Thule K-Summit Low-Profile Passenger Car Snow Chain, Size K23 (Sold in pairs) Review

My car has 255/35r19 rear tires so this seemed like the right (albeit EXPENSIVE) choice.Upon using for the first time last weekend a pin holding a chain link to a plate popped out thus rendering the chain useless. As a result we were stuck in the mountain for THREE HOURS waiting for a flatbed tow.As soon as I put the chains on (which BTW have terrible terse instructions), I wasn't beaming with confidence as the chains didn't seat at the center of the wide tires.The following might be a better alternative: Security Chain Super Z6, SZ143.

Product Description:
The K-Summit is the ultimate snow chain on the market today.The K-Summit is uniquely designed to ride on only the external surfaces of the tire so you don't need to worry about clearance issues on the inside of the tire or interference with ABS braking, suspension or steering components.The K-Summit is also one of the easiest chains to install in three easy steps. You simply lay the chain on the tire, attach it to one of the bolts, activate the ratchet and you're done.The chain automatically self-tightens and self-centers itself as you drive away.You don't need to keep other components mounted to the wheel over the winter like other chains. The K-Summit was produced in Italy and the craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident. It is made of special alloy plates and strengthening ribs along with zinc-plated pins and hard metal core rivets all designed for maximum grip, endurance, reliability and resistance to abrasion and laceration.The geometric design of the arms and the high toughness of the material won't allow the chain to come off the tire, even in extreme conditions.In addition the innovative ratchet system has a force multiplier of nine times so it allows effortless fitting and a safety lever to avoid accidental openings.

AutoSock HP 735 Winter Traction Aid, For High Performance Tires Review

It works very well.It might be harder to install than it looks on the promotional video.However, it is still easier and faster than traditional tire chains.Removing is even simpler.Great design.

Here is the catch.It won't last especially if you drive on non-icy/snowy road.Like if the road has been sanded on the ice/snow.It's made with cloth and will tear.Be sure to follow the instructions.

It is a must have if you can't put normal tire chain.$100 to buy a insurance or safety from being stuck in the snow or slip on the icy road.It is total worth it.

I am considering other brand like RUDmatic Soft Spike (claim the cloth contain wire) and Snobootz (rubber thing) but they are not available anywhere for my tires.

Thule, Spikes Spiders and Centrax are more expensive but extremely easy to install.I personally vote for Thule but can't find any either for my tires.

AutoSock Standard X30 Winter Traction Aid, For Passenger Tires Review

Traction:
I decided to try out the Autosock after my pain in the ___ chains broke on a previous trip to Lake Tahoe. I drove my 2-wheel-drive Honda CR-V on a recent trip to Kirkwood, where Highway 88 was extremely icy. Once the signs read "Chains required," I threw on my Autosock, which took about 1 minute as advertised. With them on, the roads no longer felt slippery, and helped me up the rest of the way without any trouble. They are definitely much easier to put on than chains, and come without the hassle and noise.Even with the roads being covered with snow/ice, there were still plenty of rocks/sand. Since the Autosock is fabric based, it is bound to wear easily. After just my 1st trip, there are several small holes/tears. This is not a huge problem for me since my mother is a seamstress and can stitch these small tears back together and prevent them from becoming big holes. I was careful not to go above the recommended 30 mph, but hit 35 mph max at certain points. I definitely recommend you not to go over the 30 mph limit, but that goes the same for chains.

Laws:
You should also check your specific state's laws to see whether or not the Autosock will be allowed through chain control checkpoints. In California, the signs on the road read "Chains," but Caltrans website says "Traction Devices" are OK.
