Thule CG-9 snow chains (pair) no. CG-9 030

Traditional snow chains
If clearance is limited behind the wheel these 9mm chains may be your only option, but they're a good option. CG chains have the following features:
  • an asymmetric diamond pattern to prevent the chain getting stuck in the tyre grooves and to improve lateral stability and, above all
  • Thule’s superb automatic chain tensioning system which constantly seeks to keep the chains as tight as possible and saves you the hassle of getting out of the car again after a hundred metres or so and retightening the chains. When you come to fit the chains at the bottom of the hill leading to a ski resort you’ll probably find several long lay-bys which are designed for "stopping again", but it’s not always so easy or convenient, especially in a blizzard!
