Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 100

Chains arrived well packaged and everything intact. Simple to put on and take off, works well on my 225/45/18 wheels (not an easy size to find). Review on the shipping as well, worried about it arriving on time but the estimate was spot on and arrived when it said it would so kudos for that. 924687

The customer service I've received from etrailer has been exceptional. Greg kept me updated with my order at every step - even got my chains shipped out on Sunday of President's Day weekend! I will definitely be coming back to etrailer for future orders. The chains come in a reusable box that is pleasantly compact. You can't go wrong with TUV approval, plus the diamond pattern seems to be what most of the truckers I've seen use. The chains are easy to put on and fit my skinny sidewall tires nicely. 607051

I haven't had the chance to use the product yet. We are just starting to get what promises to be a HISTORIC snow storm. It's Friday and the chains were supposed to arrive on Monday ... after 2 feet plus of snow is forecast to fall here on the mountain. I was able to install the chains before the snow started and they were the easiest chains I have ever installed. World class customer service from this company. I will most definitely recommend them in the future. Thanks! 236013

The customer service is excellent! And the product arrived before schedule!! The chains and organizer are very good quality. I purchased the chains for a trip I was taking, so the arrival BEFORE the projected date was really great and gave my husband and myself a chance to do a trial run of putting them on the car. They were easy to install and something I could handle on my own. I didn't run into any snow, so cannot give a review on actual use, and that is the only reason I didn't give "excellent" in my rating. Definitely would recommend this site to others. 172475

I bought these same brand chains two years ago for my Corolla. These chains have worked extremely good for me on the steep icy highway during a really heavy snow storm. Other cars with the typical cable chains were sliding all over the place, but our car made it through without sliding. I was more worried about the other cars sliding into me, than about my car making it through. The highway was eventually closed down about 5-10 minutes after us getting through. For light snow or almost bare pavement with patches of snow these chains are sort of over kill. I have used them maybe 10 to 15 times but on my last trip one of the chains broke. I believe the ball broke off from the inside hook of the chain. I would prefer if the inner attachment was more like a hook (like they typically use on ladder chains) which I think would be more robust. I have had a number of balls breaking off on my ladder type chains, so to me it seems like that is the weak link in this chain design. Installation is pretty easy but that rubber hook at the end is also hard to install in the cold. Also getting the chains off after that terrible snow storm was difficult. The inner ball/hook was completely frozen together. So be sure to have something in the car to chip the ice away if needed. On warmer, less severe days it isn't a problem. Overall they are a great chain to carry with me for those ski trips. 969972

I have to say I'm extremely satisfied with these tire chains!! They're so aggressive and work well with my corolla. My at is front wheel drive and the weight of the motors sits perfectly in line with the tire/chain combination. They bite and dig right in the snow and ice. My drive way is very long as you can see and quite dangerous in snowy conditions. I've had numerous times where I've had to slip the chains on and it was a breeze. They're so easy to put on and off. I feel extremely confident throughout the winter season with the Thule tire chains in the back of my trunk. Thank you so much! You guys have great products going! 110489

I had never heard of ETrailer before I began searching for the Konig snow chains that I wanted. Lower price on a site worries me and usually means you won’t get your order in time or possibly ever. The morning after I order I got an email updating me that the MFG had delayed their order. No big deal because I’m not in a hurry but I replied to the email for the heck of it. I was pleasantly surprised that a person replied to my reply who apologized again that there would be a delay. I continued to get updates from real people daily and throughout the packing and shipping of my chains. I’m by nature suspicious and don't trust a lot of online stores. For instance, the same night that I ordered from ETrailer I ordered Xmas gift from Wilson sports. I could never checked the status of my shipment on their site and when I asked for the status of my shipment I got an automated reply. I received my snow chains and am still waiting for my football and receiver gloves. I have no idea when they’ll show up. ETrailer is run the way a company should be run. I will always search ETrailer to see if they have anything that I need and have already told all of my friends about this company. Thank you ETrailer employees George J., Justin W. and all of employees that handled my order and got my order to me within 10 calendar days. Awesome service! 921092

The snow chains arrived quickly. They appear to the correct size for my tires for my vehicle, but I had difficulty in getting them to fit properly. However, there are two factors to consider: 1) I recently purchased new tires, which are at the maximum tire pressure and 2) I have never used snow chains before, so my experience in installing them was lacking. So, now I will await the net snowfall to try them out on the road for real. 934280

I appreciate that there are [install] videos that show how to put these on. All you are practically doing is hugging your tires on your vehicle. The chains worked great and easy to put back into the box for safe keeping next use. 935241

I live on a mountain top in Western North Carolina where one of our recent snow falls left 10 inches of snow the first night. I refer to my driveway as The Roller Coaster because it is so steep and curvy and at 6:30 the morning I first used the chains, it was so covered that I had to guess where it was. I have an '03 Subaru Forester and with my Thule chains, I was able to go where the snow plows hadn't gone with no traction problems whatsoever. It was a week before I was able to safely take them off the car, but they're in the back for the next time I need them. etrailer is fantastic! I ordered the chains on Saturday, Dec 25, got confirmation of my order that same day and had the chains the following Wednesday. I recommend both etrailer and these chains without any reservations on either! 6119

