König K-SUMMIT K11 - Snow Chains, 2 Pieces

These are fantastic. They are so easy to put onto the tyres, they don’t mark the alloys wheels and they give you incredible grip and control (both uphill and downhill) on snow and ice. They aren’t cheap but in this case you definitely do get what you pay for. Saying that, they’re probably cheaper than the cost of most people’s insurance excess and they provide you and your loved ones with safe winter mobility.I wouldn’t be without them, I’ve never been more relaxed driving on snow and ice 👍👍👍👍👍They also come in a very good quality carry case for easy storage.I have seen a video on YouTube (posted by a pair of simpletons! 🙄) demonstrating how difficult it is to fit these......... You HAVE to read the instructions first and size them to your tyre size. I had to remove three of the yellow sizing bolts to fit my tyres. The most you’ll have to remove is four, you may not need to remove any.Give yourself around fifteen minutes to read/understand the sizing instructions and a minute or so to remove each sizing bolt. Once you’ve done this it only takes a few minutes per wheel to put them on or take them off.I’ve only used them for one winter so I can’t discuss their longevity but they do feel incredibly well made and I’m sure they will provide me with safe winter driving for many years to come.Highly recommend.

Having bought much cheaper snow chains in the past and struggling to get them on in bad weather (without practicing at home first) and then them breaking on first outing I was determined to get something better. The key issue I faced was low wheel arches and big wheels. Traditional snow chains have to be fixed behind the wheel. With my car these means laying on the ground under the car! No fun in freezing snowy conditions, usually in slush.Although not cheap these are execellent chains which are very straightforward to put on. These chains are a fixed and secured from the outside. Reverse a little, check they are secure and off you go. Demonstrated most recently in the Alpes where everyone was stopping to put chains on. Motorways were closed and everyone was taking to the minor roads. Many people were visibly struggling on the side of the road to put on traditional snow chains ... we saled past after a short stop to put ours on. I was also pleasantly surprised that after driving on a clear road before we could stop to take the chains off, there was no visible wear or damage to them. So highly recommended.

Easy to fit. But If you think to put it in the trunk as it was bought, to fit it immediately to the tires if necessary, you will be wrong. Make all preparations in advance. If it's necessary remove in advance the regulation elements according to the size of your tire, check in advance which pre-mounted lug nut adapter, which pre-mounted spacer are proper to use and fix them on the mechanism of the chain. Then you can store it in the trunk ready to use. You can fit them in a few minutes. Although it looks like metal in the picture, the four plates at the end of the arms are plastic. I don't test its durability but I'm a little skeptical about that plastic structure.

I have yet to use these in the snow, but I have adjusted them and had a very short ride down my road. I hope the following comments will be useful.A certain amount of strength is required to attach an adaptor to one of the wheel nuts, using the supplied spanner, which clicks when you have supplied enough torque. This is a very good idea as it assures, it want fall of. However, if you are not happy changing a wheel, I suggest you perhaps don’t buy these.The instructions supplied are laminated, and contain all the information (mostly in picture form) you need to fit the chains when it is snowing. They are very clear. However, one very important piece of information is omitted and can only be found by downloading the full instructions from the makers website. As I said I tried the chains, after I had I had adjusted the length (this is not a difficult job, and all the tools you need are included). I was initially convinced they were too small as I could not get them to mount on my wheels. The extra instructions told me the wheels need to be wet, specially if like me you had new tyres. This lubricates everything. So, I threw a bucket of water over the tyres, then the chains fitted very easily.I note my chains came with a one size fit all U-adaptor. I believe they used to come with different adaptors for different size wheel nuts.I can confirm they do not damage my diamond cut wheels.A plastic sheet complete with a picture on it of someone kneeling fitting the chains is supplied. I suspect most people will use the very substantial bag to kneel on if kneeling is needed. A completely useless plastic pair of gloves are included, of the type you are given in restaurants to eat ribs etc. I added to the bag an old pair of gardening gloves.So, I am all set for the snow. I think they will do me well, which is fortunate as not many chains will fit my car.

