Self-tensioning snow chains put chain behind the wheel as well as on top of it. The chain, hanging from a sprung steel hoop, is pushed over the top of the wheel. These chains can be pushed into wheel arches where there isn't space for your forearms, and they are also ideal for twin wheeled vans and minibuses.
Konig Easy-fit
Self-tensioning snow chains
König's original Easy-Fit CU-9 holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest-fitting snow chain, ready in 12 seconds. Its built-in rigid arch slips over the tyre top-to-bottom, then a foot-pedal aluminium bar activates automatic tensioning as you drive off - a dependable, quick-fit choice for standard cars.
Konig Reflex Cross
Self-tensioning snow chains
König's Reflex Cross uses a spring-loaded system, built on their Easy-fit technology, that tightens front and back simultaneously as you push the rigid inner hoop over the wheel. Ideal for SUVs and crossovers with tight wheel arch clearance, it also protects alloy rims from chain damage.
Konig Reflex Edge
Self-tensioning snow chains
König's Reflex Edge comes pre-assembled and is, stretched over the top of the tyre and down, before the one-click Reflex Box tensions the chain on both the inner and outer sides. Designed for cars where conventional chains won't fit, it's especially well suited to alloy rims and tight clearances.
Konig Easy-fit SUV
Self-tensioning snow chains
Built on the same record-breaking Easy-Fit mechanism as the CU-9 - one-stop fitting, foot-pedal tensioning - the Easy-Fit SUV adds an asymmetrical tread pattern with icebreaker reinforcements, sized and shaped for SUV and crossover tyres for extra grip and comfort.