These chains really worked on slicked down snow and ice! Would definitely recommend if you're not going to get winter tires. 923142

I used these chains for the first time to get me home after work when winter storm Jonas hit the east coast. The snow was so deep that I only had trouble when the snow started to pick my car off the ground. I made it all the way home with these chains but did notice a few links broke during the 30 minute drive home. I wasn't going any faster than 20-25 mph on the way home. I couldn't go any faster given how bad the roads were. These chains were easy to install and I did drive a few miles before stopping and retightening them as per the instructions. The chains can be used again even with the broken link but I will have to repair them in the spring or buy new ones next year. 236646

Great chains. I use a set of four on a subaru outback. Living at elevation, snow and ice. Not uncommon wintertime scene. Pretty easy on (have a pair of leather gloves and headlamp), five minutes ideally to get all four on in the dark. Practice with them before the storm. Very easy off. Will vibrate your teeth out if travelling on plowed roads, but that's not what they're intended for anyway. Take them off and throw them in the trunk. 334656

Ordered these chains from etrailer.com for my 2007 Prius. First order from this company. Got a heads up call from Preston at etrailer saying there might be delay in shipping ( there wasn’t). Then followed up with call saying they had shipped. Company is obviously ‘customer satisfaction’ focused. Based on my experience with this one order from etrailer I would highly recommend it. Haven’t had to use the chains yet but I know they are quality (Thule) and will work. 596148

Haven’t had to use them yet but carry them all the time. Good for piece of mind. Flying to Salt Lake City this weekend to pick up new Prius. Taking them with me. Thanks.

I don't usually submit online reviews but in this case wow what a great company! I ordered some chains for my Lexus ct200h on a Saturday and got a real live phone call on Sunday from Erika stating the product I ordered was out of stock. She recommended these chains instead and not only were they less expensive but they arrived on Thursday just in time for a California ice storm on Friday. I had to put the chains on for the first time on my way home to my house at 5000 foot elevation. I watched the video before leaving work and as promised they went on in a breeze even with the low wheel well clearance. Great company, great product- I couldn't be happier! 233652

Due to our new residence location (Big Bear Lake CA) I've been researching tire chain specs and options. My past experience was only seasonal, but now that we live here permanently I wanted the most effective design and durable materials....not only for my Jeep, but my wife's Honda. Just received both via UPS last week. Nice product and packaging. Now just waiting for the snow! 584092

I bought these chains for emergency purposes to prepare for a trip from North Dakota to Washington in late November. I haven't had to use them yet so can only comment on the product purchase, service, and price. The service was good, they were delivered quickly and on the date they estimated. I did a lot of research before purchasing these for my low wheel well clearance 2010 Prius. They were a nice compromise between the inexpensive and expensive ones. In addition to the S rating for low wheel well clearance, the link shape are supposed to have a smoother ride, there is some assistance with installation, and reviews were selling points. Note that the kneeling pad and gloves are both thinner plastic. Not exactly what I expected but better than nothing. They came in a nice easy carrying case. 727291

Purchased the Thule chains after returning chains bought from Wal-Mart one year ago. The Wal-Mart chains were difficult to install and one broke immediately. When I spoke to Ricky one year ago to purchase the chains, he was helpful as we discussed the different chain options. The Thule chains fit the car well and are easy to install. Recently used them over the Thanksgiving 2016 weekend in Yosemite National Park. We drove 1- 1.5 hours at 25 - 30 mph with the chains from Yosemite Valley to the outside of the park. The roads had been plowed one time and the drive out of Yosemite was up and down as well as winding roads. We did not slip one time. Chains were required and a life saver. Also used the chains in Sequoia National park. The chains did their job as we climbed the mountains into the park. Highly recommend the Thule chains. 321162

The chains continue to work great and are easy to use. No problems with them so far.

Product exactly as described. Easy to install. Bruno and I looked at the chain and said, "now what." After looking at the instructional video we put them on in no time. Hope I don't need them on my trip but ready if needed. 315582

Of course since I bought these tire chains, we have not received enough snow in my area of the country (mid-Atlantic) to actually test them under road conditions. However ... I do recommend that you practice installing these chains BEFORE you need to use them. It is not intuitively obvious how they get installed on your tires, and the pictograph directions are not the best. The mounting system is more complex (but probably more robust and secure) than the simpler systems of 20+ years ago. You should also be aware that after first mounting the chains, the car must be driven for a short distance to take the slack out of the chains and allow them to be fully tightened. A minor annoyance, but manufacturer-recommended, so do not avoid this step. I trial-mounted my Konigs on the front drive wheels of my Toyota Corolla. They are definitely low-profile and would allow for steering angles. Definitely a lot of Swedish steel in this product; I am sure it will get you through a Scandinavian winter. My chains always ride in my Toyota during the winter months. 478616
