Z Performance for light and medium trucks with very limited operating clearance around the drive tires.
Super Z8® is our newest patented winter traction product. Based on our Super Z6® design, it can operate in about half of the space required by most cable chains and tire chains. To be more precise, it requires only about 8mm (5/16″) of operating space in the critical inside sidewall area of the tire (typical Class “S” products require 15mm).
Super Z8® is the only steel traction product that can operate on many new, larger SUV tires and small to medium-sized commercial vehicles with drive tire clearances as low as 8 mm (5/16")!
Best for on-road, steep grades, deep or packed snow and icy roads. The most compatible with traction control and ABS systems. Outstanding all-around traction. Best for vehicles with restricted clearance.
Super Z8® offers a unique combination of performance and convenience features for every user.
Chain tensioners are required and included. Extra tensioners are available through some retailers.

FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION
Fast and easy installation with no need to move the vehicle. “Designed-in” rubber tensioners means there is no need to stop and re-tighten after installation.
