★★★★☆
I broke one, so I'm buying another set. Don't be like me!
The Good:
I put these on my 2015 Mustang GT on 19" wheels which, apparently, could get stuck on a snowflake and a slight incline.
Couldn't get out of the parking lot at work without them, so I put them on and drove home, impossible in this storm without these beauties.
They worked better than I expected, on a RWD car with no weight over the driving axle.
The Bad:
I stopped after about 1/2 mile to tighten the OUTSIDE of the cables.
Well, it's important to read the directions.
Let me say that again.
It's important to read the directions.
Well, in hindsight, I should have tightened the INSIDE cable first, as other reviews stated.
The Ugly:
Unfortunately, by the time I got home, shovelled the steep driveway, and attempted the climb, one of the traction cables was sliding to the outside of the tire.
I was tired, cranky, and really just wanted to be done with the whole snowstorm situation so I hit the throttle and tore up the cable.
What will I do now, you ask?
Fortunately, it didn't do any damage to my car.
And, since I can see where the fault was mine, I'm actually ordering another set because they worked so well.
What would you do differently?
Just check to make sure they are tightened equally inside and outside your tire, and realize that they are meant for light duty.
