These chains are the perfect solution for SUVs with limited wheel-well clearance because they ride solely on your tire tread. Chains automatically tighten and align as you drive so you don't have to recheck tension.

Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
If you're looking for a way to get traction in the snow without scratching your rims, these K-Summit chains are your best option. The chain only sits on the tire tread and is fastened to one of the lug nuts on your wheel with an easy-to-use fixing key. There are no attachments behind the wheel like typical tire chains, which ensures that there is no interference with any suspension or braking components on the inside of the wheel well. You won't have to stop and readjust these chains either - they self-tension, self-center, and conform to the tire perfectly as you drive, providing a precise fit even on worn tires. These chains are ideal for use in light snow and ice.
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you wont be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. Even these low-profile chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Because these chains are customizable, the first fitting could take a little time but after that, it's simple. The included instructions will let you know if you need to adjust the chains based on your tire size.
1. To begin installation, you'll need access to your wheel's lug nuts. If you have a plate covering your lug nuts, pop it off using either the included Allen key or a flathead screwdriver.
2. Determine which lug nut adapter you'll need to fit over the nut on your wheel. Attach that adapter to the included fixing key. The most commonly used adapters are included.
3. Fit the chain over your wheel, getting it as far onto the tire as possible.
4. Using the fixing key, thread the included bolt into the adapter. The other end of the fixing key will attach to the K-Summit base, which includes the ratcheting mechanism that tensions the chains as you drive.
The adapter secures over your lug nut to hold the K-Summit base in place on your wheel. You might need to use the included spacer to get the chains to sit properly.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

Thule Very pleased with product.
Should work perfectly for my needs. Pricey but hopefully ease of use and functionality will support value.
Excellent product and easy to use and highly recommend a dry fit garage before using!
Easy to install and remove. Great chain s.
I would highly recommend this chain and company. The Konig chain is definitely a great quality chain and the company knows their product!
Clever design. But, for the XXL there is no way to get the chains on without moving the tires a half turn. That was not clear in the directions.
Fortunately have not had to use, fitted on vehicle when they arrived. Seems to be an excellent product
Shipment was delayed and therefore unusable for my long holiday roadtrip. I paid ~$[XX] expedited shipping for no reason.
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 customer service. Functional but some difficulty keeping them on.
Great product, just as described, fits perfect. Shipped immediately!! At my door next day. Great communication from ETrailer. Thanks!!
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.
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!
