SCC Peerless Auto-Trac tire traction chains for Light Truck & SUV — Set of 2, self-tightening, diamond-pattern

SCC Peerless Auto-Trac 0232605 is a self-tightening tire chain set engineered for light trucks and SUVs, installing quickly without jacking and automatically tensioning while you drive.

If you need dependable winter traction without bulky hardware or time-consuming setup, these Auto-Trac cable chains deliver a compact, easy-to-fit solution. The system uses patented ratcheting self-tighteners and manganese-alloy D-section cross members for improved grip, reduced vibration, and longer wear compared with conventional chains. Auto-Trac is designed to meet Class “S” clearance on many SUVs and pickup trucks while remaining compatible with most passenger cars that accept Z-style cables.

How do these chains install and tighten without moving my vehicle?

Installation is simplified: fit the chain over the tire, connect the inside cable, attach the two outside self-tighteners and drive a short distance. The ratcheting mechanism takes up slack automatically, centering and tightening the chain as you move, so you don’t have to jack the vehicle or repeatedly re-adjust tensioners.

• Connect inside cable, clip outside self-tighteners
• Drive slowly to activate the ratchet tensioning
• No separate tensioning devices required or recommended
• Designed for quick removal after use

What traction and ride characteristics can I expect?

Auto-Trac uses diamond-pattern cross chains and low-mass D-section manganese alloy links to balance traction and comfort. The diamond layout provides multiple biting edges for snow and ice, while the narrow, low-mass links reduce road impact and vibration for a smoother ride compared with heavier cross members.

• Diamond cross chain for multi-directional bite and stability
• Manganese alloy links for increased durability and lighter mass
• Reduced fly-off risk thanks to shorter, narrower cross members
• Smoother ride with improved surface contact and less impact noise

Which vehicles and tire setups are compatible with the SCC Auto-Trac 0232605?

The Peerless 0232605 is intended for light trucks, SUVs and many passenger cars that allow Class “S” or Z-style cable chains. Fitment depends on tire age, manufacturer, size and tread type, so test-fit the chains before encountering winter conditions to confirm clearance and compatibility.

• Meets Class “S” clearance on many SUVs and pickups
• Works with most passenger cars that accept Z-style cable chains
• Fitment may vary by tire brand, size and tread pattern
• Always perform a trial fit prior to road use

Are there speed or maintenance guidelines I should follow?

Keep speeds below 30 MPH when driving with these chains installed for safety and to avoid premature wear. After use, inspect links and ratchets for damage, remove debris, and store chains dry. Proper installation and attentive maintenance will extend service life and performance.

• Maximum recommended speed: 30 MPH
• Check for wear or damaged links after each use
• Clean, dry, and store chains to prevent corrosion
• Refit and test before heading into severe winter conditions

Who this is for: Drivers of light trucks, SUVs and compatible passenger cars who want a compact, fast-to-install traction solution that tightens itself while driving. Choose SCC Peerless Auto-Trac 0232605 if you value minimal setup time, a smoother ride than heavy steel chains, and a patented ratcheting system that keeps chains centered and tensioned in changing winter road conditions.
