Maggi The One chains (pair) no. MGONE50

£49.95
RRP: £74.95
Code: MGONE50

The One

  • is a top performing 9mm chain (8mm inside the wheel)
  • is quicker to fit than all other traditional chains, thanks to a special tensioning lever which replaces the normal tensioning chain
  • has a corrosion-proof self-tensioning system which uses elastomer balls built into the outer chain ring; fitting is a "One stop only" process
  • has a lower profile than most chains, preventing contact with wheel rims and damage to alloys

Summary: Innovations in fitting and self-tensioning give this chain the edge over other 9mm self-tensioning chains.


Maggi's "The One" includes two innovative developments that really do make a difference to both effectiveness and fitting convenience:

  • A patented new self-tensioning system that tightens the "outer chain ring" evenly, with no reliance on luck to achieve optimum tension. This is done by placing elastomer balls within the chain links. When these are gently stretched with the tensioning lever they hold the outer ring of chain nice and tight, with opportunity to flex in line with the frequent changes in tyre shape. Other self-tensioning systems rely on bungees (which aren't bad, but rely on general 'bounce' in the wheel to jerk a chain through a one-way ratchet) or spring-loaded wire devices (which can freeze up or be squashed during dismounting and work across the face of the wheel).
  • A simple cam lever which is so much quicker to use than a traditional tensioning chain (which then needs to be secured by being looped around the outer chain ring). There are no ratchet mechanisms to jam, rust or be at risk of being driven over when the chains are removed.

Other features:

  • The One is suitable for use with modern low profile tyres - it has a lower profile than most tradional chains, minimising contact with the wheel rims.
  • The links are only 9mm high on the tyre tread, with a flexible sheathed cable inside the wheel which is only 8mm.
  • The rhomboid shaped links are designed to produce excellent grip, even on corners.
  • Maggi chains are approved to the relevant German TÜV and Austrian ÖNORM standards. They use manganese and boron steels, optimally case-hardened.
  • They are presented in a tough outer case which has two "Click" catches to make sure it closes each time.

Important safety information: These chains will fit around these tyres but you must not purchase them unless you have checked your vehicle handbook and found out that you are allowed to fit chains to this tyre size. This information may also be provided on our "What fits my vehicle?" database which is offered only as a guide - it is invariably out of date, with new vehicles and new tyre sizes arriving in the UK most months. A bigger problem for us is that changes in manufacturer databases are sometimes not reported to us until much later. There is no substitute for checking the handbook!

Maggi is a very long established family business, a world leader in chain technology, based in Italy, employing some 250 people and with representation in 65 countries. Their entire manufacturing process is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001.

We're also showing you a range of other winter motoring products which we're selling here at market leading prices, including a snow and ice windscreen protector, a telescopic snow shovel, and a snow brush - all of these items are almost essential kit for winter weather, especially we suggest the snow brush.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

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:

  • König, Polaire and Spikes-Spider snow chains - at least 10% off!
  • INNO, Maggi, RUD and Thule snow chains - at least 20% off! Up to 30% off where we have large overstocks.

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.
