## Overview

The SCC Peerless 0231805 Auto-Trac Tire Traction Chain set offers the fastest, easiest installation with a patented ratcheting system that tightens while driving. Made from durable manganese alloy steel, these chains fit a broad range of SUV and light truck tires, providing superior grip, quieter operation, and a smoother ride. Ideal for professionals and winter warriors alike, they meet strict clearance standards and have earned top rankings for performance and reliability.

## Description

Auto‑Trac Can Be Installed Without Moving (Or Jacking Up) The Vehicle! The Patented, Ratcheting Tightening System Automatically Tightens The Chain While Driving. Just Connect The Inside Cable, Attach The Two Outside Selftighteners And Drive! No Additional Chain Tensioners Are Necessary Or Recommended. Auto‑Trac Will Meet Class “S” Clearance Requirements On Suvs And Pickup Trucks, As Well As Normal Passenger Cars (Matching The Capabilities Of Most Of Our “Z” Cable Products). This Is Possible Because Of A Highly Effective, Patented Tensioning System. Auto‑Trac Cross Member Links Are Made Of Manganese Alloy Steel, Allowing Them To Be Shorter, Narrower And Lighter Than Conventional Cross Members. This Reduces “Fly‑Off” During Operation And Provides More Gripping Points. The Low‑Mass “D” Cross Section Of The Links Also Contributes To Longer Wear Because The Impact Of The Cross Members On The Road Surface Is Reduced And The Surface Area Contacting The Road Is Increased.

