From the manufacturer


Z-Chain’s plastic package includes clear, illustrated step-by-step installation and removal instructions, waterproof gloves, as well as the durable, nylon storage bag itself to safely and conveniently hold all of it. Replacement cross members are available through some retailers.

Note: Chain tensioners should not be used.

Extreme winter performance for professionals

The best just keeps getting better, as can be seen with the Z-Chain series. Automotive evolution never stops and winter traction products must keep up. Some of its product highlights include:

  • Although Z-Chain has always met S.A.E. Class “S” requirements for passenger vehicles with limited clearance around the drive tires, now the inner cross member connectors and side cable fastening system have been redesigned to operate in even smaller spaces
  • Their rigid inside 'hoop' has been replaced with a semi-rigid steel cable, making it possible to roll them up and store them in a much smaller space
  • An improved fastening system requires the outside side member to be adjusted in two places, rather than the three required on the original passenger car version of Z-Chain (and six on the original pick-up and SUV version). Construction and installation procedures are now the same for passenger cars, pick-ups, and SUVs
  • The product line has been re-engineered to better fit the popular tires found on today’s cars and light trucks (pick-ups and SUVs). This has resulted in the addition of two new stock numbers in the light truck range, as well as many application changes in larger passenger car tires

    SAVED OUR VACATION TO GRAND LAKE, CO.
    These are awesome and fit our TOYOTA LAND CRUISER (275-70R-16). We knew the grade was steep to our VRBO home and that 4-wd or chains were required. The first day arrival there was no snow on the pavement headed up the Mtn. (not good) half way up we hit the daily snow melt that had refrozen in ice patches. we began to slide back down. We inched back down the Mtn. and installed these on the rear. went back up and they spun and chopped away at the ice until we crossed the ice patches. It snowed every day after that and we installed each time we arrived back to the Mtn. house from skiing. I could install in 5 minutes. Leaving Colorado we hit a terrible snow storm going up Berthough pass. We began to slide into oncoming traffic once. We pulled over and installed and rode the next 4 miles up the pass through the storm and believe me the stress after installing these was minimized. 4 mi. at 20-30 MPH on snow and they held up fine. Well worth a hundred bucks!!!!
