Why buy Easy-fit? Thule's Easy-fit is a truly innovative tangle-free chain system which is easy, intuitive, clean and quick both to fit and to remove. Who can use Easy-fit? First of all, please check your car handbook to find out whether snowchains may be used on your tyre size. If there is a "No fit for snowchains" then you need to look for the Thule K-Summit or another "ladder track" chain. Please also note that these Easy-fit are not strong enough for use on SUVs and 4x4s, even if there is a set for your tyre size. A heavy-duty 4x4 version will be available in due course. Fitting: No doubt about it, Thule has designed a winner with its Easy-fit chains:
You should have fitted them in approximately 12 seconds a side, without effort, and without getting your hands or clothes dirty. Fantastic! Removal:
It really is this easy! Check out the Fitting video tab for more information. Technical stuff:
Easy-fit for rear wheel drives: Easy-fit chains are particularly suitable for vehicles with limited space between the wheel and the wheel arch. This is an important consideration, because when you come to fit and remove all other chain-link snow chains, and all snow socks, you need to be able to get your forearms into this space. Easy-fit are fitted from the front of the wheel and are therefore suitable for a number of rear wheel drive cars that currently have a very limited range of snowchain options. Summary: The Easy-fit is a very clever development of the long-established RUD-matic concept, with the chain held on a sprung steel hoop that can easily be pushed into the narrow space between the top of a wheel and a wheel arch. But instead of taking up the slack with a single tensioning chain, the Easy-fit aluminium tensioning bars tighten in two directions at once, self-tensioning as the wheels starts to turn. Really clever stuff! It can be more of an effort to remove snow chains than to fit them, but removing the Easy-fit is almost as quick, clean and easy as fitting them. They’re superb! Just be sure that the aluminium tensioning bars are well away from the wheels before you drive off the chains. The carry bag doubles as a kneeler, with the instructions printed right in front of you – a really nice touch. Easy-fit won the Innovation of the Year Award at EquipAuto 2011, Paris.

There are two parts to our snow chains offer this year: (1) Clearance prices on many top branded snow chains, including RUD and Thule - an amazing opportunity for those who are quick off the mark! Thule (who are the biggest brand in the car racks market) have sold their snow chains division; the same chains are now being sold under the König brand. Thule branded chains have the same specifications as the König branded versions - all that has changed is the name on the chain and the name on the box. (2) Multibuy discounts - significant discounts if you buy two pairs of snow chains at the same time, or one pair of chains and one pair of AutoSock: If you do either of these things, we will discount the snow chains as follows:
As usual, you change the quantities in the Shopping Basket. Many customers will, for example, use snow chains on their driving wheels for Alpine use, and use AutoSock on the non-driving wheels, especially if these are the steering wheels. Also note that AutoSock work very well in very wet snow, even on slush, where snowchains are often not suitable because they can't get any grip in the snow. So having both AutoSock and snowchains makes sense from at least two different perspectives. |
