With our cable chain laid out, one end is going to have the adjustable notches. These notches will go into the eyelets on the other end, taking up as much slack as possible. If we have enough, the cable will lap over and go through the cable keeper where it'll get secured so that the excess doesn't flap around and potentially damage the brake line or wiring going to the caliper. Note, if you do not have enough length to reach the cable keeper you can also trim it right behind the notches to prevent fraying. You can also set it up for this specific vehicle and tire size and trim it as necessary right behind the notches. Another way to keep the cable would be to use a couple of zip-ties holding to the main outside cable. With our tire chain laid out we'll make sure that the cross-chain hook is going to face out away from the tire and that the smooth surface will be against the tire and sidewall so that we don't damage the tire. We're now ready to go ahead and put our cable chain in place. more
