"Definitely a quality product. Installation is easy. Instructions could be better, especially the diagrams. Diagram for the final step in the installation should be made clearer......more detailed. But once you get the hang of it, installation is easy. Nice carrying case too. Haven't had a chance to run on snow yet, but from the looks of it there shouldn't be any problems!"

"Great product and great delivery. Good idea to practice putting the Thule chains on prior to first use (and in good weather): first time, 8 minutes; second time, 2 minutes, etc. It's pretty intuitive but if you are more visually inclined when it comes to directions, enter "Thule chains" into YouTube and there are several great short videos that show you how to mount and dismount them. The plastic carrying case the chains fit into is a nice bonus, and I managed to put the whole thing on top of the spare wheel below the trunk bed liner etc. so the entire thing is hidden away. It also comes with plastic gloves to keep from making a mess, but I added an old pair of kitchen gloves and a 1 foot by 2 ft piece of old carpet to make squatting and mounting easier both on the driveway and any other times I need to put them on, as well as for that odd moment when the car is momentarily stuck and a piece of carpet under the traction wheel would get the car out of a pinch and rolling again. Truth is, I've never used these chains 'in anger' since managed to get to and from Colorado skiing ($500 fine in Colorado BTW if you do not mount chains when roadside warning light is flashing indicating you must do so...) along I-70 without encountering any deep snow. With the addition of two space blankets from REI, we felt in great shape should a blizzard have been encountered."
