Product Description:
Security Chain Company Super Z6, SZ137, Cable Chain for Passenger Cars, Pickups & SUVs - Set of 2
Super Z6 was designed by SCC for cars, trucks, and SUV's with restricted clearance around the drive tires. Based on SCC's experience with other products in the "Z" family, Super Z6 has one very special quality: it will operate in less than half of the space required by most cable chains and tire chains. Super Z6 requires only 6mm (1/4") of sidewall clearance to operate. The diagonal pattern provides constant traction, aggressive starting, stopping, cornering and ensures compatibility on vehicles equipped with traction control and electronically monitored brake systems. Traction coils, made from alloy steel are more durable than conventional tire or cable chains. A split outside cable with two fastening positions allows for easy installation without moving the vehicle, and there's no need to stop and retighten. Most cars, trucks and SUV's manufactured since the late 80's will have special clearance requirements. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the tire positioning on your vehicle. Traction products not only have to fit the tire, but must also fit within the space provided around the tires. Most issues are hidden from view as they are behind the tire near braces, suspension parts, strut housings, splash guards and fuel and brake lines. More information should be located in the owner's manual under chains, traction devices, tires or similar heading. It is important to select a traction product that is compatible with the minimum class assigned to your vehicle. The class assigned to your vehicle is based on the original tire and wheel size shown in your owner's manual. Using a different size tire may affect the chain's ability to operate properly. Some owner's manuals state that certain tire sizes do not provide enough clearnace to accommmodate winter traction products. The fact is, many of these vehicles can use SCC's Super Z6. Trying to measure the nearest obstruction under your vehicle could prove tricky.
Customer Reviews:
Works great in the snow, but had to get it replaced. (2010-06-05) Rating: 4/5
The chains worked extremely well the few times that I used it heading to South Lake Tahoe during the '09 season. Provided a great amount of traction under heavy snow. However, one of the chains broke off (must have just been a defective link). I sent it back 2 months ago for a replacement and a brand new one was shipped last week with no problems. Easy to put on and take off. SZ127 was a perfect fit for a 195/60R15 2004 Honda Civic. Would have received five stars but had to ship this back at my cost!
Snow Cable Chains (2010-04-21) Rating: 5/5
This is a life saver when your regular tires won't grip the ice or the snow. They're easy to put on and they come with a nice storage carry bag

Very good product - extremely useful during last winter on the East Coast. Would recommend to anyone.
Tire Cable Chains (2010-04-02) Rating: 4/5
These Cable chains were a nice thing to carry on our recent trip to Wolf Creek Colorado.
They are very light and compact to carry in case of incliment weather.
Amazon expedited my free shipping order to coincide with our departure.
Trailblazer SS (2010-03-25) Rating: 4/5
Fit and went on good on 07 Trailblazer SS with 20" factory rims and 265/50R20 tires. By far the easyiest ones I have ever used. No trouble installing in snow. Did not come in contact with rims, was close though.
