Colin: Hey everyone, it's Colin here at etrailer, and today we're going to take a look at Konig's line of XG12 pro self-tensioning snow tire chains. These come in a variety of sizes to fit your tire, so just make sure you enter your year, make model of vehicle in our fit guide and it'll guide you to the size that's going to correctly fit your tire.Now, if you live in an area where you're going to be frequently experiencing inclement weather, it's always a good idea to keep a set of chains inside your vehicle and just in case you find yourself in an emergency situation. What's great about our Konig XG12 pros is that these are going to give you great traction through snow and ice. They're going to be very easy to install and they have their own self-tensioning system.A lot of times for those ladder pattern chains or cable style chains, you have to get a rubber adjuster separately and you have to get one for each set of chains and they have to put that on just to make sure they stay snug on your tire. Not the case with our Konig chains right here. They have a built in right here with their color coded system.
This is going to help keep your chains snug against your tire while they're installed. What's great about our self-tensioning system is that it's built into the tire chain, so you don't have to worry about storing them separately. It's always going to be attached to the chain when you install them.If you have the ladder pattern chains with the rubber adjuster, you do run that risk of misplacing your rubber adjuster. If you have to go out and get your chains and then put them on your tire and you don't have your rubber adjuster, then it's not going to be snug against your tire, which could cause a lot of clinking around.Konig is well known for making a high quality chain. These have a manganese nickel alloy steel construction, and basically what that means is that they're going to be very tough and durable.
They're going to give you the traction that you need. They're going to resist rust and corrosion and hold up for a long time. Now, Konig designed these chains with a diamond pattern that's just going to give you more coverage around your tire and thus give you much better traction. Now, another thing it's going to do for you is it's going to give you a smoother ride. With those ladder pattern style chains, basically it just feels like you're going over a lot of little speed bumps.
Now, I want to point out you're still going to feel the diamond pattern chains on your tire while you're driving, but it's going to be a much smoother ride.We are going to have these double sided D shaped links. These are going to really dig into that snow and ice and give you the bite that you need to be able to pull through and stay on track. We're also going to have two steel plates on each set right here all throughout the tire, their position on the center of our tread. That's also going to help provide great traction. For any of that thicker ice that you might come across where the D shaped links can't get through, this is going to be there to break that up and give you traction.Now, no matter what set of chains you get, you do want to make sure you put them on the correct side of your vehicle.
If you have a rear wheel drive vehicle which will be more most trucks and SUVs, you're going to want to put them on the back tires. If you have a front wheel drive vehicle, which you'll find most sedans and a lot of crossover SUV have, then you're going to want to put them on the front tires. Now, if you have all wheel drive or four wheel drive and you want to have a set of tires, a set of chains for both tires, then just use the same partner that you got for your size tire.With your set of chains, you are going to get a bag full of these anti-scratch nylon bumpers. Right now is not really relevant to even put them on our chain. What they're for is if your chain happens to make contact with your wheel down here. If you have a taller wheel and a skinnier tire and the chain is rubbing up against him, then you're going to want to install these along the chain right here to make sure it doesn't scratch them up. It's very easy to install. We got one side with the stud, one side right here, just press it down until it clicks. Once you do that along the entire perimeter of the chain and it's going to make sure it doesn't harm or scratch the finish of your wheels.The chains are also going to be compatible with your ABS and traction control systems, so you won't have to worry about the chains messing those up while you're driving. The chains aren't going to have a maximum speed rating
