Thule k-summit Tire Chains
Thule K-summit tyre chains
There is quite a large selection of accessories out there to help us get through the winter months safely and securely and keeping us moving when our weather turns against us. I like the Thule K-summit range for its innovation and ease of use.
For some of us it may be a way of life every winter, for others it can just be an occasional nuisance but no less a risk to life and limb as a result. In some cases the rarer the bad weather is then the more of a short term problem it can be. In many areas it is simply not economically practical to maintain a big fleet of ploughs and gritters to keep roads open when there may be only a few days of snow in any one year.
Specialist winter tires are the obvious solution if snow and ice is guaranteed but if it is more occasional then snow chains may be a better solution. These are not always as easy to fit as we would like however, particularly with cold fingers when fiddly links may be particularly stubborn. However if a journey involves treated and non treated surfaces then an ability to remove and refit easily is essential if damage to the tire or road surface is to be avoided.
This is where I believe that the Thule K Summit system is a winner.
1) A range that accommodates almost any tire, from low profile high performance to SUV
2) 0 mm behind the tire so no danger of fouling components
3) Quick efficient fitting and removal with no fiddly links and a single action tensioner which makes the chain self adjusting.
4) Strong, high quality components for long lasting durability.
5) Pack away into a handy carrying bag for convenience when not in use.
I am very impressed by all the Thule range, but particularly the Thule K-summit snow chains. They are readily available at major motor stores or online at many outlets.
