Anyone familiar with how this is handled? I've dealt with chain conditions and have never actually installed chains for such conditions. My only experience is in dry, daytime conditions in my driveway just getting used to putting on a pair of SCC Super Z6, or unsuccessfully trying to install some ladder chains per the instructions in my garage. These were obviously test runs to get used to it in better conditions than I would face in the real world.
So I did recently get a pair of Peerless/Security-Chain Super Z for a front-wheel drive car. I'm thinking of maybe going to South Lake Tahoe and driving around in them around town at reasonable speeds if there's a lot of icy roads. But only if there are chain conditions coming in. I've seen chain off areas, but I can't find anything that's specifically noting that they have to come off. I'm not so much worried about the main roads which have a lot of traffic and that get cleared by crews, but maybe parking lots that may not be regularly cleared. I remember one of my first times in a snow covered parking lot learning about how braking worked. I practiced on a stretch where I braked and I slid maybe a foot more. I figure with chains I won't have to deal with that or at least I'll have much better steering and braking.
They seem somewhat different than the Super Z6 set that I have for my WRX. Obviously they don't have a plastic cover over the wires. The connectors are more a nub and hole rather than the keyhole style. The chain tighteners seem to be the same type though with the plastic clips. And they come in a plastic box where I had one heck of a time trying to get it back in after looking them over. But otherwise they operate about the same using the same type of hardened coils. Mine have little plastic bits to separate the coils from the ends, so I'm not sure if this is a slightly older version or not.
