SCCSecurity Chain Company SC1032 Radial Chain Cable Traction Tire Chain - Set of 2

Fit my 2018 Honda Civic perfectly! They are super easy to to install and remove. The build quality seemed pretty solid as well. After the first use they were still in perfect shape.Overall, they were decent snow chains especially for the affordable price.

I bought these right before the January 2016 blizzard that hit the east coast. Okay, where I live it wasn't a blizzard per se, but it did leave 14 inches of snow on the ground. Here in Central Virginia we aren't used to that much snow, and my little Ford Focus wasn't exactly built for it, either.I made the mistake of not putting these on the car before the snow started. There were only a couple of inches on the ground when I did, but the instructions (and just about every other review, probably) say to test fit them first so you'll know what you're doing when you really need them. Anyone who knows me knows I did not do that, so they took me a little longer to get around the tires than they should have. It isn't a difficult process, but doing it the first time with snow already under those tires is a pain and makes it take longer than it should. So please, for your own sake, if you know snow is coming the next day, put them on before it starts falling. If the forecast was wrong you can always take them off again.Once these things were on, they worked like a champ. When it snows, I have to work. The snow started falling that Friday and I drove to work right at the beginning of it. I did not put the chains on the tires until after I arrived. Like I said above, there were already a couple of inches on the ground by then, which made the process more difficult. I probably spend about half an hour doing it. By the time I left work that night, there were probably 6 or 7 inches on the ground. While that may not be a lot for many of you reading this, it's a lot for us here in Richmond, VA. Since the snow was coming down pretty steadily, the snow plows hadn't been able to accomplish much at that point, and a lot of the roads I had to take had not been touched. But, with these chains on the tires the Focus had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The traction light did not come on one time--and it's pretty sensitive, usually lighting up whenever the car hits a decent-sized puddle. There was no speeding down the road (instructions say keep it to round 30 or 35, I believe) but no slipping or sliding. Braking wasn't a problem, nor was getting going from a stop. I only had a couple of small hills to traverse, but there were no problems there, either.Fast-forward to Sunday morning, and it was a different of a story. The car had been parked since Friday night when I got home (not sure how I managed to NOT have to work Saturday, but I wasn't complaining). By then, there were 14 inches of snow on the road (my road had not yet seen a plow of any kind) and it had drifted up over the headlights on the Focus. In that situation, the chains really couldn't do much at all. Even after I dug out the car, this snow didn't pack very well, so it was impossible to get "on top of it". The chains really couldn't do much when the snow was high enough for the front bumper to be acting like a plow. Fortunately a real plow came along just in time for me to leave for work. It only had time to make one pass, so there were still about 6 inches on the ground when I was able to leave, but that was no more of a problem than it had been Friday night.So overall I was pleased with how the chains worked. For a small car like the Focus, they make 6 or 7 inches of snow no problem to navigate. Having true winter tires might work just as well but chains are a lot cheaper--especially when you live in a place where you'll only have to use them once or twice a year.

I bought these chains in preparation for my trip to Lake Tahoe. It snowed all week prior and even during our stay there, and the chains worked just fine on my Nissan Altima.My only complaint is that the chains were hard to get tight. I'll admit this is my first time putting chains on my car. I did a trial run before my trip and put them on in a parking lot in front of my apartment. The concept seemed simple enough and indeed it was easy to put them off and take them off according to the video and paper instructions. Once I was on the mountain and pulled over in the chain control area, I did exactly the same thing as I had practiced. Got them on in a few minutes and then got back in my car. When I stepped on the gas, my tires seemed to spin for a bit until my car actually got moving. I thought this might have been normal since it was my first time. But it was stop and go traffic all the way until the actual officer checked each car, and each time I stopped and started again my tires would slip. It just didn't feel right. I asked the officer if my chains were on properly. He gave them a tug and said they were still too lose and I had to pull over to tighten them. THIS was the hard part. In my practice I had managed to get 2 bushings through the hole, and it took me a good 15 minutes on the side of the road to wrestle around and get that third bushing through to tighten everything up. Once I managed to figure out the trick, it wasn't that difficult though.My recommendation is that these are good for basic chains, but can be tricky to put on or take off for non-experienced people. For putting them on make sure you get the inside of the tire tight (really tight) first, before you do the outside of the tire. For taking them off, make sure your tire is not resting on top of any of the cables, or else you won't be able to pull to get enough slack to loosen the bushings out of the slot.
