Most Popular Drape Over Tire - Make Connections for 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon

Expensive but worth it I think. Very similar in design to other less expensive versions from a different mfr but these do appear to be of a higher quality. Easy to install once I figured it out during a trial run in the garage and will probably be the same in real conditions. You would not want the first time you take them out of the box to be when you need them on the side of a road in freezing weather. Excellent customer service as others have mentioned, and super quick free deliver.

After checking your website again, was disappointed to find you have lowered the price (about $3) in the last few days from the price I paid. Delivered as scheduled. Have tried them on - When looping thru red rings to tighten, essentially no room to stretch across wheel, so barely hook second link after second ring. skipping second ring makes no difference. 10 minutes to install first one. Second one only took 5-6 minutes. Both times are plus vehicle movement to tighten as instructed. Have bought them as 'insurance' for ski trip to Colorado and hope they stay in carrying case! Not sure why your website says they don't fit 2017 Subaru Outback, as mine has 225/65R17 tires and website shows it fits that tire size. Title sheet on case does not include that tire size. I had found another website where a Subaru expert recommended this TC1555 as one of the few chain fitting my car due to the very limited space between car and tire. Have added pliers, gloves, zip ties, knee pad and plastic bags (so I don't get wet kneeling in snow) to carrying case.

Purchased these for occasional trips into snow country "just in case". Very fast delivery and a better price than similar items from other source's. Practice installation at home in sunshine with a nice smooth driveway, easy! I did find the tensioning chain is too short to feed through even the 1st red ring but I got enough angle on it to lock into place. Tires are 225/65-17 on a 2017 Subaru Outback. Clearance to suspension is very limited but these "Class S" chains do fit. 9 months later and 3rd trip into the snow, chains were required. Installation wasnt as easy as the practice runs. Chains kept getting tangled as they were pushed through the snow behind the tires while parked on the side of the road. Probably my lack of experience more than the design. Once on and the tension checked after a short distance, all was well. I was a bit uneasy with the short tensioner chain so added another one with 6 connecting points. After about 30 miles of hard ice, packed snow and patches of freshly plowed blacktop, it was time to remove the chains. One side was off in 30 seconds. The other got snagged on something and it took a few minutes of feeling around behind the wheel to get it cleared. Again, this was probably my inexperience not the design. Subaru's are amazing in the snow but with these chains on there was never any doubt about getting through the worst of the ice. A few of the links and a tensioner channel had some obvious wear marks. Otherwise I was pleasantly surprised that they were in such good condition, paint was barely even scratched! Fit to the tires and function was excellent in my experience. I would recommend them and probably get more for other vehicles.

Easy on after untangling. Safely up the mountain with no problem. Easy off. Found that individually bagging each chainset reduced tangling and eased storage in the provided carrying case. Hope this helps. Thanks etrailer.com for being there.

The chains were very easy to install - particularly for a first-time user. My wife and I were able to quickly understand the installation process. The chains do tend to get tangled during storage and presents the biggest challenge. But once untangled, you can install both sides in just a couple of minutes. Now we wait for an opportunity to use them....

Great chains. I use a set of four on a subaru outback. Living at elevation, snow and ice. Not uncommon wintertime scene. Pretty easy on (have a pair of leather gloves and headlamp), five minutes ideally to get all four on in the dark. Practice with them before the storm. Very easy off. Will vibrate your teeth out if travelling on plowed roads, but that's not what they're intended for anyway. Take them off and throw them in the trunk.

The chains came in and fit perfectly and they also store under the back storage area. Cannot wait to be able to use them. Will post pics after the first snow.

I give these chains an excellent from my limited experience using them. I never did use them. I did however do a practice run once and put them on. It was very easy. I then took it off and placed it back in the carrying case. That too was easy and it fit back in nicely. Construction seemed solid. I just bought a new pair for a new car from etrailer.

Product fits as intended and came in quickly!

I bought, hoping never to use. But, if in a pinch, I wanted something that was simple to install and self tightening. I installed once just for practice, and to insure it was the proper fit. The Town & Country does not have a lot of front wheel well clearance, and this choice fits well.

