Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.

Suitable with Bridgestone Duravis tyres
- 9mm chains are often the maximum permitted
- The asymmetric diamond pattern improves traction
- Automatic chain tensioning saves time and effort
- an asymmetric diamond pattern to prevent the chain getting stuck in the tyre grooves and to improve lateral stability and, above all
- Konig'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!

Suitable with Bridgestone Duravis tyres
- 9mm links
- A superb new chain system that, with very little practice, really can be fitted in 12 seconds. Easy-fit should appeal, for example, to commuters who may need to fit and remove chains several times on a journey, as well as to ski-drivers who appreciate genuine customer-focussed innovation.

- Ideal where there’s minimal distance between the wheel and the wheel arch
- No chain inside the wheel
- Always quick and easy to fit and remove
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 König 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.
