They look super practical in the snow. I love how this video demonstrates their superior snow grip and ease of install in the snow. Good job on those snow chains. You really call do anything if you use your imagination.
nothing beats a good set of snow tires! I live in an area where snow tires are mandatory from December 15th to March 15th. No one uses chains here except for the farmers on their tractors In winter. Also, it is illegal here to drive with chains on the roads, we are only allowed studs in our winter tires.
but you don't know that there is other countries in the world not just America and there are tires with spikes and chains. sometimes just military equipment works. oh your god
Good old set of snow tires doesn't work for everyone. I don't know where some of these people live. Some places have heavy snow on the roads ALL THE TIME.
Looks like one of the best inventions I have seen in a long time if it works it will probably save a lot of lives and make winter driving much safer. ITS A YA-YA!
no, sorry.. people always make this same mistake, but its actually from the late 60's, "Slow Reamers (Nine is Fine, Mike)".. listen closer :P im pretty sure this track is called "Makin' Butterfingers"........ :D
+roger S.jr. (rms555) No, inner chain circle is smaller than tire circle. Connections are inside lower tire profile. Losing pressure doesn't make tire radius smaller. ;)
+Don KiksBiscuits I don't think or you'd have to have a flat to have a problem. Since you have to pull over and stop with a flat, you have to take it off and change it anyway. That would be a pain though! 1). Loosen lug nuts. 2). Jack up car. 3). Remove chains. 4). Remove tire. 5). Put on spare. 6). Put chains on spare. 7). Lower car and tighten lug nuts. If you carry that wimpy "compact spare" you'll have to swap out a good back tire and put the compact tire onto the back (assuming front wheel drive car).
+grrunf Try it both ways and get back to me. In the snow, it's probably going to be easier to mount the spare first and then put the chains onto it. But I'm open-minded, prove me wrong. I'll thank you for it if you do. Now modern spares are compact tires and not the same size so the chains would not fit that tire at all. I put my chains on the front only so if I have a front flat I will put a good rear tire onto the front, the compact spare onto the back, the chains onto the front tire, flat tire in the trunk (boot), and be off again. This will be time-consuming and cold exercise! LOL
I do too, and for most people in small to midsize vehicles they work fine. I see chains being used on snow plows and transport trucks and stuff like that more often than I do on regular cars,
@SMGJohn Chains are really meant for when you do not have snow tires, spike less snow tires (to some degree on ice), but mainly for 'summer' tires (or tires without show grabbing thread). Very rarely would you need chains if/when you have snow tires (or even M+S tires). Also mainly used where people are not custom with snowy winters (i.e. I-80 from San Francisco to Reno ..., Norway over Vikafjell mid winter not so much.
How do they not fall off to the side of the tire, nothing is holding them centered? And how are you sure they would fit your tire, as they are made up by fairly long segments? Regular chains are easier to install.
+Atouk No, I think the chain must has inserts that to be fitted in the deep thread on the tire, otherwise it will likely slide away while driving. If it is laid flat on the pavement, how can you drive that precise at the scale of millimeters to get the thread land on the chain inserts?
i suggest you reduce air by 10lb then after you put these on ...incresse the pressure 5lb.s. that way , they will bge tight and in a center depression which should stop them from comming off
I feel that if this is what you need you should actually need a decent pair of studded snow tires to do the same thing. Also chains are used for deep snow where 1/2 in. lugs will grip the snow, or cleated chains dig into the ice.
@Oldjohn52 Since this chain is in the middle, tire is carier of weight on sides, not chain. ...so, no problem ;) Exactly, you use chains only when nedeed (on snow or ice).
