Amazon.com Product Description
The SCC Super Z6 SZ135 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 SZ135 is designed for tires sized from approximately 195 to 255 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.

fast and easy to install, only tried in the garage, did need to jack up the rear of car some, as there was not enough clearance to reach into fender to connect rear.


1 out of 5 stars Amazon's sizing guide is wrong   February 16, 2008

My tire size is 225/65-17. Amazon's size guide says to order SZ135. These chains are too small. Another vendor has an online size guide that says SZ143, which is larger. Since Amazon made me order the wrong size, I cannot guarantee that SZ143 is correct. But SZ135 is incorrect.


1 out of 5 stars 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.

This is third set of cable chains from SCC that I've owned. The first two were for my pickup and my wife's previous car. All of them have worked great on snow and ice. They are the easiest tire chains to install that I've ever had. I've learned how to install them without having to move the vehicle and still stay pretty clean.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for our Toyota Sienna   December 28, 2007

Finally forked over for these and wasn't disappointed on two trips up to Mount Hood this week. Handled beautifully in the snow. So happy we got these -- I think they may be the only chains recommended for Toyota Siennas, which have a very small amount of space between the tire and the wheel.

First-tire set-up took about 15 minutes, but each subsequent tire/installation was less than 1 minute. (Practice at home before you have to do it in the cold wet snow.)

Note: you'll be doing lots of tire-hugging to install these -- be sure to get a pair of thin, warm, waterproof gloves, which will help make installation in the cold just that much easier. Also can't hurt to have a mat to kneel on. And keep a flashlight handy for spotting the connecting-point in those otherwise dark, tight wheel wells.
