I've had tire chains in my garage in Utah for years without action. Then we go to Seattle and they get used every time time it snows! I guess without the snow plows on the roads, we need to chain up!
These are the Super V tire cables from Amazon / Fred Meyer / Walmart. Be certain to get the right size tire chains for your size of tires! Check the side of your tire for the size (for example 245/15/R55)
Put the chains on the front tires for AWD/FWD or 4x4. Put them on the rear tires for Rear Wheel Drive.
This demo was using a Honda HRV (AWD).
3 hints from the video:
1) The 'V' goes on top of the tire with the open portion to the outside. (The V should point to the axel.)
2) Turn your wheel to the outside and slide the cables to the rear of the tire to more easily clip the backside of the chains.
3) When putting on the elastic band, start with a rectangle shape.
