This is the incorrect way to install this type of cable chain. The chain should be installed so the rear connection is made on the top of the tire NOT the bottom as shown in this video. See our YouTube channel for the correct way to install this chain. Look for our SCC super Z-6 video.

@Anon514 actually in many states that do not allow "chains" they do allow "snow traction cables" which are a very light weight set of steel cables with small metal roller cleats on them.....and they work quite well. I have never gotten stuck in deep snow here in massachusetts. Also, they are a heck of alot easier to put on than chains. Cost about 50 bucks

Hi :D like your old voice dude

[Anon514]

i understood the majority of the braking power is in the front, it makes no sense to put the chains on the back tires.

not really allowed to use them here...like if you're stuck or you feel you might get stuck...you are, but you cant just drive around with them on just because theres snow on the ground

but then again, a tow strap is also something you should have....because lots of people would be willing to pull you out, but they may not have a tow strap.
