Hey folks,

Just saw this on Costco.com. Looked like a pain to put on, but interesting nontheless. Any thoughts or know anyone who has used these?

Gave them a try in Vt. last year. Went up to Sugarbush north, in a snow storm. I was driveing the Trooper4X4. Had a hill to the lodge that had about 5" of new snow on it. Put on the Claws, went on EASY. Stayed at the lower parking area and walked up. They did not help at all. One of the other Trooper owners gave me some Cable Chains to try out. So out the door, down the hill, remove the Snow claws and put on the Cables. It had added another inch or 2 by this time. Still unplowed and fluffy powder. Went up the hill like I was on dry pavement.

How they work in heavy wet snow, Don't know.
