Anyone try these tire chains?
I ran across some tire chains made for vehicles with little space between the inside of the tire and the suspension parts...they are advertised to work with as little as 1/4 inch clearance. They are SCC Super Z6 chains. Anyone tryed them on an HHR?

As hyper said, be careful! If you use something like this on any vehicle, if you hear them break, STOP immediately and remove the chains from both sides. The broken side will tear your wheel well to shreds, and front wheel drive just won't take the strain of running on one side only. Over the years we tore out many a wheel well on our fire appratus with broken chains. If we were responding to a fire, we worried about damage later.

GM used to require space on all their cars for chains but that left large gaps between the tires and wheel wells.
A few years back that order was deleted and the gaps wee closed for styling.
So very few people use changes anymore and if they do they are often on 4X4 SUV's and trucks.

reminds me of back in the 60's they use to joke about how to tell a (certain European person) since he put snow tires on the front of his rear wheel drive car. That was when the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado was the first American front wheel drive car and looked weird with snow on the front when the rest of us had big knobby snows on the rear.
