König K-Summit XLs are easy to fit and to remove. They're often the only option shown, especially where there’s minimal distance between the wheel and the wheel arch, or where there are clearance issues inside the wheel which prevent the use of traditional snow chains.

Select Vehicle

After selecting your vehicle we will show you the correct size of Konig K-Summit XL for your vehicle and tyre combination. Please note that the price may vary between sizes.

The K-Summit XL is suitable for larger vehicles (MPVs, SUVs, small 4x4s) up to 2,000kg.

König's K-Summit is what we call a "Ladder track chain". It's fixed to a wheel bolt with a special adapter, winds on to the wheel when you start to move, places a ladder of chain around the face of the tyre, with no parts inside the wheel, and requires no additional tensioning. The external bracing mechanism, and the friction between the chain and the tyre, prevents it from coming off the wheel, especially during cornering.

The hardened steel traction plates incorporate specially shaped "ice breaker" ridges; the chain elements are made from case-hardened manganese nickel (MnNi) alloy steel to provide an optimum combination of strength and hardness.

Each K-Summit size comes as standard with 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm wheel bolt adapters - adapters are available separately if you have different sized wheel nuts.

Because each K-Summit size fits a number of tyre sizes, some adjustment to the circumference of the ladder track is usually required first time out - this is easy to do, especially as K-Summits have a really clever spring loaded tensioning system.

A few turns of an open ended 17mm spanner fits the adapter to the wheel bolt - a spanner with an insulated handle is supplied - and the rest is easy. There's a ratchet to take the strain and to make sure that the system is at an appropriate tension.

Removing the K-Summit is also quick, clean and easy - loosen off the ratchet and pull the chain off the tyre.

Other features:

  • K-Summits are supplied in a strong carrying bag, shaped so that it fits flush against the back of the rear seat, together with a pair of plastic gloves, a kneeling mat, and some emergency spare links (pliers are required).
  • We have a full spare parts programme
  • All König snow chains meet the requirements of Austria's Ö-Norm 5117 and Germany's TÜV.

Excellent!

We're also showing you a range of other winter motoring products which we're selling here at market leading prices, including a snow and ice windscreen protector, a telescopic snow shovel, and a snow brush - all of these items are almost essential kit for winter weather, especially we suggest the snow brush.

Konig K SUMMIT snow chains - How to fit
König K-Summit - adjustments for first time use
K-Summit chains need to be configured for your wheels, best done at home before they are needed for real. This video shows how this is done - note that some of the translations from the Italian could be better, e.g. for 'nuts' read also 'wheel bolts', but the video is overall very clear.
