Speaker: Today were working with a 2008 Subaru Legacy GT. It has 215 by 45 by 17 tires and
were going to be test fitting the Pewag Sportmatik Self-Tensioning snow tire chains, part number
pwsmx69. Once weve taken the chain out of the box we need to prep it for fitting onto
our tire. Be sure to check the owners manual of your vehicle for further instructions about
tire chains. We need to take the socket and separate it according to the direction of
the arrow stickers. Next we need to take the two tensioners on the chain, toggle them into
the open position and pull the slack all the way out of the tensioner.
Then we need to flip the toggle over to the hold position to hold our tensioner open while
we fit the chain around our tire. Next well lay the chain out to our tire. We're going
to pass the coated cable side around the inboard side of our tire. We want to make sure that
the claw end is on the left hand side of the tire as we face it and the socket end is on
the right hand side as we face the tire. Well pull them up, connect the hook and socket
together, and make sure we secure it with the closing latch.
