Navigator/Diamond Back Chains - Passenger

Similar Story to few reviews already posted. Bought a cottage Central Ontario. Road in is hilly and winding as is the driveway. On a pre-purchase cottage inspection, front wheel drive vehicle with winter tires, vehicle tires lost grip and with brakes on and tires locked, began to slide backwards (on a steep but plowed driveway)...luckily only a couple of feet. Had to take a better run up and out. Decided chains will be required for winter visits. Fairly simple to install...tried in garage a couple of times. Once you get the hang of it they are quick and easy to install. Fit was perfect. Quick lesson for removal. Its easiest to remove them with the chains in the same orientation as installed.... with the blue-red hookup at the top of the tire. When taking the chains off, check the location of the hookup and roll the vehicle slightly to make sure the hookup is at the top of the tire. Makes for easier removal....

Dodge Dakota Quad Cab-2WD P235/75/15 Last Christmas, the entire family (family of 4, 3 and 5 year old) had a terrifying experience on a private Muskoka cottage road. The truck lost complete traction going up a hill where we became a 4000lb toboggan headed for a raven backwards, no matter what we did to control the truck. We all screamed as we all thought we were all going to die. Someone did die in the same location the summer before. Quite honestly, we dreaded the trip all year and thought it was silly to invest in a brand new 4wd. This past march break we went to the same area and ended up in the same road conditions on the private road. However, we had these chains this time, and wow..what a relief! We had 100% traction with no issues, as the 4wd's (with snow tires) at other cottages could not make it up the road of hard packed ice. The best part, they are so easy to take on and off, only taking 5-7 mins total, tops. The family actually does time trials for fun when I need to put them on. Canadianchains.ca sent the chains quickly, and our only complaint was the quality of the storage bag they came with. But the high quality of the chains themselves offset any dissatisfaction. We now recommend to all of our friends that access a cottage in the winter on these privately maintained cottage access roads, even if they have a 4wd.

We had some difficulty as the chains they sent did not fit. Without going into a lot of detail, Cheryl, customer service, was extremely helpful, as the chains had to be returned. I was given an account number which the local LOOMIS people accepted without any problems. All I had to do was get them to the warehouse here in Courtenay. Within a 'couple of days, another set arrived and they DID fit. For what it's worth, the chains were for a 2013 Hyundai Genesis R-spec 5.0.. the tire specs are: 235/45 R19. If I had anything "bad" to say, it would be the fact that the chains were wrong in the first place, that probably due to the fact that THEY get their chains from Oregon, so they, presumably, rely on the US store to get it right. All the Ladner site does is send them on without checking that they are the correct size. This is in NO WAY a deal breaker! The way I was treated was first class, and I consider this "event" a "one off" and would recommend this site to anyone without reservation!

Fantastic Tire Chains. This is my third set in 4 years; each winter I put 100's of kms on them. Sometimes a link'll snap, but with the provided repair links, getting moving again is easy. Putting these on my little Toyota Corolla, makes 'er in to a mountain goat!

Great product and great people to deal with. My chains were shipped and delivered in 3 days. Drove the van up to the mountains and I was able to get way farther than my previous trips without the chains, it felt like I was driving 4x4. Installingthe chains took less than 5 minutes and it was painless experience. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who lives in Canada. I think I paid 142 dollars for those chains, so even if you dont need them it's good idea to throw them in the back of ur car for emergency.

Had to use my tire chains the week I recieved them. Very easy to use and they work pretty well. For sure they worth the price I've paid for them!

I bought these exact chains 5 years ago. I live in a remote area where it snows heavily with icy conditions. I put these chains on in November and leave them on my car until April every winter. I finally broke one chain because my tire was low on one side and I didn't check the air pressure. As I was exiting my driveway in a foot of snow, I ended up spinning out and breaking the chain. Completely my own fault. After 5 years of use I could justify buying a new set. My bungees were also busted from - 40 temperatures. The new ones I bought recently are a better quality than the last ones and I think they'll be a bit more durable for the long run. These chains are easy to put on, I can slip them on in less than 5 minutes. Absolutely recommend these chains!

In preparation of travelling to Alberta i purchased your Diamond Back Chains. They were promptly shipped as they were received two days later as stated.Trial fit proved the fit was Excellent.I have not had to put the chains on as yet.Although there has been no need for thier use it is a comfort to know that i have a high quality set of chains if the need arises. They are super simple to install and remove and secure with ease.Im very happy with the purchase and customer service was very pleasant

Bought the Diamond back chains from canadianchains.com to fit my 2000 VW Jetta. Shipping was free and the chains arrived very quickly. The chains appear to be well made. Have only had the occasion to use them once so far, but they went on easily and performed well with great traction and no rubbing. I would definitely recommend both the Diamond Back chains and canadianchains.com to anyone in Canada looking to buy tire chains.

The traction is amazing, I cannot believe the slushy deep snow I got through, when I would have been buried otherwise. Very simple to put on, but still an ordeal when you invariably needed them, when nasty weather conditions are in full force. However, I could not live where I do without them, having them in the vehicle gives confidence...

I phoned my order in on a Monday morning and before noon on Tuesday they arrived… Less than 24 hours! Wow what great service. I also had several questions that I emailed to Canadian Chains and immediately received replies. I bought the chains for a trip to Whistler… But luckily I didn't have to use them. I did mount the chains on my car before the trip and they appear to be very good quality and are very easy to mount without moving the car or using a jack. Excellent value… Excellent service!

Have had to use them a handful of times on my Toyota Corolla. The road to my home is ony accessible using chains during the winter months. Easy to put on amd take off. They make the ittle Corolla feel like a tank as it scales the mountain road.

It didn't fit, so I returned them, still waiting for the credit .

Arrived quickly, correct size, quality looks good, easy to install, have not had a chance to try them out yet....

Great chains, easy to put on and store away, quick shipping with everything in-tact. much recommended thank you :)

Easy to put on, compact for easy storage. Nice little storage bag

All good. Arrived promptly and fit properly when I test fitted them. Easy to install and remove

Chains fit perfectly and came in 3 days

I have yet to use my chains in an actual winter conditions but live at the base of the Coquihalla Hwy. so will have my chance. I did check the fit and are great to put on and fit perfectly. I ordered my chains in the afternoon online and they were delivered the next morning.

Great service arriving 2 days after ordering. Would have been 5 stars but my 235/65-17 tires almost too large . Had to add enclosed extra link and unable to instal exactly as shown since not enough chain.