Easy to install and remove. Provides excellent traction on sketchy roads.

Got me through the Snoqualmie pass near Seattle. Easy to put on. Easy to take off. Great!

They fit great on my 2001 subaru outback which never leaves the property. We live on a steep drive and needed a safe way to get up and down our gravel drive in the snow and ice. These chains worked great. Now we can drive up and down in a very controlled manner. Very easy to install.Thanks

These are great for my minivan on my rural mail route. Unplowed roads and driveways are no problem. They install quickly and easily and are a much smoother ride than the ladder style tire chains.

I just received the tire chains and the tag on the container that spells out the tire sizes they fit doesn't include the tire size I ordered. Its 225/75R 16. What now? We are leaving on a trip shortly and I needed those chains. Please call me asap. Thanks!!

First, I don't think I've ever had better service from an online retailer. Just outstanding. The chains got here incredibly fast. The chains themselves, I've used these before when they were made by Thule. Overall they do not seem as heavy-duty but I could be wrong & will update after I've used them. This time I got the kind without the quick-release feature, as I've gotten that feature twice in the past & both times it was the first thing to go. I was still able to use the chains without it but it was a waste. So I got the other one, where one end slips inside the other & there isn't a quick release, but I expect it will be fine. Just not having to drive back & forth makes it easy for one person to put on the chains & that's really the best feature. I use these on an old honda civic & they've always worked really well. I got bungee-type tensioners as well, since the last ones were always a bit loose even with the "auto tensioner" on 13-inch rims. I will update after I use them but we haven't had any snow yet.

Just in time for the snow

Great customer service via the website and chat function. Quality product and rapid delivery. I will trybindtalling the chains on my Outback this weekend. Winter is coming!

Tunnel View at Yosemite. Chains worked perfectly, but not quite as easy to install as the video would suggest. I made the mistake of pulling over into 3-4 inches of snow to put them on. The snow packed around the base of the tire made it very difficult. That's not something you encounter when practicing in your nice warm garage. But once on, the chains stayed secure, and the car handled and braked with confidence.

My chains arrived yesterday. After unpacking them, I was impressed by the good looking and functional case they come in. I viewed the instruction video twice, and feel confident that my first real use will be easy. I am heading over the mountains of British Columbia this upcoming weekend, and have every expectation for our typical high-altitude winter conditions. I feel sure that my trusty F-450's slightly worn dually's drive tires will take almost anything in stride . . . (at 30 MPH ;-)

Correct fit as ordered for oversized SUV wheels & tires for 1991 Bronco. Appreciate the color coding for easy installation.

No snow yet but the practice installation went great! So simple my 6 year-old helped make sure I was following the instructions properly. Time will tell if I need them and how they work in the upcoming North Idaho snow plowing season. Fit great on my 275/70R18 tires. I appreciate the carrying case they came with, also!

the chains that Gwendolyn sent me fit perfectly. And, they arrived in time to take them on a 2,900mile trip. As it turned out, I didn't have to use them, as the weather let up, and got through the Rockies and the Cascades with no need for chains. Better to have them and not use them, than need them and not have them.

I have to say I'm extremely satisfied with these tire chains!! They're so aggressive and work well with my corolla. My at is front wheel drive and the weight of the motors sits perfectly in line with the tire/chain combination. They bite and dig right in the snow and ice. My drive way is very long as you can see and quite dangerous in snowy conditions. I've had numerous times where I've had to slip the chains on and it was a breeze. They're so easy to put on and off. I feel extremely confident throughout the winter season with the Thule tire chains in the back of my trunk. Thank you so much! You guys have great products going!

Due to our new residence location (Big Bear Lake CA) I've been researching tire chain specs and options. My past experience was only seasonal, but now that we live here permanently I wanted the most effective design and durable materials....not only for my Jeep, but my wife's Honda. Just received both via UPS last week. Nice product and packaging. Now just waiting for the snow!
