I got these for 4.80-8 tires on my Craftsman 8hp snowblower. The knobby tires have about 1/2"-3/4" deep tread on them, which 'looks' beefy, but they were slipping on slushy/icy snow. These chains fit the tires perfectly, but are completely useless since the chain is not thick enough to stand proud of the treads (the chain sits between the treads). During installation, when using pliers to lock one of the links (per the directions), the hook portion that secures the ends of the chains snapped off. I was able to use some visegrips to 'make' a new hook and complete the installation, but certainly would have preferred not to have had that trouble. If you don't have deep-treaded knobby tires, these will probably do the trick for you. Just be careful on the installation.

I bought them for my 20 HP lawnmower. The last time I paid $94, but those chains were heavier and easier to put on. The area that I mow is steep and rough, about five acres. Chains give the needed traction and are a necessary safety item. With chains, I can mow even when its wet – saves the turf from spins.

These chains were a little frustrating to put on. Where the cross links connect to the main chain, they sort of bind and sort of kink, but I got them on in about 25 minutes. Chains are always pain to put on especially if you haven’t done it before; but you get them on. These had no instructions.

Because they are lighter (the wire the chains are made out of is smaller) they do not dig as deep and, on rare occasions, they have slipped, but just a bit, as compared the heavier $94 chains on my other lawnmower. I doubt they will ever break or wear out.

Once I got they kinks straightened, out they were an excellent fit for my 20x8x8 tires. So I’m pleased.
