Auto-Trac Light Truck SUV Tire Chain
Auto-Trac Light Truck SUV Tire Chain
I was wary of buying these chains without any reviews to go off of, but I read reviews and forum comments from
other sources on the web to find that Peerless makes a great product. I
made the leap, and I am extremely happy with what I got. First, I'll
give you the positives, then I'll list a couple of negatives or
potential negatives.
FITMENT & INSTALL - I have a Tacoma with 31/10.5/R15's, matched my tire size to the correct Peerless product using the convenient fitment guide provided (at least at this time) on the Amazon product page (there is also a fitment guide on the Peerless website, I double-checked because I'm paranoid like that). The installation process is lined out in 6 steps with the provided installation guide, and it takes me about a minute to 90 seconds per tire to get the chains on. The small amount of slack that will be in the chains to begin with will quickly be worked out after a couple hundred feet or less. I usually double-check after rolling for a while to be sure the ratcheting system is working properly, but I haven't run into any problems yet.
TRACTION - Traction is great. Full disclosure, I'm not extremely experienced with chains. I live in the desert, and there are only one or two occasions a year that I can bring these chains up to the snow country and have some fun. The vast majority of the time, I don't need them, but it's comforting to know that they're ready and willing if such a challenge arises that I need to use them. So far, they have not let me down, and I can't imagine a situation in which they would fail me and a different chain would succeed.
RIDE QUALITY - Ride quality is fair to good, considering the effect that snow chains typically have on ride quality. Read more ›
