Thule's innovative design makes the XG-12 snow chains for SUV and Cross-over vehicles quick and easy to attach and remove. Once the chain is looped around the tire and the three color-coded connections are made, the patented self-centering and automatic-tensioning system takes over while you drive away, creating a perfect fit. You only need to get out of the car once!
Thule snow chains are handmade in Italy of hardened manganese nickel alloy steel for durability. Features dual-sided, 12-mm-diameter, D-shaped links that provide superior traction for the highest grip on snow and ice. Anti-scratch nylon bumpers protect the vehicle's wheel rims. Included with each pair of chains are mounting instructions, a kneeling mat and pair of gloves packaged in a sturdy container. Thule's XG-12 tire snow chains are backed by a one-year warranty.
