Good solid tire chains
So these chains seem extremely durable and so far I'm very happy with the purchase. They're only easy to put on if you know what you're doing and you take the time to play with them at home long before your next trip on snowy/iced roads. DO NOT wait to put these on when you're already on your trip in the snow. Watch the video, read the instructions, and most importantly, be patient and take your time (at home when it's a nice warm day outside). And don't get in a hurry. The built in cams work great, but when you first have the chains on the tire, you'll need to get as much loose slack out of the chain as possible (this is where you'll need to put some muscle into it) before you tighten the cams. Some have reported that the cams don't tighten the chains enough. They will if you get as much of the loose slack as you can out of it. But if you're not physically strong enough to do that, have someone stronger do it, or you can always carry a few bungee cords with you or the spider tightener. That said, the cams themselves should do the job just fine on their own. Again, just get as much slack out as possible. When I first put them on, I was able to hook one link on the inside of the tire, and 2 on the outside. Once I played with it for about 15 mins, I was able to get 3 links of slack on the inner tire, and 4 links on the outside. (tired to get 4 on the inside, but couldn't). The chains were so tight, I could barely tighten the cams and that's what you want. Hope this helps.

Worked Perfectly!
*NOTE- these chains ARE NOT SAE-S (as instructed to be used in the 2015 F-150 Manual).I searched for hours on tire chains, and found a video from a northern state’s Highway Patrol installing a chain that looked just like this (they didn’t say the brand or source). But what I liked, was the built in tension disks. Other chains required bungees and straps, this didn’t.I bought this for my F-150’s 265/70R17 tires. It’s RWD, and after reading the manual and online sources, you only chain the tires that have drive.They arrived quickly, in a fabric bag. Installation is rather easy, even in the snow. But- I HIGHLY advise watching “how-to” videos. The tightening disks come with a “key” to tighten. And they fit perfectly snug! The only problem is there were a few extra links free hanging. Hindsight- you’ll want to cut the extra links off, otherwise they fly out and tap. We used yarn & carabiners to keep a fixed.We had no issues going up steep mountain roads in <4° temperatures with feet of snow and ice at Beech Mountain NC.After reading reviews of other products in this price range a lot of people were saying other chains were breaking or didn’t fit, rusted or didn’t have clearance. All I can say is do your research. Seriously. In icy conditions you, your families, and other lives are at stake so invest an hour and make sure you’re buying what fits your vehicle. With that, SO MANY products on Amazon that pop up when you type in your vehicle and/or tire size are wrong. Read the product number of the item being sold, then see if they have a chart in the photos and ensure it matches your tire.These will rust (steel+abrasion+road salt=rust), make sure to wash them and lightly oil them when done and store oiled.Pros- arrived quick, fit perfectly, easy to instal, provided great traction in some sketchy situations, worked great!Cons- sizing is not intuitive/listed by vendor (make it easier to verify), heavy! (30#), NOT SAE-S, if you’re not use to chains it’s a bumpy and loud ride lol.

Good Basic Tire Chains
Fits a P265 70R17 tire with a lot of room to spare.These chains are available with or without cams for tightening the chains. I purchased the style with cams. They are relatively easy to install, & the four cams work very well in tightening the chain. I found that after driving 20 feet or so, I could loosen the cams and then take up another link in the chains, and then retighten the cams.I did not buy the elastic tensioners, but I may do so in the future because even after tightening the chains as described above, the chains are still a little loose.Note that if you have close fitting fenders, then you may want to consider a different option. These are NOT Class S. However, on a typical full-size pickup with this size tire, that's not usually an issue. There is plenty of clearance on my F-150 4x4.

Chains that work and don't cost an arm and leg
I've had a set for years for my pickup. They have gotten me going many a winter. Last winter was deep here so we bought a set for the front. These are sturdy, unlike the ones with the self-tightening links. This is a well-made steel chain with no unneeded frills, and they are 30 bucks less than some models of the same thing.

Literally a life saver
So glad I bought these. Went elk hunting far into the backcountry and got caught in the middle of a snow storm and these chains were our saving grace! Very easy to put on and they work like a charm! Cams work great and they stay in place! The price is right and if you're lucky you can pick them up used for cheaper!

OK
I've used these three times on my 700+foot driveway without any problems.

Try it out at home
Chain links are good size/gauge.Make sure to try and fit at home before going on a trip. I use these for 245/75/16 tires and have to remove 8 links to fit, with an extra link for when I size up the tires.

Great quality, wrong size
Be careful of the size. I searched my size, these popped up but didn't fit. Returned.

Heavy Duty Stuff!
Wow!What more can I say?I was hoping to get something strong enough to do the job but this goes well beyond my expectations.These chains are tough and I have absolutely no worries about breaking a link.and they go on like a charm!I live in the mountains and these are a life saver!I was so impressed, I ordered a non-cam set as well.The cams are good but I think I would rather just throw on a bungee or two.Did I mention I got them way ahead of time?Thoroughly impressed and satisfied!Addendum 1:The general complaint about QC2228 being slightly too long for regular Dodge Ram 1500s is ludicrous.All you need to do is skip a few links (actually, 3, for standard 65-70-17 tires)If you really want to, you can fasten the remaining links to the main chain with a bungee or just leave them hanging.If the brake lines are clear and you drive slowly, you will hardly even notice they are on!Addendum 2:Like I said, pretty steep inclines of ice, NO PROBLEM!

Great product
These have worked very well for me in. Used many times in clay with no issues. Not sure I would recommend this pattern if you were driving on a side slope as the chains run perpendicular to the road, so there would be a great deal of traction on a side slope. You would want a X-patten type of chain from the same company.
