Amazon.com Product Description
The SCC Super Z6 SZ123 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 SZ123 is designed for tires sized from approximately 175 to 225 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.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic "Fit" on my Honda Fit   September 16, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Over the summer I got rid of my gas guzzler Ford Explorer and bought a 2008 Honda Fit sport model. Going from 14 mpg to 35+ mpg has been fantastic, but I worried about getting through the Pennsylvania winters. After doing some reading online, all fingers pointed to these chains. People in Ontario, Vermont, Wisconsin and other very snowy areas gave them two thumbs up on their Honda Fit.

Just like all the other reviews say, they are very easy to put on and take off (although you might get a bit dirty reaching into the wheel wells). To combat the dirt issue, they included a pair of long vinyl gloves (they come up close to your elbow). They aren't thick, more like disposable food service gloves, but they do the trick.

Update: We got a few inches of heavy snow today (October 28th) and I had a chance to drive around the neighborhood with the chains. They go on fairly easily even with snow, although I would suggest keeping a piece of rug or something to kneel on if you don't like getting wet and dirty. My traction was fantastic in the front, no problem getting up hills or anything, however I now see why everyone seems to recommend putting them on all four tires on a front wheel drive vehicle... the back tires would slide around when trying to stop or turn, and I would imagine that having the chains on them too would have ensured a solid grip like the front tires had. I will be purchasing a second set for my rear tires as soon as possible.

Bottom line: If you have a Honda Fit sport or similar compact car like a civic and need a low-profile tire chain that will fit, buy these!



5 out of 5 stars Great Chains for a Prius   March 9, 2007

I found these chains to be top floor quality at bargain basement price. Nicely packaged and easy to install.


4 out of 5 stars good design!   February 18, 2007
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I got these for my wife's car. What's nice about it is you don't have to drive over the cable to put them on. You just wrap it around the tire, hook up the breaks in the cable, and use the plastic clips to pull the cable toward the center of the tire. Pretty easy as long as you have the strength to do it. If my wife could put them on herself, I'd give this 5 stars.

Now that I got them, I hope I don't have to use them. But if it snows again, I'll be better prepared!



5 out of 5 stars strong cable chains for tires   January 12, 2007
 14 out of 14 found this review helpful

These are the ones you want to get for your personal safety and peace of mind. Easy to put on and off. You don't have to even move the car to put them on. I have a Toyota Prius and these are much better than what the dealer sold me, for not much more money. You get what you pay for. For me, the extra cost is worth it because these are heavy duty cables for low tire clearance cars and the ease of putting them on is important, especially if you are out in the snow, in a storm or such. You will not regret buying these cables. I returned the unused "dealer cables" back to the Toyota dealer and felt like saying to them "for shame"...(they were so chinsey)...but I was nice and didn't do that. I just told them the truth...that these cables were far superior. Thankx!
