When roads glaze over with ice or hard-packed snow, these Konig K-Summit chains bite in with square D-links that dig deep to keep traction steady. The diamond pattern keeps more chain in contact with the road at all times, so every rotation of the wheel delivers consistent grip. Built-in traction plates break up surface ice for even more control on slick climbs and descents.
If you’ve ever worried about chains hitting brake lines or suspension parts, these are your answer. The K-Summit system mounts to a wheel lug nut and sits entirely on the tire tread—nothing crosses behind the wheel. They meet SAE Class S standards and require no internal clearance at all. That design also means your rims stay protected, since the chains never touch them.
Stopping to check chain tension in freezing wind isn’t fun. These self-tensioning chains handle it for you. Once attached, they automatically tighten, self-center, and align as you drive. Even on worn tires, the geometry of the K-Summit keeps everything snug around the tread so you can keep rolling with confidence.
Each chain secures directly to a wheel lug nut with one of the included 17 mm, 19 mm, or 21-22 mm adapters. A fixing key threads the adapter and base together, locking the chain in place. When it’s time to take them off, the external release system lets you remove them in seconds. The sturdy arms fold for compact storage in the included nylon bag, ready for the next storm.
These chains combine a tough geometric frame with durable construction for repeated winter use. They’re rated for on-road driving in snow and ice and come backed by a 5-year warranty. With smart engineering and quality materials, the K-Summit gives you dependable traction without sacrificing clearance or your wheel finish.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Ratings & Reviews
Easy to put on, easy to take off, in between nice to drive (on a Kia EV9). I also use those (in smaller size) with a Hyundai Ioniq 5.
As advertised... Read the instructions and put them on quickly and easily. Had to change the lug bolt fastener but that was a snap.
Easy to adjust chain length to the right size by removing links.
Great product, just as described, fits perfect. Shipped immediately!! At my door next day. Great communication from ETrailer. Thanks!!
Great customer service. Functional but some difficulty keeping them on.
Very good product although a little difficult to attach securely. They quickly made good on a warranty claim.
Excellent product. Easy to install and uninstall in 10-15min. Great traction in snow and ice. Highly recommended. Customer service and delivery were perfect. Thanks.
Great customer service! Was able to get a replacement bag that was broken for the tire chains and it came in a week. Thank you for promptly addressing.
Tested it out on a new vehicle at home and it was a pretty straight forward fit. Just make sure you have the right lug nut attachment and spacers set up and the rest is easy.
More importantly, Adam at eTrailer was awesome. Helped me make sure what I needed (very last minute) for our vehicle and tires and was super friendly doing so.
Would definitely buy from Adam again!
I was so impressed with the how fast the delivery service was with etrailer.com The chains are wonderful and easy to install. I also like how friendly their website is to navigate making it easy for me to purchase the right chains for my vehicle.
Easy ordering process chains arrived in Seattle 2 days later with free shipping. Chains were for 275/50 20 tires for a MB GLE 450 Instructions called for (4) pins to be removed. Took 10 mins to put chains on. Instructions were good. I would recommend this product and trailer and etrailer
Fantastic service - from time of placing the order, delivery updates, and follow up.
Yet to use the Chains - but they are in the vehicle for winter emergencies over the passes and into the snow fields. All the information I needed to buy these special chains were on the website, including fitment. Thank you again.
The instructions for chain fittings and installation were detailed and understandable.
The only problem was removing regulation elements for adjusting chain dimension. The nut with "lock tight" required a vise grip because the hex tool would strip the element.
The chains are ready for snow and ice to come.
etrailer was very helpful from beginning to end. I looked everywhere to find the correct snow chains and the moment I logged onto etrailer from online support to verification of sizing my chain and delivery time during holidays was amazing. I highly recommend this coming
They worked good. I tried them a couple times before really needing them. One came off in trial run. The part that goes over the lug needs to be tightened correctly and kept on straight (and be sure to tighten until the wrench clicks) and then not over tighten rachet. I would recommend. I can use this set on multiple vehicles by adding screw tensioner or removing.
