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

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Fyi, I thought that chain tensioners would have been nice to include for extra tension, but the manufacturer website states Chain tensioners SHOULD NOT be used on these.
Ran into a road ice situation in Texas and had to keep the chains on for nearly 100 miles. Traction on ice is great. Mostly just fine except near the end of the time I had them on, one of the cross cables broke. I was able to tie the flapping cable down to continue on, but I figured they would be a little more durable than that.

Much easier and lighter than chains.
Delivery was very quick.
