I can put them on by myself, but you need to practice a couple times first.
We have not had any snow yet--I will also practice once in snowy conditions.
I felt they were worth the extra money (about $100.) as I could put them on by myself in an emergency, but I really do not plan to be driving around in R3 conditions (4WD + chains).

Pretty easy to install. Well designed and well built. Not much more than the made in china tire chains but a lot better quality. Would buy again if I change vehicles.

I purchased for a winter trip from Oregon to California.  Ended up not needing chains through the mountain passes.  However, they were easy to install and appear to be durable.  I look forward to using them this winter.

I purchased these for tire sizes 235-65-R16, 225-75-R16, and 225-70-R16.  The same chain fits all these sizes although the chains are slighly loose when used on the 235-65-R16 tire.  The are very easy to install taking just 2 to 3 minutes per tire, and just slighly less easy to remove.  Used them on an ice covered road up hill and had no problem even driving at a very slow speed.  Would not have made it up the hill without the chains.  Have used them 5 times in just the first two weeks and am very satisfied with purchase.

Chains came in a plastic carrying case allowing for easy storage behind front seat(regular cab pick up). Easy to install no need to jack up vehicle or roll the tires forward or back. The chains tighten from the outside of the tire with several hooks to change the tension. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I have used the old fashion chains my whol life.  I was very reluctant to buy these chains due to the high price, however, I found that the money was well spent.  These chains are so easy to put on and take off and easy to adjust.  They perform as well as the old traditional chains do with an even soother ride.  I highly recommend these!

Having struggled over the years with standard metal-linked tire chains it was a pleasure installing these Thule chains.  The instructions are simple and easy to follow and after one installation you really don't need any written help anymore.  I would definitely recommend these.