I used these every day in the alps in February. I had to take them on and off twice a day. No problem at all. Takes about 45 seconds each side I kid you not. And they got us up to the top of the mountain and back down again in deep snow and ice. Even quicker to take off. I had it down to formula one pit times. I also had these as they would not damage my kuga 19 inch alloy wheels. No other chains could do that. A very clever system. Worth every penny. Mate had tyre socks. They do work but what a faf and they freeze in the car every night then thaw out and get everything wet.

Easy to fit, very high quality, adaptable for even the biggest and deepest alloy wheels. Happy with these after quite a long search

Fantastic snow chain. We tried and tested it on a ski trip in the alps where they claimed to have just had the worst snow in 30 years and they worked brilliantly on the wide tyres on our van.

After getting a new car I originally got a set of SCC cable tire chains because they seemed more popular, less expensive, had better availability, and claimed to fit my 285/40R19 tires. When it came time to try them out, I discovered they didn’t fit — neither I nor the salesmen at the auto parts and tire stores could get them on. So I put in an order for these Konig chains. They had to be delivered from the UK and are relatively expensive (both base cost plus shipping), but after making the necessary adjustments I was able to get them to fit my tires without much difficulty. They’re much easier to install than the other chains too, as it doesn’t require any reaching behind the wheel. One thing I do need to note is that the manual recommends removing just 1 adjustment pin for this tire size, but I couldn’t get it on until I had removed 4 pins. I haven’t needed to use these on snowy roads yet so I can’t comment on their durability or how well the car drives with them.

Having purchased several sets over the years, these are the ONLY ones I trust not to cause damage to various 2WD, AWD, 4WD vehicles requiring ZERO CLEARANCE.Once adjusted and mounted PROPERLY, they work like a charm. On and off in minutes. Most negative reviews are likely the result of improper sizing, adjusting, mounting, and use.Here are a few tips:•ONLY FOLLOW KONIG/THULE MANUAL•THIRD-PARTY YOUTUBE CLIPS MISLEADING•BE SURE TO REMOVE ANY LUG NUT COVERS•BE SURE TO SIZE AND FIT PROPERLY•BE SURE TO REMOVE ICE FROM LUG NUT•CHECK FIT AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE•NEVER USE ON DRY ROAD OR SURFACE•NEVER, EVER EXCEED 25-30 MPH•NOT INTENDED FOR OFF-ROAD USE•NOT DESIGNED AS FULL TIME/HEAVY DUTY•ALWAYS RINSE AND LET DRY AFTER USE•INSPECT FREQUENTLY FOR WEAR•MOUNT ON FRONT WHEELS ONLY•ATTACH, REMOVE, ATTACH AS NEEDED•DO NOT ADOPT TRACTOR PULL MINDSET•IN EXTREME CASES EVEN ONE WILL HELP•PLASTIC SHELL KNEE PADS ARE HELPFUL•LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THE VERIFIED AND REAL REASON THAT MANY ZERO CLEARANCE VEHICLE MANUALS DO NOT RECOMMEND CHAINS SUCH AS THESE IN THE U.S. (AS OPPOSED TO THE SAME VEHICLE MARKETED ELSEWHERE), HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLEVER DESIGN OF THESE SUPERB TRACTION-ENHANCING AND NON-WRAP-AROUND CHAINS. THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT MOST U.S. DRIVERS DO NOT FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WILL ATTEMPT TO PLAY KING OF THE ROAD - WITH ROAD RAGE - IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AS IF THEY WERE RAMBO RUNNING THE INDY 500 IN A MILITARY HUMVEE AT BREAK-NECK SPEEDS. IF YOU CAN RELATE TO THAT, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY NO VEHICLE OR CHAIN MANUFACTURER WANTS TO DEAL WITH YOU. IF NOT, GO FOR IT. AND KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE ULTIMATE IN CONVENIENCE IF USED PROPERLY.
