About SCC Z-571 Z-Chain Extreme Performance Cable Tire Traction Chain
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
74% appreciated its durability, though 26% experienced breakage
I am giving the benefit of the doubt that it is a defect as all my other sets still work great. I am rating it 3 for durability since one side still works and they are sending a replacement.
Near the end of the time I had them on, the snow chain broke.
The plastic piece supporting the cable on the chain is flimsy and breaks after a couple of uses.
80% found it easy to install
Installing the chains was easy.
69% liked the high-quality chain material, but 31% found it prone to corrosion
The chains look solid and well made.
I have used the snow-chains only 3 times around town and they have already broken. I have not driven faster than 25 miles an hour or further than a few miles. This indicates poor material quality of the snow-chains.
I noticed corrosion signs on the chains I just bought. I am extremely disappointed with the quality.
Rephrased:
I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the chains I just bought as I noticed corrosion signs on them.
While going down the driveway on snow, one of the cross cables broke.
83% liked how quiet they are, but 17% found them noisy
The snow chains made a significant difference in traction, but they were loud and hard on my suspension.
I stopped as soon as I heard the thumping sound, but it was too late. The noise level of the snow-chains was high enough to be noticed by me.
72% liked the perfect size and fit, but 28% found it small
The Z-583 snow chains fit perfectly on my BFG 285/70/18 Rock Warrior wheels.
I found conflicting fitment guides - one online said it would fit my tires, but another in the package said it wouldn't. When I tried to put it on, it didn't fit.
Even after adjusting the chains to the tightest link, my tire still hangs loose.
If the size of the tires falls at the end of the range that these chains are supposed to fit, it is better to buy the next size or not to buy it.
76% praised for its exceptional traction
The traction performance of snow-chains on ice is great.
I am giving the benefit of the doubt that it is a defect as all my other sets still work great. I am rating it 3 for durability since one side still works and they are sending a replacement.
The snow chains have a small bar welded to each chain link that contacts the road to help give better traction and/or longer life, making them more expensive than many others.
I found a helpful tip on how to install snow chains easily and neatly. I cut off the flopping end links using a bolt cutter and then secured the chains on the tires with turnbuckles from Home Depot. The installation was fast and easy.
The chains are excellent and very durable. I absolutely abused them and they performed flawlessly.
