Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2

Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2 Review

Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2 Feature

• Convenient, clean alternative to snow chains and studded tires
• Designed for vehicles with standard sized tires driving in less the 6" of snow on standard grades and inclines

The Spikes-Spider Compact Series Winter Traction Aid is an exceptionally easy-to-use traction device that makes studded tires and snow chains obsolete. Sold as a set, the Compact Style package contains two multi-armed traction aids (elements), embedded with tungsten studs, that install and can be removed from tires literally in 1-2 minutes, all without having to reach into your car's wheel wells or drive over traction devices laid out in the snow or ice. Additional features include: wear resistant polymer materials, a maximum recommended speed of 30 MPH with traction elements installed and a rugged carrying case for all series components included.

Innovation in Tire Traction

Spikes-Spider traction elements are an innovative alternative to old-fashioned snow chains and studded tires for use on ice and snow up to 5"-6" deep. The Compact version of the Spikes-Spider comes in a set of two, attaching to each of your drive wheels and has eight -- or nine (depending on the size) -- traction arms constructed of permanently elastic, wear resistant polymer materials, surrounding a central hub made up of those same materials. This hub in turn attaches, via a hand-turned locking ring, to a heavy duty steel hub semi-permanently attached to your car's tire. Each arm has multiple tungsten carbide studs embedded in their traction surface, which sit just below the outer edge of the treads of your tires - but only in direct contact with them at the point of contact with the road. This allows the arms of the Spikes-Spider Compact element to provide maximum traction in icy, snowy and every muddy road situations without affecting the tread of your tires.

Flexible tire traction arms allow for installation and removal in minutes.

The Easy, Fast and Clean Traction Solution

In addition to its superior traction abilities, the Spikes-Spider Compact element also is a valuable tool simply by means of its extreme ease of use when compared with traction tires and chains. Virtually anyone can install or remove the Spikes-Spider, in any weather or terrain condition, in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Again, the secret is its multiple flexible traction arms. Adjustable to the right or left, and only installing along the outer edge of your tires, the arms of the Spikes-Spider Compact element closest to the ground are easily parted as you attach the device's hub to your tire. This allows you to avoid the wet, dirty, cold job of aligning a traction device to the bottom of tires, familiar to anyone who has chained up their car along the side of an icy or snowy road. All that you need to do with Spikes-Spider Compact elements is to slip it over your tires and quickly snap them into place with the locking ring. The traction elements that you adjusted will realign themselves naturally, leaving you ready to roll in seconds. Removing Spikes-Spider Compact elements is just as quick and easy by removing the lock ring, pulling the element partially off and driving your car a few feet to free the traction arms of the elements from under your tires.

The traction arms can be moved slightly to avoid the ground to put them on quickly and easily, once the steel hubs have been installed on two drive wheels.

Each size Compact style has a Small "S" and Large "L" adjustment using a cam that is easy to turn. Appropriate for use on moderate grades and slopes.

Superior Engineering and Design
Thule snow chains are hand-made in Italy and are constructed of durable, hardened manganese nickel alloy steel. They feature dual-sided D-shaped links that provide exceptional traction and extend the life of the product. These snow chains utilize a patented self-centering and auto-tensioning system which adjusts itself for a perfect fit. Once the chains are wrapped around the tire, the installation process is completed when the vehicle is set in motion. As the wheels turn, the self-centering and auto-tensioning system activates and the chain tightens around the tire. This eliminates the need to exit your vehicle and brave the elements to re-adjust snow chains. For easier installation in the dark or during the day, all attachment points on the chains are color coded. Additionally, each set of Thule tire chains comes with a hard case, installation mat, pair of gloves, and spare links.

How to Choose a Snow Chain that Fits Perfectly
To choose the right snow chain you must follow a few simple criteria. First, check your vehicle’s maintenance or owner’s manual to verify it contains no warnings advising against the fitting of snow chains on your particular vehicle. Once verified, take careful note of the three measurements on the side of the tire. The first number indicates the width, the second gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width) and the third denotes the diameter of the wheel expressed in inches. Then click on the Thule Snow Chain Fitment Guide to choose the most suitable model and size for your vehicle.
Thule is proud to introduce their new line of innovative snow chains which are hand-made in Italy. The high-quality 16mm XB16 is a great way to get Itallian made quality chains for a great price. These chains are safe for ABS/ESP systems.
