No need for the zip ties crossing over the rim - best part is that is they work even if you don't have disc brakes. I used a heavier gauge, mashed-link chain - maybe it's overkill but it will hold up a long time because the links are welded. They work great for rear wheel traction but the front it still a little unstable, especially in the turns. I don't know if that can ever be overcome completely. Ride safe! Sam Janesville, Calif.

While turning, I had to go slow enough to ensure the front tire didn’t slip from under me. The tire chains helped quite a bit. It felt like the tires grabbed the road a bit more than not having them in place. I didn’t experience any tire damage at all. Having tire chains this winter for less than $14 isn’t a bad deal at all.