Review: Quick to put on, looks to work well - How long does it really take to put on, is the question i always have. Since many people even with chains will not put them on due to how big of a pain it is to put on and take off. So i test fitted mine in my packed snow driveway during the day when temps werent too horrible. The design seems good to make it easier and faster to put on. So I pulled the chains out, read the instructions. And then started the timer, without practicing. 3 minutes to get the first one on, 2 minutes to get the second one on. The instructions are water proof and somewhat tear proof, but not sturdy enough to kneal on to put the chains on. If the instructions were sewed into a small tarp like they do for tent instructions it would be more useful. Even with small piece of cardboard, i got my knees wet moving from side to side to pull the chains behind the tire initially. I recommend throwing a cheap set of work gloves in the storage sack so they will be there when you need them. Not sure if a small harbor freight tarp would fit in the bag with the chains, but you might get lucky if your careful and keep your knees dry that way. Taking them off took longer because i didnt read the instructions first. At least for me, you need to look underneath to see where the back connector is and you want it somewhat towards the top when you go to take them off. Also since you went around corners when using them, they wont be aligned with each other when you go to take them off, so you may have to move a bit to get the back connector to the top for one wheel then move a little bit again to get the other one. Other than the time needed to position the truck initially and then drive off them with done, its very quick to come off. Like 20 seconds. Since i didnt need them for a few days after so i took them in the house to melt and dry off before i packed them up again. You might consider laying them in the trunk or floorboads for the same reason if you have room, before repacking. I needed a set of chains for when i plow my driveway, and for standby use occasionally when I go into the mountains. These seem to be well reviewed and easier than traditional chains to put on. I recommend that you try putting them on once before you need them to have the practice and to make sure they will fit. Looking at how they cut into the packed snow in my driveway they appear to work well. I was tempted to get a set of the fabric chain alternatives as they are so much lighter and easier to store and even faster to put on. And if i was only plowing the driveway they would probably be okay for that since its limited use. But i think if you ever had to put them on to go over the mountains on i70 the fabric ones wouldnt last a trip as you went from snow and ice to clear and then back again. Of course if you have to use chains on a freeway that has bare spots, they will wear out quickly too (and cause much more damage if they break. But i think they would last longer than the fabric ones.
Review: Make sure you get the right size - I needed new chains for my plow truck and researched a lot before finally deciding on these. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with stock 245/75R16 tires. I read all of the reviews and ordered with a little bit of apprehension about them fitting. These things tend to have one of two reviews, either people 1) Love them or 2) hate them because they don't fit. I ordered them in hopes of falling in category one. When they arrived I intended on trying them out before I needed them but never got around to it. Then one day, late at night we were coming back from snowboarding and it had been a particularly snowy cold day and we couldn't make it up our driveway. My driveway is about 130 yards long and somewhat steep. The cold snap a few weeks ago had frozen the ground to where the freezing rain made the driveway like an ice skating rink. My wife was driving and got almost to the top then slid most of the way back down. She has a 2000 Suburban with the same size tires so i hopped out and walked up to the house, eager to try out my new chains. 1/2 hour later while I am slipping on the ice, laying in the snow, and using lots of colorful words I finally get the chains on. I am frustrated because I can tell that they should be easy to put on, but mine seem to be just a hair to small. The cable in the ratchet is about 1.5 inches too short. I have to manually get the chains as tight as they will possibly go then pull as hard as I can to get them to latch. Once I finally got them on, she drove up the driveway and parked in the garage. I had to then take the chains off, and go through the whole ordeal again as I fought to get them on my plow truck so i could clear off the driveway and road. They did not go on any easier the second time, and my words got even more colorful. Once I was done plowing I came inside and logged onto Peerless' website thinking I must have done something wrong. The card on the chains listed my tire size as compatible with these chains so I assumed I had the right size. I watched the promotional video on the website and to my chagrin there was a dainty lady who is driving in snowy conditions and hops out, installs these in seconds barely getting any snow on her hands and gets back in her car with a big smile and drives off happily into the snowstorm! My wife started poking fun at me saying maybe she should have put them on because obviously women were better at it. I immediately wrote an email to customer service explaining what happened and asking what I did wrong. It took a week but I finally received an email back asking for my address. Next thing I know they sent me a pair of the next size up: 0232105. No charge, no questions, just a note saying let us know if these fit. Interestingly, these chains also listed my tire size as compatible. Putting these new ones on is amazing, just like the lady in the video. They go on quick and easy, they stay tight and centered and come off quick and easy. Not only that, they grip better than any other chains I have used, they ride better and are quieter than any other chains. I am seriously considering buying a second pair for my wife to keep in her Suburban - I have never been so pleased with chains before. I have only used them for a few weeks and cannot speak to long term reliability, but I use them a lot. I have to plow my driveway and a couple miles of private road whenever it snows so if they give out on me I will be sure to update my review, but as for now I would recommend to anyone that needs chains to get these. I have used a lot of chains and these are by far the best in all categories: ease of install/removal, ride, grip, and noise. But be warned, make sure you get the right size! And you might want to check the fit when you get them, don't go by the card that lists compatible tire sizes. EDIT 09 March 2014: So I have been using these for a couple months and I still love them. It looks like the winter is coming to an end and I will be putting my plow truck away soon. The chains worked great for plowing and getting up my driveway on slick days. I used them a couple of other times as well, like when I came across a girl who had slid off the road and needed to be pulled back out. The chains gave me the traction I needed to be able to pull her out. I even had a friend of mine call me out of the blue to ask for recommendations on chains, he needed a new set and knew I had to plow a grade and wanted to know what I used and if I liked them. He hauls firewood for a living during the winter and needed chains to get in and out of the woods with. I told him to get a set of these and told him the same shining review I gave here. The only time these chains let me down was once when I got stuck in my plow truck. During the constant forward-reverse cycles as I was working my way out one of the chains came off. It was a bummer but at least it didn't wrap itself around my axle (like the older style chains used to do) it just came off and laid on the ground. Alas, when I needed it most it wasn't there. But with one chain on my plow truck and another set on my suburban we eventually pulled the truck out. All-in-all I am very satisfied with these chains, they are quieter than most, have a smoother ride than most and go on and off very easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Chains for Winter Driving
*by P***Y on January 21, 2026*

The Chains are a solid choice for light trucks and SUVs. Installation is straightforward thanks to the self-tightening ratchets, which save time compared to traditional chains. They provide excellent traction on snow and ice, making winter driving much safer. One thing to note: while they work great for occasional use, they can be a bit noisy on bare pavement, and the price is slightly higher than basic chains. Still, the convenience and performance make them worth it if you value safety and ease of use.
