Amazon.com Product Description
The SCC Super Z6 SZ139 winter traction product offers superior performance for cars, pickups, and SUVs with very limited operating clearance around the drive tires. Be ready for winter driving with an innovative solution that is a step beyond traditional tire chains. New Design
Based on the "Z" family of products, the Super Z6 is designed for vehicles with restricted clearance around the drive tires. The Super Z6 requires only 6.33 millimeters (.25 inches) of sidewall clearance to operate, less than half the space required by most cable and tire chains. 
The Super Z6 installs quickly and easily. View installation guide. | 
Be prepared for driving this winter with Super Z6 traction systems. | A diagonal crossmember pattern provides better outstanding traction and durability than conventional chain systems. Easy to Install
A split outside cable with two fastening positions allows for easy installation without moving the vehicle, so there's no need to stop and retighten. The traction coils are manufactured from alloy steel to increase the lifespan of the product. The Super Z6 is also designed to prevent scratching of alloy or high performance tire rims. Versatility
The Super Z6 is available to fit passenger cars, pickups, and SUV tire sizes. It offers a unique combination of performance and convenience features for every user, including a "designed-in" rubber tightener, better all-around traction performance than conventional tire chains or cables, and greater durability. Designed for High Performance
The Super Z6 has better compatibility with anti-lock brakes, traction control, all-wheel drive, and other electronically monitored control systems so as not to interfere with the normal handling characteristics of your vehicle. The unique design also offers a low potential for damage to vehicle body and mechanical components, even when abused. The Super Z6 SZ139 is designed for tires sized from approximately 195 to 335 millimeters. Check the manufacturer's website for the exact product to fit your tire size. Also check your owner's manual for clearance specifications before installing winter traction products. What's in the Box
Chains, plastic gloves, one pair of rubber tensioners, durable, re-usable nylon bag, and clear, illustrated step-by-step installation and removal instructions.

got them fast.....and they fit February 7, 2008

After considerable research I ordered a pair of these from Amazon. They arrived very quickly. As recommended, I tried them on my 07 Chevy Impala prior to stowing them in the trunk. They are the "easiest to install" snow chains/cables I have ever used...and I have used a bunch of them. They are also easy to remove. We'll see how well they perform when I get caught in a snowstorm. Be sure to put a good pair of gloves in the handy carrying bag...the plastic pair provided are a joke.
 BUYER BEWARE: Bad product, incompetent manufacturer January 28, 2008

I bought the chains from Amazon and decided to try them on before I leave on my ski trip. Thanks God I did, because the chains didn't fit. I'm glad I didn't discover this on the road when I actually needed them.
Before I ordered, I checked what the correct size for my tires (205/50-17) is. I checked both the manufacturer's web site and the guide on Amazon's web site and ordered the recommended SZ127 model. Amazon sent me the correct chains, my tire's size was listed on chain's bag, everything was perfect but the chains were too small and they didn't fit. They were not even close to the correct size - maybe close to half the size of my tires.
If the company cannot get the most basic thing for tire chains right I highly doubt they are competent of creating a quality product. I would have given zero stars but Amazon doesn't let me.

First off, I don't know jack about tire chains. I live where there isn't any snow and would like to keep it that way. The only time I've driven in snow has been with a 4x4 truck over short distances.
That said, we've got a minivan now and are heading up to the mountains. In the great state of California, you are required to carry chains if you are going anywhere it might snow.
Our Toyota Sienna XLE has 17" wheels and 60 series tires (on a minivan? OK, now it's cool because it has 17" alloys... Oh please!) Anyway I was very concerned about the 60 series tires not having enough rubber for the chains to fit without scratching up the wheels. In addition there is only about a thumbs-width between the tire and the strut (using calipers, I determined that my thumb is 0.723" thick). These are brand new tires so this is probably worst-case. Also, this van has traction control, stability control and ABS which can all be confused by tire chains that slip and grab.
I test fit these and they exceeded my expectations. They are easy to install (I used the instructions, but I'm just that way). They don't come anywhere near scratching the wheels and they clear suspension with no problems. I don't look forward to installing them in the snow and cold, but if it comes to that I feel these will do a good job. The diagonal pattern should do a good job of maintaining relatively consistent traction so the electronics (ABS etc.) don't get confused. Construction looked robust and consistent. On top of all that, the bag was smaller than I expected and I was able to get everything back in after my test-fit.
Hopefully these and the spare tire will never be used, but they'll both be there if needed.

After a lot of online searching and review reading, I decided on these chains for our new 2007 BMW X3. They fit perfectly, and work just as well. Very high quality product and packaging. I would recommend these to any BMW X3 owners.
Awesome Product January 16, 2007

Bought these for my rear-wheel drive Dodge Magnum here in Portland Ory-gun. Stock tires are not setup for snow and rear-wheel drive is a bit trickier in slick conditions with a lot of horses under the hood. So I bought these chains "just in case." Today we had a snowstorm, cars slipping and sliding all over and I wanted to get home. Put on these chains, bit of a struggle to get them all locked in place, and headed out. No problems at all. Passed a lot of cars stuck against curbs or unable to move. The last dragon I had to slay was the big steep hill to the house. Pointed the car up and just kept it pointed straight. Right up with no troubles, maybe a little bit of micro-fish tailing, but the grip these chains gave me worked like a champ. One hint that I discovered, buy a set of gloves to store in the bag with the chains, I did not have any with me and had to hop in the car a few times to get my fingers warmed back up. The little plastic ones they put in there are worthless against cold and snow while you are hooking the chains up.
