 Very slippery, almost useless. April 13, 2010

I've driven in the snowy mountains for many years and have used a lot of different traction devices. These were the second worse thing I've ever tried (only the SCC basic cables without the Z pattern were worse). I suppose they might be okay if you are driving on level ground, but if you need to climb up a hill, good luck. They were very easy to install and I was excited to try them out for the first time. I started driving and everything was fine until I started up the hills and they spun the entire time. At one point I had to stop on a hill to wait for another car. There was no snow on the road, only a little bit of slush amounting to wet pavement. When I tried to start going again I couldn't. The cables are so slick on the pavement that I just spun, no matter what I tried. I tried starting as slow as possible only to spin and not move, so I gave it more gas and just spun for about thrity seconds and moved about 10 feet. After a lot of effort I was finally able to move again. When I finally got to some snow on the hill I just moved about 7 mph while my speedometer read between 20 and 30 mph - THE WHOLE TIME!! THESE THINGS ARE DANGEROUS ON MOUNTAN ROADS. If you can, get real chains or something other than SCC cables. Like I said, I've tried a lot of products and never had this problem until I tried two SCC cable products on two different vehicels.

Easy to install and remove SCC Shur Grip Z. The only problem I found was with the case it comes with, once you get the chains out good luck putting the chains back in the case. Other than that, really a good set of chains.

I didn't get to use them much, but the little bit I did, they worked well. Installed in about 5 minutes. The only problem was the sizing. If they would have been just a little bit bigger, they would not have worked. I probably could have used the next size smaller and been better off. The case they come in is just a little tool small. It's like sitting on the suitcase to get it closed.
 Cable Chains Slip on Pavement March 5, 2010

I installed the cable chains (Security Chain Co., SZ339 Shur Grip) on front drive wheels of my car. I tried to drive up a moderate slope asphalt paved drive with some snow and ice. The drive tires spun on the asphalt and never gained traction even after repeated slow controlled starts. I removed the chains and drove up the asphalt drive with no problem except for some minor slipping on the ice and snow. On reason for the failure could be the cable chain design. The cross cables have wire rings which just spin on the bare asphalt and never gained traction. Very disappointing! On the positive side: Amazon's return policy and process was great.

Furtunately, I have not had to use them yet, but they are exactly what I ordered and expected and they were priced right with a rapid delivery. Thanks
