Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Thule CS-10 080 Snow Chains Comment: I have not tried them in snow yet but the design/construction/mounting is very clever. I think they will work well enough but they are VERY light weight and pack up into a container that couldn't hold 2 Frisbees. The light weight and compact size is probably a desirable feature for most customers.
The description says they are made from hardened Manganese Nickel Alloy Steel. Umm... more Manganese than Steel. I would be concerned about running them on bare pavement for any length of time but, then again, that's not what they were designed for. Perhaps they will wear like iron.
The only reason that I would not give this product a full 5 stars is the price. They list at $179 and Amazon discounts them to $129. Nevertheless, you can buy conventional snow chains for less than half that.