Just got my Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K77 (fits my 295/40/21). Instructions were easy to follow, needed to make a couple of adjustments to fit the tire correctly. Now just waiting for the right opportunity to use them. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
Just put the chains on for a practice round. Very straightforward, and I think it will be routine even in difficult conditions. I have large tires, and this was the only product which fit. These are heavy duty chains, and I am very satisfied. etrailer has a user friendly website, and when it looked like the chains wouldn't reach me in time for my next trip, etrailer pulled out all the stops to get them to me before I departed. I will be visiting the website for more products shortly.
I love these chains! I purchased them for a BMW X7 M50i, tire size 275/40r22 in front, 315/35r22 rear. The close fit of the chains fits my snow tires without causing damage to the vehicle or tires. It took a bit to figure out installation - the included directions remind me of IKEA instructions (few words, over simplified pictures). The online videos were the most helpful helpful for set-up/fit adjustment and installation. Also, be sure to get the ratchet assembly as close to flush with the wheel as possible. The chains won’t tighten properly if you fail this step. It took a few attempts to get them on the first time because of the learning curve. And still, it was maybe an hour from start to finish, including the removal of screws and changing the lug nut spacer to customize the fit. Once I had that done, actual installation was maybe 5 minutes. I had to drive further than 5 feet to achieve self-tightening (the videos don’t show this), and definitely check that they are secure before driving at speed. Overall, I am confident I can install these alone in adverse weather conditions, should the need arise. I plan to purchase more for other vehicles.
These things are awesome. Tahoe snow is wet and it freezes. Chains in general are a pita but these are super easy to put on and take off. No tension or torque wrench needed. They self adjust and are quick to put on. Practice first so you can pull out any of the interior links and get the fit right but after that you’re rocking and rolling. I’ve got them on my 2018 Audi Q7 with 20” All Weather run flats. I had to remove one or two of the width adjusting screws.
I received excellent service from William at etrailer.com. He promptly answered my questions and took my order. The tire chains were shipped the same day and delivered as promised. Kudos to etrailer for their customer service.
The Konig self-tensioning snow chains I purchased were easy to install and worked great. However, I only used them once as a test to check them out. It had snowed just before I received them so the timing was great. I live in an area (East Tennessee) that has steep grades so I tested the chains on the grades-forward and backward while moving, stopped on the steepest grade and able to drive away without slipping, and effective when stopping. The chains were also easy to remove. I've done a lot of driving in the snow all over the US and also in Canada using a variety of chains including ice chains with v bars. The Konig chains were by far the easiest chains I've ever had to install. Incidentally, I have a Trail Rated 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited vehicle which I believe worked nicely to enhance the capabilities of both the Jeep and the chains.

Hi Patrick, Maybe its global warming but I havent had any snow required for my Konig chains. However, after my previous excellent experience that I wrote about, Im pretty sure they will work fine if needed. Many thanks for keeping in touch. Best wishes, Gary
Fred was very helpful and made sure I received my snow chains before leaving on my trip.
Fantastic product! The chains were easy to set up and install on my Audi Q7. They worked perfectly.
You will never find better customer service than what I received from etrailer.com and Konig (Pewag). I wish all companies were that good!
Purchased these awesome chains because my 2019 traverse has custom wheels (wider) so traditional chains/cables that wrap around the wheels would cause damage to my brake components. The instructions in the manual can be a little confusing but read and watch the tutorial video and you'll be good to go. I had to remove the exact amount of bolts from the chains it recommended in the manual for my wheels, 5 if I remember correctly. After a couple dry runs installing/removing at home I was ready for big bear. The family and I spent Thanksgiving up on big bear and yes, it snowed A LOT!! The chains worked great and along with a lot of looks from other drivers, I even got compliments from the locals there that obviously are used to driving with chains. When it came time to take them off halfway down the mountain, it was super fast and easy I was done in no time. NOTE: the bolt that goes over the lug nut leaves an indentation on your lug nuts, especially if your vehicle has the chrome finished ones like mine does. Have to buy a new set of front wheel lug nuts and use the old ones for when we drive up to the snow again and use these cool chains!
So far so good. I’m waiting for snow before I give 5 stars.
It’s recommended you fit the chains before you actually need them to get familiar with the innovative design. I had to remove all 5 yellow bolts since my wheels are larger. Keep the extra hardware but you won’t need them unless you change cars.
Once fitted you’re good to go.
Wear gloves to mount them in about 5 minutes.

This product is top notch. The chains are very easy to install and work very well on icy and snow covered roads at our home in the Eastern Sierras.
