SUMEXHUSAD80 KN80 Husky Advance Snow Chains 9 mm

I bought these snow chains as i was heading to a snowy Europe for a holiday break over Christmas. They were easy to put on with decent instructions, seems pretty reasonably made, but i have no experience so compare to. The first usage they broke, which is obviously hugely disappointing and inconvenient. The top and bottom of the problem was that in the factory the chains were not linked together properly, as one of the longitudinal chains was looped back on its self, putting it under strain and snapped in use. There is a repair kit included, so i set about checking all the other similar longitudinal chains, and none of the others featured this fault on this or the other tyre. The repair was easy if you have access to a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, otherwise it would not be possible.I have given 3 stars as i was able to put them on and use them, the price was fair, and there was a repair kit included in the pack, but deducted two for failing on first journey and having a manufacturing fault.Word to the wise, Germany has a relatively new law which means all winter road users need to have winter tyres on, and places anyone with summer tyres on at fault in an accident. It isn't enough to wear snow chains, as these should only be worn when a sign instructs snow chain use.

Can’t fault these - used them for the first time on a tricky descent in very heavy snow from La Plagne. Having watched a few videos and read the specific instructions, we had them on pretty quickly, adjusted slightly after the first few minutes but really they hadn’t moved much. The car would still be there if we hadn’t had chains. The quality seemed good, they were East enough to get off too. Only problem was first we were sent the wrong size, good job we checked and had time to get the right ones before setting off. We have snow socks also and saw other people managing with those in the same conditions but I would go for the chains in the steep conditions of the alps.

Great for the price. Actually used in anger in 40 cm of snow. Chains fitted easily (if you are used to chains or follow instructions) and no problems pulling away on icy base layer and a lot of snow on top. No slip on a steep gradient road and when I stopped to tighten they had little to no give so had fitted well first time. Recommend to practice in dry first, have a pair of warm work gloves and look after the mending kit (I lost min in a pile of snow and cant seem to get a replacement)

I live in a remote access area in Wales and have found these to be an invaluable addition to my car winter box, enabling me to be able to get home rather than leave my car half a mile away from it

Fantastic product!! Best £26 i think i ever spent! We would Not have got down from the alps without these this year!!They were relatively straight forward to put, although we did have to turn the steering to make easier as our car is quite low. Did the same to remove and had no dramas.Make sure you re-tighten the chains after the car has rolled forward a bit! You'll be suprised how much tighter you can get them and it then makes it a more comfortable ride.As said above... brilliant product and a must if your going to the Alps!!!

Managed to get these on in torrential snow to 245/40/18 low profile tyres (by turning the wheels out). Got me out of trouble, worked great. I didn’t drive far Or fast but there seemed to be no issues with clearance / snagging.As with all snow chains, when you get the hang of it, it’s easy.Worth bringing your own gloves, the ones provided are just a gesture.If you’re new to snow chains (on sports car tyres), remember to tighten again after driving a short way to get rid of any slack.

I am afraid this chain does not fit my tires as shown on the images. Please can you advise what chain size I should buy instead? I am not sure how accurate your descriptions are, so please can you help?I will be happy to change my review to positive once I managed to resolve this and got the right size chains.Thanks for your help.

Sold by Amazon Sarl - the chain size advertised by Amazon for my size of tyre AD70 fits but the tensioner is short by about 10/12 inches and will probably snap as it is only made of rubber. I emailed the company that makes them to ask them for a solution but they have not replied. Amazon may say return them but they are very heavy and my guesstimate for return postage probably 40/50 pounds so pointless.
