Hi, where can I get the spit snow cable like that, I went to autozone, they dont know about, I want to get the split cable like that, so is easier to put it on the tire, thank you.

The ones we used in the video are from Les Schwab, but similar ones can be found in many tire stores.

This is the best video I've seen on chain installation. The directions are clear verbally and visually. Thanks! I'm going to take this knowledge to the Alps this weekend.

Maybe because the diamond pattern damages the road more?

As an European I can't understand what makes you guys from the USA prefer cable tire chains. to the "chain" tire chains. I spent quite a lot of time working with tire chains lately, and IMAO "diamond pattern" tire chains are more durable and easier to put up than the cable ones. Nothing against the SCC, I think they're a great US company, I just don't get the cable concept.
