installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today in our 2013 Ford Edge we will be installing the glacier cable snow tire chains, part #PW1046, with tire size P235/65-R17. Now these cable chains are perfect for the occasional use. They are rugged steel wire covered with hard steel rollers for traction. To begin with the installation we will lay our chains out flat on the ground and make sure we get out any tangles or kinks that may be in the chains. Now we will lay the chains over the tire making sure that the cross-chains are centered on the tread of the tire and the hooks are facing out. After we drape the chains over the tire we will need to move to the inside of the tire where we will go ahead and take the cable eyelet and fit it through the opposite side cable end.
We will take out as much slack as possible and then take the additional tab and secure any leftover cable. Now here on the outside of the tire we will take the two ends and slide the cable eyelet, again through the cable tab at the other end, taking up as much slack as possible, and then securing the remaining cable. Note it is not necessary to be on the exact same cable eyelet as inside and outside. We can be one eyelet difference in either direction. Next we will go ahead and use the rubber tensioning tool part#pw100 and we will work around the tire in an even space shape, to further secure the chain to the tire.
Thats it and we are ready to hit the road. That does it for our test fit of the glacier cable snow tire chain, part #pw1046, in conjunction with the cable tensioner, part #pw100 with tire size P235/65-R17, on our 2013 Ford Edge.

The tire chains arrived in a very short time; much faster than I expected. Although I haven't used them yet, they look to be exactly what I wanted. Appear to be a good product at a reasonable price.6659

I use the product on a limited basis (really snowy conditions) but they provide great traction. I have 4wd with my JGC so accelerating and driving aren't the problem, it's the stopping. Even at slow speeds, driving down windy hills on the commute is problematic for any SUV. These chains definitely provide the traction you need in back road driving. Plus you do not have to shell out $600 on snow tires. 6655

Bought these as "insurance" for our cars (bought a pair for our SUV and commuter car). I haven't used them yet but I think this is a good product w/ simple instructions and a nice carrying bag w/ handles. 6586
