Absolutely, they work on ice.A little story.2am Freezing rain. Going 20mph. just trying to get home. A few more hills to go. Went down a hill into a valley, tried to go up the other side. Almost to the top. Lost traction. Started sliding backwards down the hill. Luckily I was able to keep it on the road. At the bottom of the valley I turned around, and tried to go back the way I came. The same thing. Almost to the top. Lost traction. Started sliding backwards down the hill. What to do? Miles from any homes. 1/4 tank of gas 30 degrees. I could call some one. But they would be in the same trouble. I almost forgot I had these. I go to put these on. I had to hold onto the car to keep from sliding away. (Literately) After putting these on. (with one hand). I was able to claw my way out of the valley. Without the tires slipping once. ( I was taking it easy ) Took me another hour to get home, but it was better that waiting for the ice to melt, in a cold car.Buying another set for my other car, now.

Security Chain Company SC1040 Radial Cable Traction Tire Chain - Set of 2

Security Chain Company SC1040 Radial Cable Traction Tire Chain - Set of 2

Q: Do these cables have to be constantly readjusted? Also does anybody know how much clearance is required to put the cables on?

As far as re-adjusting, I like to do it soon after initial installation, then it holds pretty well. Mind you, I'm keeping near to the 30mph limit they suggest, and not driving tons of miles (maybe 10-15) - I've used these right in the city right after the snow, when streets have little bare pavement ( so I don't get in trouble ) - not like over a mountain pass in WA or OR. As far as clearance, I've used them on the front of a Saturn SL2 - I wouldn't say they have a lot of clearance. The key for me is turning the tire I'm working on so I can get at the end where I'm hooking up the cables. Reaching around the tire for the inside connection isn't fun, so having the pointing out in front is helpful. You have to be able to move around the tire enough to get the inner "ring" of cable well inside the tire, and the whole assembly centered on the tire. Takes me about 20 minutes each time, because it always seems to be at least a year since the last time I've done it, and I never gain a "knack".

Q: how do you put them on ?

Check out this video from Security Chain Company's website http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction-product-choices/radial-chain/#video. Personally, for my vehicles, I find it a bit easier to "jack " the wheel in which I am working on. This allows me to snug up the chain without the interference of the pavement. Because the chains cover a multitude of tire sizes, this might make it easier or harder for your installation. My truck was the largest tire size that the chain covered, so I have to fight a little bit to make the connections (jacking the wheel helps allot here!). My car is on the opposite end of the scale, so it is rather easy. I strongly recommend these chains for their value. I own 3 sets of these chains for all my vehicles.

Q: HOW DO THEY DO ON A GRAVEL ROAD?

I used mine over the weekend on a ice/snow covered gravel road. They worked great. I even stopped on the uphill side and had no problem getting started again. I bought them for a 2 wheel drive 1998 Chevy Tracker. I do not know how well thy would work on my 2006 GMC 1500 4 door pickup. A lot more weight to get moving.
