These chains are fitted from the outside of the wheel without any need to move the vehicle, and really are as quick to fit as car chains.
Drivers who have experienced the effort of fitting old fashioned truck chains, getting behind the wheel to join the inner loop of chain, will be amazed at this modern technology!
If you are looking for chains for twin wheel vehicles then we recommend the Maggi Select MATIC – it is not easy to pull the Select RING chains between the two tyres.
Bridgestone M729 e or Michelin XDN2 Grip take Select Ring 149 Product code MGSR149A very practical and easy-to-use 300 lumen head torch with three lighting levels, all you need for general lighting - in and around the home, car, campsite.
You need two hands to fit snowchains or AutoSock. If you've never used a headtorch before you'll be amazed at what a difference they make, and how often you'll end up using it. Keep one in the car, or in your outdoor coat pocket. Petzl is the head torch brand, much copied, never bettered.
After selecting your vehicle we will show you the correct size of Maggi truck chains: for your vehicle and tyre combination. Please note that the price may vary between sizes.
Fitting is both quick and easy. Push one end of the cable around the wheel at ground level, lift both ends of the cable and attach them together at the top of the tyre before pushing them behind the wheel. Join the outer chain ring and then pull the tensioning chain tight through the self-locking ratchet.
These are not self tensioning chains so you’ll need to make a further tensioning stop once the chain has properly shaken itself into place, usually after 10 metres or so.
