Installation is a bit tricky and I wouldn't advise doing it in the snow, but I found that once I got the cords over the tire and the front tightened all the way and the inside hanging on by the first tab, if I drove forward about a foot, I could more easily reach the inside fastener from the back and tighten it the rest of the way.

Putting it on was a hassle but doable. Took about 20minutes.
There was about 5 inches of snow along with slush, I drive a 2017 Mustang, these chains did help. It was very weird because at the time of purchase, amazon said these chains were compatible with my car, but a week later Amazon no longer stated this....instead stating “these product is not compatible with your Ford Mustang. Taking off the chains was hell. Took about an hour and it got tangled with the rotor.
This should be obvious but do NOT use the chains if there is no snow. It provides your wheels with zero traction on the street which will eventually break the chains or slice your tires.
Also cost the chains in oil the second your take them off. I left mine on the ground at about 9pm after a long day of work and the next afternoon (3pm) there was already rust forming so I threw them out.
Would I get chains again? Nope, I’ll get winter tires.
Do I recommend them? Ehhh if that’s your thing and you don’t want to spend much. They were OKAY
On the day of my trip up to the Big Bear Mountains (12/26/2019), we faced the following problems.
1. The installation was not as easy as it was described. To be more accurate with my review, I drive a 5-series BMW which is a rear-wheel drive, so I had to place my chains in the rear wheels, which does not rotate left or right, unlike the front wheels. Even considering this added difficulty, the installation process not easy. the securing wires that go inside the car were extremely difficult to reach and hard to tighten.
2. The yellow securing clip was not secure enough. It popped the wire out in the middle of the driving and ended up scratching my car because of hanging chain wire.
3. The chain itself is not tight enough after securing it to the inner-most holding of the wire. The wheels kept sliding without a grip and the car would not move because the chain is not tight enough. I had to purchase an extra set of chain tighteners ON SPOT at the chain check-point for another $20 to actually get the car rolling. It was only after I put on the extra set of chain tighteners that the car started rolling.
4. Last, but not least, this set of chains BROKE APART after the first use. This is the first and the last trip that this chain lasted. I had to replace the chains because it was broken during its use (note: I never touched the chains after installation until this point. Who does?). To think about the chain breaking after the first use raises concerns for its sturdiness and reliability. I feel like my money has been wasted on a poorly made product.
Only used them once so far in heavy snow and worked as expected.