it may be an issue with people using air to fill their tires. as it gets colder (as is usually the case when snow chains are needed) the air will shrink causing the tire to shrink. if a day is particularly cold, it may cause a tire to shrink just enough to allow these to come off while driving. this is why nitrogen is now being used in some cases. temperature fluctuation does not affect it as drastically as simple air.
I used to be a rally driving instructor at the largest school in the US. Im right on this one. Tall and skinny in snow. If its straight ice you can go wider.
Amazing. You could increase or decrease the system diameter as the application demands. The ratcheting-fastening system is tire pressure dependent not tread dependent. Production of this brilliant solution would result in even better more fool proof attachment technique.
Looks a lot easier to put on than regular chains to me. If they work as well then seems like a good idea. However, I'd be a little worried they would slip off, and you'd have to trust that the links are really strong as that looks to be the weak point.
Hi there folks :D .. Im proud to tell that the inventor of this snow chain is from my country and my city ! ( Pula City , Croatia) ... As for zip locs.... yes they are reusable.. if you know the trick how to open them ( or maybe he had some custom designed ones xD
scrap cat I would say it depends on how often you have to use them. Also if they save a lot of time and your wife or love would not have to crawl part way under the car to install chains they may be well worth the extra cost to someone.
Every time I have had to stop and put on chains, I already have a layer of pack snow around the tire. So wrapping these around then compressing them on the tire with the shown tool to make the connection would require I soon stop to do it again. They would wear into that mentioned packed snow around the tire and become loose. I could see stopping to re-tighten them just to find they fell off already. Good thing about conventional chains is the elastic tightener straps are constantly pulling them tight. I agree that good snow tires go along way but there are times when the extra bite that chains can give you will make the difference.
Craig VanMeter You know, I think you are right! I think it would be much more difficult to put these on with the needed tire grooves full of road debris (gravels) and frozen snow/ice. Good eye man! I'll stick with my cumbersome but cheap and 100% effective tire chains.
Canadian cars have winter tyres installed. In a lot of countries there isn't enough snow season to justify them (we only get 10 days'year of snow here) and chains are a good alternative
I agree with n3981k. This design relies on a tight fit with the wheel. How do you achieve this when the tire is caked with snow? Also, in order to equip both front tires, you will need to go back to your car twice since each wheel as to be turned toward the car to be able to do the last step.
you know its the furture when everything is mounted with "future ties" aka god damn zipties. that latching machanism is sick though. ill keep the normal chains thankyou
Notice how conveniently left out the portion how to actually connect them together. Just skipped over to the tightening part. And making an ad for snow chains when no snow, is plain dumb. Showing test runs on gravel?
Darrell Barton looks pretty simple to connect together just by looking at them. I’m sure they’d be good on ice,snow well maybe if there wasn’t much on the ground. Wouldn’t go 4x4ing with them.
Off course I thought about what I said. It seems a lot more difficult to get the 'tension tool' onto the chain when the wheel arches are in the way. Not to mention trying to tension them. I would really like to see him do a rear wheel of a modern car.
studs wouldnt be much use in the heavy snow i hit in the Sierras... although i doubt the chains in this video would be much use either. Also, you have to remove your tires to change them out... take me 2 min to get the chains on and off- Very handy when the snow is only above 3500 ft
I made a better presentation video with snow here:

