From the manufacturer
Auto-Trac's package includes clear, illustrated step-by-step installation and removal instructions, plastic waterproof gloves, as well as the storage bag itself to safely and conveniently hold the chains. Replacement cross members are available through some retailers.
Note: Chain tensioners should not be used.
For passenger car and light truck applications
Auto‑Trac can be installed without moving (or jacking up) the vehicle! The patented, ratcheting tightening system automatically tightens the chain while driving. Just connect the inside cable, attach the two outside self-tighteners and drive. No additional chain tensioners are necessary or recommended.
Auto‑Trac meets Class 'S' clearance requirements on SUVs and pickup trucks, as well as normal passenger cars, matching the capabilities of most of our Z cable products. This is possible because of a highly effective, patented tensioning system.
Auto‑Trac cross member links are made of manganese alloy steel, allowing them to be shorter, narrower and lighter than conventional cross members. This reduces 'fly‑off' during operation and provides more gripping points. The low‑mass 'D' cross section of the links also contributes to longer wear because the impact of the cross members on the road surface is reduced and the surface area contacting the road is increased.

The value for money is another aspect where these snow chains shine. The price is simply incredible, offering exceptional quality and performance without breaking the bank. Driving on snow and ice can be daunting, but with these chains, my vehicle had excellent traction, making my winter driving experiences much safer and more comfortable.
In summary, the SCC Auto Trac series snow chains are a must-have for anyone who faces snowy or icy conditions. Their ease of installation, self-tightening feature, perfect fit, and unbeatable price make them stand out from the competition. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their winter driving safety and convenience. Five stars all the way!
When they arrived I intended on trying them out before I needed them but never got around to it. Then one day, late at night we were coming back from snowboarding and it had been a particularly snowy cold day and we couldn't make it up our driveway. My driveway is about 130 yards long and somewhat steep. The cold snap a few weeks ago had frozen the ground to where the freezing rain made the driveway like an ice skating rink. My wife was driving and got almost to the top then slid most of the way back down. She has a 2000 Suburban with the same size tires so i hopped out and walked up to the house, eager to try out my new chains.
1/2 hour later while I am slipping on the ice, laying in the snow, and using lots of colorful words I finally get the chains on. I am frustrated because I can tell that they should be easy to put on, but mine seem to be just a hair to small. The cable in the ratchet is about 1.5 inches too short. I have to manually get the chains as tight as they will possibly go then pull as hard as I can to get them to latch. Once I finally got them on, she drove up the driveway and parked in the garage. I had to then take the chains off, and go through the whole ordeal again as I fought to get them on my plow truck so i could clear off the driveway and road. They did not go on any easier the second time, and my words got even more colorful.
Once I was done plowing I came inside and logged onto Peerless' website thinking I must have done something wrong. The card on the chains listed my tire size as compatible with these chains so I assumed I had the right size. I watched the promotional video on the website and to my chagrin there was a dainty lady who is driving in snowy conditions and hops out, installs these in seconds barely getting any snow on her hands and gets back in her car with a big smile and drives off happily into the snowstorm! My wife started poking fun at me saying maybe she should have put them on because obviously women were better at it. I immediately wrote an email to customer service explaining what happened and asking what I did wrong.
It took a week but I finally received an email back asking for my address. Next thing I know they sent me a pair of the next size up: 0232105. No charge, no questions, just a note saying let us know if these fit. Interestingly, these chains also listed my tire size as compatible. Putting these new ones on is amazing, just like the lady in the video. They go on quick and easy, they stay tight and centered and come off quick and easy. Not only that, they grip better than any other chains I have used, they ride better and are quieter than any other chains. I am seriously considering buying a second pair for my wife to keep in her Suburban - I have never been so pleased with chains before.
I have only used them for a few weeks and cannot speak to long term reliability, but I use them a lot. I have to plow my driveway and a couple miles of private road whenever it snows so if they give out on me I will be sure to update my review, but as for now I would recommend to anyone that needs chains to get these. I have used a lot of chains and these are by far the best in all categories: ease of install/removal, ride, grip, and noise. But be warned, make sure you get the right size! And you might want to check the fit when you get them, don't go by the card that lists compatible tire sizes.
EDIT 09 March 2014:
So I have been using these for a couple months and I still love them. It looks like the winter is coming to an end and I will be putting my plow truck away soon. The chains worked great for plowing and getting up my driveway on slick days. I used them a couple of other times as well, like when I came across a girl who had slid off the road and needed to be pulled back out. The chains gave me the traction I needed to be able to pull her out. I even had a friend of mine call me out of the blue to ask for recommendations on chains, he needed a new set and knew I had to plow a grade and wanted to know what I used and if I liked them. He hauls firewood for a living during the winter and needed chains to get in and out of the woods with. I told him to get a set of these and told him the same shining review I gave here. The only time these chains let me down was once when I got stuck in my plow truck. During the constant forward-reverse cycles as I was working my way out one of the chains came off. It was a bummer but at least it didn't wrap itself around my axle (like the older style chains used to do) it just came off and laid on the ground. Alas, when I needed it most it wasn't there. But with one chain on my plow truck and another set on my suburban we eventually pulled the truck out. All-in-all I am very satisfied with these chains, they are quieter than most, have a smoother ride than most and go on and off very easily.
Putting then on is easy enough once you get the hang of it-- I could put them both on in 10 mins. The ratcheting mechanism failed 3 months in, perhaps due to mud that I wasn't able to remove. I was still able to use them without it by simply tightening them with bungees or tensioners.
In the end, one of the clasps came off the inner cable. Since it was cable and nor chain I couldn't weld it back together so I had to toss it. I upgraded to ones that are all chain and have no cable.
All in all these are decent chains for the price, especially if you don't plan on using them often.
