Super Z6 Cable Tire Chains Set of 2 for Low Clearance Trucks & SUVs

In this review of the Super Z6 cable tire chains paired with the Peerless Auto-Trac set, the bottom line is clear: this combination suits drivers of pickups, SUVs and passenger cars who need reliable winter traction in tight wheel wells. The reviewer found the Security Chain Super Z6 especially useful where sidewall clearance is minimal, and the Peerless Auto-Trac offers fast self-tightening and a smoother ride. Together they deliver consistent traction on packed snow and ice while fitting vehicles with restricted clearance.

Key Features

• Low clearance design: Super Z6 operates with only 6mm (1/4') of sidewall clearance so it fits vehicles with very limited space around the drive tires.
• Diagonal traction pattern: The Super Z6 diagonal pattern provides aggressive starting, stopping and cornering while remaining compatible with traction control systems.
• Durable traction coils: Alloy steel traction coils on the Super Z6 improve wear resistance compared with conventional cable chains for longer service life.
• Built-in rubber tightener: Super Z6 includes a designed-in rubber tightener so there is no need to stop and retighten after installation.
• Self-tightening ratchets: Peerless Auto-Trac chains feature worry-free self-tightening ratchets that provide automatic tightening and centering during use.
• Diamond pattern cross chain: The Peerless diamond pattern cross chain smooths the ride while giving superior traction on packed snow.

Who It's For

This product pair is best for owners of pickups, SUVs and passenger cars that have limited operating clearance around the drive tires and still need dependable winter traction. It is a good choice for drivers who want a solution that installs quickly, stays tight in use, and works with electronic traction control systems.

Drivers who frequently need high-speed winter driving or off-road snow recovery should look elsewhere; Peerless states these chains should not exceed 30 mph and they are intended for traction in snow and ice rather than sustained highway use. Also check fit carefully if your tires are aged, a nonstandard tread, or from a manufacturer known to vary sizing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very low clearance requirement of 6mm (1/4') allows fitment on tight wheel wells.
• Fast, easy installation with no need to move the vehicle for fitting and quick removal when conditions improve.
• Self-tightening and built-in tighteners mean the chains stay centered and secure during use.
• Durable alloy traction coils and diamond cross chains provide reliable traction on packed snow and ice.

Cons

• Fit can be affected by tire age, manufacturer and tread type, and some customers report mixed experiences with removal and fit.
• Not for speeds above 30 mph and not intended for prolonged highway use.
