These chains are handmade in Italy of hardened manganese nickel alloy steel for ultimate durability. The dual-sided, 16-mm-diameter, D-shape links provide superior traction for excellent grip on snow and ice. The included tensioning device eases installation. Just pull the rubber strap taut to tighten the chain for a perfect fit.
Included with each pair of chains are mounting instructions, a kneeling mat and a pair of gloves, all packaged in a sturdy, reusable container.

I ordered these chains to assist in winter conditions. I will use these for our business and really appreciate the fast shipment!
It arrived fast.
Someone from etrailer emailed my after I ordered it from their own email. He told me to talk to him with any questions or issues.
Other online retailers offer the same stuff as etrailer; it just is more expensive, and without etrailer's manuals and guidance. If you want an expert opinion, ask an expert.
I cannot attest to the product quality as I have yet to use them. However, the customer service was excellent and I received the order in less than a week. One thing that happened though was that I ordered Thule chains and received Konig. Some online research informed me that Konig now owns Thule. However, the product description still shows rhem as Thule.
Purchased this model as it has video instruction for all of their model. This konig is merged to Thule recently. But, they still have same model name and product details online.
Their shipping was pretty fast and accurate on ETA.
Easy to install although we haven't used them yet this winter.
After our first use in a snowstorm, they seemed to perform well once we could get them on. One side appears to have an enlarged thread that is hard to fit in place and remove though. The directions were too cartoonish, but these weren’t that difficult to install once we could understand the vague directions.
Quite easy to install. Will see how it holds up...
Easy to install. Fit well. Arrived in a timely manner. Great experience.
Once again -- Excellent service and timely shipment! Thanks
Arrived quickly and in nice plastic container. Very pleased with product and service.
Review from a similar XB16 in Tire Chains
Product arrived quickly, and in great shape. Product did not include gloves, nor mat, but that's not a big deal. The plastic instructions are truly plastic, which is pretty nifty when considering installation in snow.
Fit on my 2018 Grand Touring CX-5 seems fine - I have yet to use the chains in snow, but I fit them on my car in the garage per the video recommendations. Video installations may tell you that the yellow tab needs to face towards the front of the vehicle - I found this to be false/true depending on if you were on the passenger or driver side of the vehicle. I believe that correct installation has the chain approach the tire from left to right, independent of vehicle direction. That is, if on the driver side (USA vehicle), the chain will be wrapped around the tire with the yellow tab coming from the front of the vehicle. If installing on the passenger side, the chain wraps coming from the rear of the vehicle. This was to ensure that the non-hooked sides (smooth side) of the chains were facing the rims on both driver and passenger installations per the installation videos.
One of the red plastic tabs required re-seating on the chain as it was inverted and would sit upside down when the chains were installed.

Fantastic customer service, constant follow up from etrailer.com. I need the product urgently and it arrived in a couple of days all the way to Canada! The product is very high quality and was easy to install. I have a cottage with a steep hill and when it’s full of ice it’s very tough to get up even with my 4x4 now I don’t have to put sand and salt down for 500 plus feet! Konig chains are a life saver.
Thank you!

Purchased your Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains based on the terrific video by Alan. He gave great advice on installing the chains. We reviewed it again yesterday before we tested our installation skills on our 2021 Tahoe. Encountered ZERO issues. Appreciate also the weather protected instructions. Great product!
Review from a similar XB16 in Tire Chains
After having these for a full winter season, I can say that they were well worth the purchase. 4.5 stars. Traction was supreme, and ease of install and removal is everything they say - awesome! Removed a star only because the plastic clips that route the little tensioning chain were quickly broken, and the rubber end is marginal. However when installed on my 2wd truck, I pulled a small box trailer up and down a very icy and steep slope (dirt road at scout camp) - without a hint of wheelspin. Same area immediately before chain install had cars and 4wd trucks stuck on a gentle grade. These are not smooth at all on pavement, but a lifesaver when needed.

Shipping was fast and accurate. When I called customer service at 6 p.m., an employee answered quickly and answered my questions efficiently.
The installation videos helped greatly, and these chains seem to be holding up well. After driving through snow and slush, I tried removing the chains. The tension clip was difficult to open because of the frozen slush. I proceeded to chip out the ice laying in the dark to remove the chains. Overall, great chains and I am glad they went on easily. I make sure to bring them inside after use in order to melt the ice.
Review from a similar XB16 in Tire Chains
Bought these for some trips to the NC mountains and finally got to use them in January. I was very impressed with how well these worked. Pulling out of the driveway was nearly impossible until I put them on and had instant traction. Once I figured them out, they installed in just a few minutes. Taking them off after driving was a messy experience due to the wet, dirty snow but very easy.
Highly recommend these.

I got 2 sets of these snow chains and we survived the great California Winter Storm without too much trouble. We were able to go up to 35mph with these chains in the midst of a blizzard. Installation & Removal were fairly easy. Great Product.

Theses chains provide great traction on snow and ice. We use them periodically on a Toyota RAV4 for our 20% grade gravel driveway in the Colorado mountains.
Review from a similar XB16 in Tire Chains
I cannot give a fair evaluation of the product's performance or durability, but I did to a trial fit and they fit as described. The videos provided by etrailer were an excellent guide. I hope to never have to use these things, but glad I have them just in case.
