When snow piles up or you’re dealing with icy hills, these Konig chains grip where regular tires can’t. The diamond pattern gives steady contact with the road, so you get constant traction instead of the slip-and-grab feeling you get from ladder styles. The square links bite into snow and light ice, helping you crawl up or down steep driveways and back roads with confidence.
Once you hook them up and start rolling, the chains tighten and center themselves automatically. That means no pulling over to readjust. The design saves time and keeps the chain snug so you can focus on driving instead of worrying about tension. It’s a big help when the weather turns and you just want to get where you’re going safely.
Each link has a square shape that digs in well while staying smooth enough for on-road use. You get less vibration than with big, round links, so the ride feels more controlled. The low-profile build meets SAE Class S standards, working well when clearance is tight but traction still matters.
These chains are built from high-quality manganese nickel alloy steel, so they hold up to winter moisture and road salt. The coated hooks keep them from freezing to your fingers, and nylon bumpers protect your wheels from scratches. Dry them off before stowing them in the durable storage case, and they’ll be ready for the next round of snow.
Because they’re lightweight and come in a tough case with a kneeling mat, these chains are easy to keep in your trunk all winter. When that unexpected storm rolls in, you can have them on and tensioned quickly—just drape, connect, and drive.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the line of Konig's CG9 snow tire chains. So these tire chains are a really simple install. I know you're going to be using these in a probably not ideal weather, so being able to throw these on your tires in a quick manner is probably going to be the best way to do it. So it is very, very easy to install.
Like I said, it does come with a built in tensioner so you don't have to bring any extra materials with you. Also it was a tool free installation, so you don't have to worry about bringing those together either. It is a manganese nickel alloy chain, which is going to last a very long time and resist against all that salt on the road when there's snow. So it does have a nice diamond pattern to it.It's going to give you a lot more surface area compared to your ladder style chains. So these CG9 tire chains are going to have a very low profile.
As you can see here, we don't have a whole lot of wheel space but it is SAE S class certified so you don't really have to worry about any rubbing. This is a relatively smaller D link shaped type snow chain and what that's going to do, it's going to basically not give you such a radical difference between the rubber and the tips of your chains and that's going to give you a smoother ride when you're going down the road. And these also are going to protect your rim as well when they are installed. As you can see, the closest parts of this tire chain are plastic and especially this rubber tensioner here and a plastic is designed for this part right here, and that's not going to really make any damage to any type of wheel that you may have.So these do come in and pair of two and for your all wheel drive applications. Just grab another pair of two on etrailer.com.
It does come in a nice sturdy case. A lot of them come in canvas bags, which eventually wear and tear over time. So having a nice, sturdy, plastic case is always nice to be able to store them when you're not using them. It is a honestly really, really simple install. It's going to protect your rim.
Like we said earlier, it does have a built in tensioner, so you don't have to bring any additional tools or equipment for them to be installed. It's relatively easy. And on top of that it's going to get the job done. So let's just go ahead and install them together. So the first thing you're going to want to do when you're planning on putting these on your tires is lay them all flat. Make sure everything is nice and straight, there's no kinks in your links. And once all that is done, then you can go ahead and feed the Konig tensioner first, back around your tire.And once you do that, grab all this, go behind your tire and you go ahead and connect them. And while you're back here, just take your chains, start draping them over. We want to get this part right in the middle of our tread. Once you get them nice in place, you go ahead and take your red hook, hook it to your red link, and then you can go to the bottom here. And you do have this self tensioner right here and you pull this back, put that in there, and then give it a nice tug. Once you think it's nice and snug, you grab this other plastic red lever and connect it to your loop down low. Make sure everything's nice and tight, and we do recommend that you roll over these a couple times. Go back out check and make sure everything's nice and tight, and once it is, then you're ready to hit the road again. Well, thanks for watching at our look at the Konig's CG9 tire chains.

That's a pretty awesome shot you took, John! Before I read your review I looked at your pic and I can see what you mean how it would be difficult to put the chains on with all the snow packed under there. I'm glad that you were able to get them on and enjoy the rest of the drive.

These tire chains got me out of jam recently when I had gone down a 1 lane thanks to massive snow road and there was no place to turn around. I put on the chains and was able to do a multi-point turn to get back down the road with ease.

Turned out pretty well. They fit snugly and only hard part about putting them on was enduring the cold when trying to close up the links without gloves. Only used a few times but they certainly did the job.
