Title: Not as good as advertised
Product review: I live at the bottom of a steep hill and bought a pair of these hoping that they would help me climb the hill in snowy conditions. In fact, quite the opposite occurred. Once the springs which coil around the "Z" links bit down through the snow and onto the pavement, they seemed to act like little roller skates on my tires. I was not able to climb the hill at all. I removed the chains and was immediately able to crawl up the hill with nothing but my all-season tires. These may work on flat surfaces, but i did not notice any increased traction for climbing - in fact they made things much worse. I think I'll go back to good old fashioned diamond-pattern chains.I do have to admit that these are extremely easy to put on. It only took me about 2 minutes per tire, and they give a nice tight fit. Perhaps they work well in most conditions, but certainly not on my hill.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
