Thule Self Tensioning Tire Chains Demonstration (Model XG12) - Video

Today we are going to show you part number TH01584225. What this is, is a Thule Tire Chain Kit. Today we are going to be demonstrating this product on a tire size 265-70R16. What is really nice about this tire chain kit is it does not require you to drive over a chain, so it simply wraps around the tire. Connect a few easy connection points and then just go ahead and drive off, with this easy-to-use, self-tensioning system. As you can see here, we have our tire chain laid out. And as you tell, there is one end that is labeled yellow. And what will happen is that end will get put behind this tire and will meet up to the other end that is blue. Next you will see the chains themselves. They actually come around over across the top of the tire. Then, once you get them across the top of the tire, you will link the small hooks and small red links together. There is one on each end of the chains, at the very end. In the middle, you will see a tensioning cable that actually will be connected back to the other Thule tensioning device, back on the right side. We will actually go ahead and install it and show you how it works. more
