Bought these for my rear-wheel drive Dodge Magnum here in Portland Ory-gun. Stock tires are not setup for snow and rear-wheel drive is a bit trickier in slick conditions with a lot of horses under the hood. So I bought these chains "just in case." Today we had a snowstorm, cars slipping and sliding all over and I wanted to get home. Put on these chains, bit of a struggle to get them all locked in place, and headed out. No problems at all. Passed a lot of cars stuck against curbs or unable to move. The last dragon I had to slay was the big steep hill to the house. Pointed the car up and just kept it pointed straight. Right up with no troubles, maybe a little bit of micro-fish tailing, but the grip these chains gave me worked like a champ. One hint that I discovered, buy a set of gloves to store in the bag with the chains, I did not have any with me and had to hop in the car a few times to get my fingers warmed back up. The little plastic ones they put in there are worthless against cold and snow while you are hooking the chains up.
