pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair

I have a 2015 Ford Cmax which in the manual states that no chains or cables are to be used due to limited clearance. I bought these anyway and have used them twice with no issues. I hate putting on chains or cables but these are fairly easy. The advantage to these is that they can be put on without moving the car. First time was on a steep driveway, second on a mountain turnout with deep snow. They auto tensioned as described and a fairly smooth ride compared to typical cables or chains. Your video convinced me to try them even though Ford doesn't recommend anything...which means I'd have to use a different car to go skiing. 747058

Excellent and easy to install snow chains! Five minute install. Perfect for driving on ice and slick roads where my UHP-All Season tires don't work well. 735114

The package came on time as you said it would! The directions were pictures with little text in a vinyl/plastic insert that fits nicely in the case. Watching the video helped a lot, should have looked at first before I installed one. I did it right but the video made it faster the second time! The case is compact and has a rigid separator plate that keeps the two chains separate. The service on the telephone was superb rate it a 10. This was reassuring since their are so many choices. The chains fit like a glove and now I hope I never need them! 344682

I haven’t use them yet but from the videos they provided for this product, I know I will be satisfied. I had a problem and needed my order to be shipped quicker than I chose and the agent helped me & I received them. Thank you so much. I will recommend this company. 739056

Review from a similar Servo RS in Tire Chains

First, I thought reviews were about using the product (Pewag tire chains); not about giving it 4 stars before you even took it out of the box. Now for a review from some one who actually put them on a tire. They are certainly a big improvement in tire chains. But if you are putting them on a sedan with limited wheel-well access you better do it first in your garage. The inside hook is a disaster to connect; especially, with limited access and visibility. The inside hook definitely need to be replaced with something simpler to connect the two ends of the inside chain together. My reason for a 3 star rating. Next, to get the chains properly laid out on the tire takes some doing. That said, the cable on the auto tensioner need to be a 1/4” longer. That’s right, the difference between and easy connection of the auto tensioner and 5 minutes spent trying to get the chain ends closer. Finally, and really, really important, is how you remove the chains. Once you disconnect the chains, you do not want to just drop the chains off the back of the tire. There is a lot of chain and the auto tension cable to catch on some part of the front suspension preventing you from removing the chain. This ability to catch on something is aided by the plastic circular-shaped tubes that hold the back chain in a circle. I know; because it happened to me. O no! I thought for a while I was going to have to remove the tire to unhook the chain. Fortunately, I was able to reach over the tire and unhook the auto-tension cable that was hooked around a part of the car’s front suspension. 934817

Very easy to put on! Fairly easy to take off. No idea why I drove around with those crappy cables for the last few years - LOL. These chains require very little effort and store easily in the bag and work extremely well. Very happy with them. 948674

There are many types of tire chains available today. When you want reliable, relatively easy to install chains, this is a great choice. In addition, it appears that they will wear well. There is no available reliable data available on the strength of tire chains when high levels of horsepower are delivered through them. My personal experience is that my 300 hp pickup can easily break chains in this design category. I have never broken link chains with cam tighteners. Those conditions require the chain to be very snug. No looseness can be permitted. The link chains fail when hopping takes place. Little doubt that will be true for these as well. Avoiding hopping requires high skill and the willingness to say, I am turning around and going back. Given the chain design, it does run very smoothly. This will minimize the likelihood of hopping. 730742

I haven't used these yet, but I am very familiar with chains in general. I bought these to put on my wife's car, and wanted something easy for her to use. We put them on to teach her, and she was able to put them on pretty easily. I have used pewag truck tire chains, and if these are anything like them, they are great. 4 stars for ease of use. When I do use them, I'll update this review. 758977

I haven't been able to use the product yet (no snow for snow chains) but I liked the website very much and the product came quickly and accurately, with a follow up email. 910539

We used these chains going up to Truckee and they were the easiest chains we’ve ever installed. Highly recommended! 595384

Review from a similar Servo RS in Tire Chains

I have never been more pleased with a purchase decision than I am with these snow chains. They fit my car perfectly and were easier to install than I expected. If you have ever used on-ground cable chains, you know there are three connections that must be made, plus any adjustments to the tension device. With these chains, the connections are easy and the self-tightening tension device is impressive. At first I was not interested in this feature, but after using it I can appreciate how it will keep the chains tight and secure. I was also impressed by the design of the carrying case. I expected it would be difficult to replace the chains in the case once removed. Wrong. They easily fit back into the handy plastic case. Further, the chains came with plastic gloves to slip over your your hands (even with winter gloves) to keep your hands and lower arms clean. It's a bit odd to be so excited about a product that I hope NOT to use. But I drive to ski resorts all over the West and encounter chain restrictions often. Although I have all-wheel drive, I don't have snow tires and recent chain restrictions in Mammoth, CA require chains or 4-WD with snow tires on all wheels. Now, I'm actually looking forward to using the chains. I'm so pleased, I may purchase a second set for my wife's car. Finally, etrailer.com was great too work with. Their rep ( thanks Donna!) helped me find the right size chains for my wheels. Thanks so much! 335643

Very well designed product. Service person was very helpful in ing the correct size. I expect to buy the same brand of chains from you for my wifes car.

The chains arrived quickly and were of the correct size. No snow yet so the chains have not been tried, but they look to be of good quality. 901382

Review from a similar Servo RS in Tire Chains

Outstanding product! Very well-designed tire chain, quality components, easy to install, and terrific grip. I researched this purchase from some time and paid a little more for this quality product. We live in an area with very steep hills and quite a bit of snow and ice that goes unmanaged by the city. I figured these chains would be easy to install (I didn't look a the instructions before I took them out to put them on and had them on in 11 minutes), last a long time, not cause damage to my Lexus SUV, and provide excellent traction. They meet all my expectations. 469494

These are great quick and easy to install and don't require a roll over. Installed them at 0010 with a headlamp on a steep icy hill after sliding 75ft without them. 466930

Received the tire chains today. No adverse driving conditions to test them on. Will put them on tires this weekend - to check for fit and to practice installation instead of when they are needed. 594457

Their customer service is awesome!! They reached out to me via email as soon as they noticed delay and kept me updated on the delivery status, and also followed up after the delivery. We now have the chains we need for winter weather! We are very pleased to finally find the right snow chain for our tire size after looking around for 2 years!

The little clips can get tangly, and the main clasp can be a pain sometimes to get it to stay clasped untill you get tension on it. But overall I have used them quite a few times and they work great. I would def recommend them over the traditional types. 468340

The chains were a great fit. It took a little while to figure it out, because I forgot to disconnect both the top and bottom portion of the chains before putting it on. 583240
