There's not much more to say. They're really good chains! Full details are shown on the product page.

• an asymmetrical diamond pattern
• Thule’s automatic chain tensioning system
• perpendicular “ice breaker" links which provide better 'bite' in compacted snow and ice as well as better side to side stability.

• an externally operated quick removal system. Taking the chains off the wheels is usually the trickiest and often the muckiest aspect of using snow chains – you have to position each wheel so the inner chain joint is uppermost, then slacken the outer chain, reach over the tyre, feel for and grab both ends of the inner chain hoop, and then uncouple them. Thule’s automatic system allows you just to pull hard on a toggle and the chain falls off the wheel.

• an asymmetric diamond pattern to prevent the chain getting stuck in the tyre grooves and to improve lateral stability and, above all
• Thule’s superb automatic chain tensioning system which constantly seeks to keep the chains as tight as possible and saves you the hassle of getting out of the car again after a hundred metres or so and retightening the chains. When you come to fit the chains at the bottom of the hill leading to a ski resort you’ll probably find several long lay-bys which are designed for "stopping again", but it’s not always so easy or convenient, especially in a blizzard!

These chains are particularly suitable where there’s minimal distance between the wheel and the wheel arch, a typical feature of many rear wheel drives with large alloys. If you can't get your forearms into this gap then the K-Summit is your only Thule option.

They’re also easy to fit and remove and, because you don't have to put your forearms over the tyre, you shouldn't get dirty slush on your forearms or clothes.
