SCC Z-Chain Chain Clearance Specifications and Details

The SCC Z-Chain tire chain requires a minimum of 15 mm of clearance on the inside sidewall of the tire. While other obstructions may be present, the critical clearance area on most vehicles is the inside sidewall of the tire. This is where the tire comes closest to suspension components like springs, shocks, and struts, as well as brake lines. If you are unsure if your vehicle has the 15 mm of clearance to accommodate this chain, be sure to check your vehicle's owner's manual for more information. If you are still unsure, chat or email with one of our winter traction experts today for help.

Bought these for my Armada, the owners manual said no chains for 20' tires. Well these fit tight with plenty of clearance, no slapping even in turns. We don't get a lot of ice and snow here but when we do I'm prepared. Last year we had more than usual, I had no problem getting out and getting around. I highly recommend these!!

Purchased for my 2017 Class C Motor Home. Put on outer rear dually. Used to get to the top of ski mts. through out the west. takes 5-10 min to install (took 20 min 1st time) with practice. Did not 'flop' around. Stayed tight to wheel. No damage to vehicle.

I purchased these for emergency_s n to drive on a class 4 unmaintained road in Vermont . Although i practiced putting them on and off inside a garage - i have not needed them yet . They seem pretty easy n i rather have them then not have them . I will not be _ that girl _ stuck on the side of a road . No regrets here on my purchase .

Cables rusted well into several layers of strands after one use off road. No salt to warrant such severe degradation of the product. They were cleaned and heavily oiled immediately after use. I do not recommend this product for longevity.

I live in SoCal near the beach but bought these for a trip to Yosemite in winter. Chain control put in place the last 2 days so needed to have them to be able to leave. Myself and my brother had very little experience putting on chains but were able to figure this out after a short period of study. Hardest part was having to kind of get under the truck to clip the link on the back of the tire, but after doing that tightening was easy. Drove 2... read more...

Can't beat the traction you get with these chains!! I drove a nurse to her patients around 200 miles over a weekend during a a freeing rain turned ice storm. The first day just used the chains on my rear tires. (rear wheel drive Colorado) no problems. The second day I had the chains on the rear tires and one chain on right front tire. Roads were solid ice. the Right front tire aloud me to steer going down hills in in curves. Kept me from going... read more...

Bought these for my daughter's new new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport so she could visit us in the mountains of Big Bear Lake. I use the same chains on our Subaru Crosstrek XV so I was pleased to find these at a price from your company substantially lower than what I paid locally. Easy on, easy off, thank God though we are not required to use them unless it is really snowing hard, in which case, stay home!

I live on top of a mountain and these are a life-saver for my RWD Charger. The steep 14_ grade 2 mile long paved road and 1.5 mile long gravel side road have not given me any trouble. Overall the Z-Chain grips great but can be a little 'greasy' on the looser gravel road.

Based on our previous use of Vulcan Tire Chains and have moved a bit further south, now for emergency use only. So far no emergencies of such_ but. Based on history, the easiness of installation, agility to move along faster on ice, dependability, compretively longer life we feel secure while having these in the back of the pickup. Security, having them and ready probably means we will never need them. Insurance.

These were very hard to get on our tires which are grappler off road tires. We called Vulcan and the chains are the correct size but we had to roll the truck back and forth to get them to attach. Too much work to get them on!

Easy to put on with good instructions. Gloves provided a nice addition. We had a tough winter and I kept chains on for 2 weeks at a time. They got me around town safely. With conditions as we had this year, chains made more sense than buying snow tires. We cross mountains at times but never had to put them on.

My ONLY issue with these is that the sizing is such that I have them installed on the tightest hooks possible and they are still loose and could have been a touch smaller.
