Husky Winter Classic Alloy Steel Snow Chains for 17" Car Wheel Tyres (225/55 R17)

When I clicked on the link from a google search for the chains under the chain size I required, it was showing 205/55/17, when I clicked on the order process it defaulted to 205/50/17 which I hadn't noticed because I thought I had chosen the size from the link, this means I have had to return the chains to hopefully get an exchange and not a refund as there was no option to select a replacement rather than a refund, maybe the returns process needs to be amended to give other options

I've not used these yet, but they look every bit as good as the set that got us safely down off a snowy mountain in a hire car in Italy last winter. Fitting is tricky the first time, but pretty quick once you know how to do it (2 minutes per wheel). You could try learning on a dry sunny day, but the traditional way is at the side of the road on a snowy day, with concerned family in the car, and this is the method that I used. Huge relief to be able to stay mobile in really quite bad weather. I've dropped one star because the fitting that the end of the inner rim cable locates into is a pressed steel part, not a cast part like I've seen on more expensive chains. Every other part of this looks identical to the parts you'd find on snow chains triple the price.

I'm really pleased with these chains. They have a stiff cable ring that makes them much easier to put on. You just push this through behind the wheel, clip together at the top, and then its easy to arrange the chains over the wheel and attach the clips at the front. Great produce at a fantastic price!

They do the job when on but it does take some time and they tend to tangle easily, that said they were fab in the snow in Scotland on our recent holiday.

great snow chains and easy to put on

I have now used these chains over two winters and I rate them highly. I recommend that you use a bungee on each set after you have fitted them as this helps you to keep the right tension on without having to stop and adjust the lower chain fitting. Once you get used to the routine of fitting and removing you will get along well with them. I don’t put them back in the case that comes with them as this increases the risk of entanglement. I hang them up when not in use and I lay them out in the boot of the car when the snow starts. It makes life a lot easier. My original review is below.############Well I can only rate the supplier as I have only fitted the snow chains on a nice dry day in my garden! The product arrived promptly and well packaged. The product seems to be well made and the instructions are in line with the typical instructions you find on YouTube videos. Actually I think better instructions could be given - I am basing this on my trial fittings. I can' t cover it here but there are a couple of techniques that I would have hoped the manufacturers would have been aware of. To be fair these are not mentioned on the YouTube videos I have watched either. Anyway, so far so good. Perhaps I'll post again when I've used them in the snow!
