WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

Tire Chains with automatic tensioning by pewag
Built for quick installs, these pewag chains tighten themselves as you roll, so you don't have to stop and recheck. automatic tensioning keeps them snug for traction on snow and ice, and options with 3.2 mm or 3.5 mm links let you match clearance needs. Check your wheel well space and your owner's manual, and do a dry run before the storm.
Yes, pewag offers automatic options that meet SAE Class "S" for limited clearance. Confirm your tire size is listed and compare your wheel-well space to the chain's minimums. Check your owner's manual for any axle or size restrictions; some vehicles specify chains only on one axle or prohibit certain wheel sizes.
Pick the thickness that fits your use and clearance. Options include links that measure 3.2 mm and 3.5 mm. Thinner links can be safer where space is tight, while thicker links feel more robust. Verify your wheel-well measurements against the chain's specs to avoid interference.
They can be quick once you practice. Do a dry run so the steps feel natural. If the chain feels tight at first, fit it loosely, roll forward until the self tensioner clicks a couple times, then finish the hooks. On some cars, lifting the wheel off the ground makes adjustments easier. Wear gloves. Avoid driving with any temporary bridging pieces unless they're professionally attached.
Measure before you commit. Some setups call for 37 mm between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well and 15 mm between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle. Others specify 1.46" above the tread and 0.59" at the sidewall. Compare your space to the chain's requirements and your owner's manual, since some vehicles limit where chains can be used.
