   praxeum – January 19, 2014

   I needed new chains for my plow truck and researched a lot before finally deciding on these. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with stock 245/75R16 tires. I read all of the reviews and ordered with a little bit of apprehension about them fitting. These things tend to have one of two reviews, either people 1) Love them or 2) hate them because they don’t fit. I ordered them in hopes of falling in category one.When they arrived I intended on trying them out before I needed them but never got around to it. Then one day, late at night we were coming back from snowboarding and it had been a particularly snowy cold day and we couldn’t make it up our driveway. My driveway is about 130 yards long and somewhat steep. The cold snap a few weeks ago had frozen the ground to where the freezing rain made the driveway like an ice skating rink. My wife was driving and got almost to the top then slid most of the way back down. She has a 2000 Suburban with the same size tires so i hopped out and walked up to the house, eager to try out my new chains.1/2 hour later while I am slipping on the ice, laying in the snow, and using lots of colorful words I finally get the chains on. I am frustrated because I can tell that they should be easy to put on, but mine seem to be just a hair to small. The cable in the ratchet is about 1.5 inches too short. I have to manually get the chains as tight as they will possibly go then pull as hard as I can to get them to latch. Once I finally got them on, she drove up the driveway and parked in the garage. I had to then take the chains off, and go through the whole ordeal again as I fought to get them on my plow truck so i could clear off the driveway and road. They did not go on any easier the second time, and my words got even more colorful.Once I was done plowing I came inside and logged onto Peerless’ website thinking I must have done something wrong. The card on the chains listed my tire size as compatible with these chains so I assumed I had the right size. I watched the promotional video on the website and to my chagrin there was a dainty lady who is driving in snowy conditions and hops out, installs these in seconds barely getting any snow on her hands and gets back in her car with a big smile and drives off happily into the snowstorm! My wife started poking fun at me saying maybe she should have put them on because obviously women were better at it. I immediately wrote an email to customer service explaining what happened and asking what I did wrong.It took a week but I finally received an email back asking for my address. Next thing I know they sent me a pair of the next size up: 0232105. No charge, no questions, just a note saying let us know if these fit. Interestingly, these chains also listed my tire size as compatible. Putting these new ones on is amazing, just like the lady in the video. They go on quick and easy, they stay tight and centered and come off quick and easy. Not only that, they grip better than any other chains I have used, they ride better and are quieter than any other chains. I am seriously considering buying a second pair for my wife to keep in her Suburban – I have never been so pleased with chains before.I have only used them for a few weeks and cannot speak to long term reliability, but I use them a lot. I have to plow my driveway and a couple miles of private road whenever it snows so if they give out on me I will be sure to update my review, but as for now I would recommend to anyone that needs chains to get these. I have used a lot of chains and these are by far the best in all categories: ease of install/removal, ride, grip, and noise. But be warned, make sure you get the right size! And you might want to check the fit when you get them, don’t go by the card that lists compatible tire sizes.EDIT 09 March 2014:So I have been using these for a couple months and I still love them. It looks like the winter is coming to an end and I will be putting my plow truck away soon. The chains worked great for plowing and getting up my driveway on slick days. I used them a couple of other times as well, like when I came across a girl who had slid off the road and needed to be pulled back out. The chains gave me the traction I needed to be able to pull her out. I even had a friend of mine call me out of the blue to ask for recommendations on chains, he needed a new set and knew I had to plow a grade and wanted to know what I used and if I liked them. He hauls firewood for a living during the winter and needed chains to get in and out of the woods with. I told him to get a set of these and told him the same shining review I gave here. The only time these chains let me down was once when I got stuck in my plow truck. During the constant forward-reverse cycles as I was working my way out one of the chains came off. It was a bummer but at least it didn’t wrap itself around my axle (like the older style chains used to do) it just came off and laid on the ground. Alas, when I needed it most it wasn’t there. But with one chain on my plow truck and another set on my suburban we eventually pulled the truck out. All-in-all I am very satisfied with these chains, they are quieter than most, have a smoother ride than most and go on and off very easily.

   I have used these maybe 4 or 5 times in my home state of NY 3 of which were a must as I wasn’t going anywhere without them. With these chains I was plowing through 2+ feet of snow without issue. These can be a pain to put on, especially one eye you’re in snow. These are easier to put on before getting stuck but with them you can get out of a lot, including going up a 30° hill of ice.While I have never run these on my front tires, I keeping with my owners manual, and out of fear of catching something while turning, having them just on the back, especially with a locking rear differential has been more than enough to push through snow and ice. These provide more than enough traction to push through snow and ice as well as pull other vehicles with you.I have used these on both a set of Dunlop’s that cake with my vehicle and Perrelli’s which I’ve run for a few years. I’ve recently switched to a mud/snow tire and haven’t tried to fit them again; I wanted better snow performance without having to chain up.I have used old school chains both install in place and drive overs and can say these are the best chains I’ve ever used. I prefer the lower profile of these over standard chains as well as the auto tightened which makes installing these so much easier.

   Had the chance to use them as Iowa was blasted with our 1st major snow storm. These chains worked great! I installed the night before the storm was to hit, so I was ready. Plowed right through the 8-10 inches of snow. No slippage. No sagging. Great purchase.Product arrived in a timely manner. Nice case. Installed as the videos/instructions demonstrate. I have yet to use or need the chains yet. But I did install on one tire just to check it out. Not as easy with the the tire on the vehicle & it does make a difference the size of tire. I have 20″ tires, so reaching around the tire on a dirty, snowy pickup is more challenging than a smaller tire on say a Taurus. Yet the biggest challenge & most time consuming was after extracting the chains from the case, untangling/laying them out. I have no plans on putting them back in the case. Most likely hang in the garage or be in my pickup tool box. As for my wife EVER, installing them. Never will happen. Can’t comment on the durability as I haven’t needed them yet. But they look well built and did ratchet up nice and snug as advertised. Keeping in mind the suggested speed with chains on is 30 MPH or less. Of course common sense should tell ya if conditions are bad enough for tire chains. One most likely wouldn’t or shouldn’t be going that fast.

   My husband said… The chains are easy to install… obviously try them on before you need them! And he is glad he did. The sizes displayed are generic and the chains were too big. He had to down load the PDF to find the correct size needed. Save your time and figure out the exact model you need.

   Renegade Reviews – November 8, 2022

   I bought a set of these 3 years ago and have used them on my plow truck every winter. The old set still works but over time I feel one day they will not and I noticed they only had one left in stock so in fear of not being able to get a replacement set when needed I decided to buy a second set to have one hand for when the day comes. These don’t look like much and I had my doubts when I got my first set but then I discovered they work amazingly well and my plow truck has never had a traction or stuck issue with them on since I got them. Now I have a back up set because I know eventually they will wear out.

   We have not actually used them yet , our trip is in December. However we did a practice application in our driveway and they were very easy to install and remove.The fold out picture directions were very easy to follow. We feel confident we can apply them if needed . We are so glad we selected this set.