Je n'ai pas trouvé ce modèle sur le marché en France ! j'aime bien ce modèle.

Would be nice to see them in the SNOW.

I like seeing an inventor demonstrating his invention! well done
If i would ever have to drive through snow, i would totally buy em!
When do the girls come out?
She's in the front passenger seat waiting to suck her man's lollypop as he drives away...
Looks like one of the best inventions I have seen in a long time if it works it will probably save a lot of lives and make winter driving much safer. ITS A YA-YA!
Think being trapped in a room without windows for 10 hours with this song.
Hahaha u would go crazy
Where can I order it?
i can't believe something so simple and easy like this doesn't exist already!

but its actually from the late 60's, "Slow Reamers (Nine is Fine, Mike)".. listen closer :P
im pretty sure this track is called "Makin' Butterfingers"........ :D
I'm REALLY liking that Quick-release mechanism
Nice editing job. I saw what you did on the installation
+John Gemelli
What ?
You can see that the car pulled too far forward. Then magically the "chain" is in the perfect spot.
+John Gemelli
???
No trick,
check other videos, maybe you'll see better. ;)
love that 1970s "9th" chord riff. Makes me want to buy an American Motors Pacer and watch "Welcome Back Kotter" reruns
if you lose tire pressure will the chain come off ?
good question
+roger S.jr. (rms555)
No,
inner chain circle is smaller than tire circle.
Connections are inside lower tire profile.
Losing pressure doesn't make tire radius smaller. ;)
+Don KiksBiscuits I don't think or you'd have to have a flat to have a problem. Since you have to pull over and stop with a flat, you have to take it off and change it anyway.

better to switch operation 5-6 to 6-5
...aftherwhat you will have to
8) turn the key,
9) start the car,
10) press the pedal to resume driving. ;))
+grrunf Try it both ways and get back to me. In the snow, it's probably going to be easier to mount the spare first and then put the chains onto it.

great demonstration of product performance in actual snow!.. great!!
damn nice type r :D would prefer it black or white though :)
I think these chains look awesome!
Nice informative video. Thanks .
But please convey from where to buy ?
Very good idea. Even much more grip than cables or chains and less damage to the tire
Not one ounce of snow in this snow chain demo.

There tightened on to an inflated rubber tire, so there would be a lot of friction.
I spotted your answer there. They fit in one of the grooves that go all the way around the tire.
Very smart! I liked the music too.
Baby making music!
Bravo decki! Sad vidi svijet kako su hrvati umni... Svaka cast!
The ties are totally unnecessary. Lay the strip down flat on the pavement, drive into it, connect the ends.
+Atouk No, I think the chain must has inserts that to be fitted in the deep thread on the tire, otherwise it will likely slide away while driving. If it is laid flat on the pavement, how can you drive that precise at the scale of millimeters to get the thread land on the chain inserts?
@asbaDoce most zip ties do come off, if you get a little pin or something to wiggle the clip it will come off
No demonstration on snow?
Its great to have something like this, the thing is you have to put them on before you get stuck :)
i suggest you reduce air by 10lb then after you put these on ...incresse the pressure 5lb.s. that way , they will bge tight and in a center depression which should stop them from comming off
Wow a new invention.. a snow tire that could drive on dirt.. SUCH genius..
what happens when vtec kicks in though?
you beat ferrari and lambos. rofl
Like the BMW vid in the ice rink, very smart...if only I was cray enough to try them on my bike... ;)
Did that slow appearance of that URL's letters annoy anyone else???!!!
They are re-usable cable ties. They have a little tab that allows them to be removed. You can buy them from most good hardware stores
You only fit it on one wheel?
hahahahahaha
I feel that if this is what you need you should actually need a decent pair of studded snow tires to do the same thing. Also chains are used for deep snow where 1/2 in. lugs will grip the snow, or cleated chains dig into the ice.
no snow?

Cool I would like to try these out. I wonder if they would work on pick up trucks as well as cars.
I wont buy mine. I will just look for them on the side of the road..

So it's like a human centipede, but for tires.

Great idea, flawed in a lot of senses but great idea. Chains are used mainly by heavy transport so that should be your target market,
wheres the snow?
I really like these...
Where's the snow? :)
depends on your wheel well clearance. If it's a rear wheel drive car you should have enough clearance
where can I buy this it's not ebay or amazon neither a link... where

You take the zips off, when chain is attached.

How about in Mud? I would to go mud terrain with these. Will the mud stick on this chains? Love it.
well i didnt see any snow in this video :P
Really good idea. It's a 100 times better than traditional chains.

SNOW..
check the latest video. there is snow, ice, tests, sparks and more ;)
I am officially impressed.

Nice music. Makes me wanna dance while putting it easily on my tires! lolol Imagine that mister in the vid dancing. cannot be unseen! XDDD
you want 450.00 dollars for a set of chains . you are crazy

They could if you want, but you don't use this on dry road, same as any other snow chain.
