Glacier V-Trac Snow Tire Chains Review - Video
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 more

Thule XB16 Tire Chains Review - Video
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. more
