Glacier V-Trac Snow Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to install the Glacier V-Trac snow chains, part number PW2121V. We are going to lay out the tire chains. We will point out that we have this smooth side of the chain itself actually goes against the tire and this part faces the outside. Alright, we will go ahead and drape them over the tire. When you drape them over the tire, make sure that you have the cable with three stops pointing towards the outside. Try to get these junctions right here evenly tight. After your first time, you will probably have to look at the back side. Probably judge to make sure you have them even on both sides of the tire. We will grab the inside part of the chain and make the connection back there. 0:50


Thule - K-Summit Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to show you the Thule K-Summit self-adjusting snow tire chains, part number TH02230K34. Included with the case of the chains is a durable, attractive storage bag so that you can keep your chains in your vehicle. Also included are a few set of instructions and a tool kit that provides all of the parts and tools needed to attach the K-Summit chains on a variety of lug sizes. There is also a package of repair links if you need to make a road side repair on your chains, as well as a pair of plastic gloves to help keep your hands clean when installing your chains. The Thule K-Summit chains are designed for use on vehicles with large diameter rims and narrow profile tires. The K-Summits attach to the face of the wheel, eliminating any need to run any cables or chains behind the tire. They also feature minimal contact with the rim to prevent damaging expensive finishes. They also attach to one of the lug nuts on the wheels and automatically adjust and tension as you drive. The chains feature dual-sided, D-shaped links made out of alloy steel to provide solid traction. 1:02


Thule XG12 Pro Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to review Thule tire chains part number TH01594255. This is one of Thules top of the line chains. This is their XG12. With this part number you get two chains and you have also a repair link. And you get plastic pieces that go on the chain itself to protect the rim, of course instructions, a mat to kneel on and some plastic gloves. A few features of these chains are a patented self-centering and self-tensioning system that makes it for easy, really quick installation and a very good fit. These chains also have a feature of D-shaped links to increase traction and also have double steel plates as well to dig in for superior grip into the ice. 0:39

Thule XB16 Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to show you part number TH01571250 from Thule. This is Thules XB16 tire chains. As shown here, the tire chains come in a nice carrying box. Also the kit comes with a pair of gloves to help keep your mitts dry while you are installing the chains. It even comes with a couple of extra repair links. And finally it comes with a little kneeling mat to keep your knees from getting wet while you are kneeling in the snow. These tire chains use unique, color-coded connection points to ease installation. Basically you are just matching color for color to put everything together. This is also compatible with anti-lock braking and electronic stability control systems on some of the newer cars and trucks. Actually this set is specially made for commercial vehicles, RVs and for off-road adventures, too. Construction is hardened manganese nickel alloy steel. The chain link diameter is about 16 millimeters and it has internal clearance required to operate within the fender well of about 16 millimeters too. This does come complete with a 1-year warranty. Now we will go ahead and show you how it works and show you a typical installation.


Thule CS10 Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to show you part number TH00204102 from Thule. This is one of their tire chains, and this is their CS10 model. As you can see here, it comes with a carrying case, and you can carry both chains. Off to the right-hand side is a pair of gloves to help keep your mitts dry while you install the snow chains. Also, there is a set of extra repair links that come with. And then also, off to the left of that is a handle, and that is part of the quick-release system, which is one of the benefits of this actual part number here. It makes it really easy to disconnect the chain and take it off of the vehicle. And finally there is a kneeling mat so when you kneel down of course you will not get your knees wet. It has a patented self-centering and self-tensioning system. The tensioning system actually centers the chain on the tire as you drive. The pattern on the chain is asymmetrical, diamond-pattern chain with icebreaker reinforcements. And this will not affect anything like anti-lock braking systems and electronic stability control systems. And next we will go ahead and install this chain and show you how it works and how it looks.


Thule CB12 Tire Chains Review

Today we are going to show you part number TH01221102 from Thule. This is their CB12 tire chains. As you can see here, the chains come in a handy carrying case. I have one of the chains in the center also you have a package with some gloves that you can wear over your mittens and whatnot to keep them dry while you are putting the chains on. Also there is an extra pair of links so in the unlikely event that you break a chain you can fix it rather easily. Also there is a kneeling mat so you do not get your knees wet while you go ahead and install the chains. A few quick notes about these. It does feature color-coded connection points to ease installation. A plastic-covered cable runs from behind the tire to allow you to move the chain without moving the car. The links themselves are a dual-sided D-shape that provides greater traction. And also this will not mess up anything with anti-lock brake systems or electronic stability control systems. It is really designed for passenger-type vehicles. We will go ahead and show you how it fits and how it installs on a typical tire.
