$30. White Star by Security Chain Link Tire Chains. Never Used.
Copy/Paste from Google:
“The SCC WhiteStar WS1309 is a legacy, premium passenger car traction chain. While the WhiteStar product line is no longer manufactured by Security Chain Company (SCC), these specific chains are highly regarded for their smooth ride, low-profile clearance, and reliable build quality.
Key Features of WhiteStar WS1309 Chains
• Diamond-Pattern Mesh: Unlike standard "ladder" chains that go straight across the tread, the WS1309 uses a cross-locking diamond pattern. This ensures continuous chain-to-road contact, giving you vastly superior lateral stability (preventing your car from fishtailing sideways).
• Manganese Alloy Steel: Built from an alloy that is significantly stronger and lighter than standard carbon steel links. This allows the chain links to be thinner while retaining aggressive bite on ice.
SAE Class "S" Clearance Compatibility: The thin profile is specifically designed for modern passenger cars with tight wheel wells. They require minimal clearance behind the tire, reducing the risk of slapping against brake lines, struts, or body panels.
• Fast Installation: They use a split-cable design, meaning you can loop the chain around the tire and snap it into place without driving or rolling the car forward onto the chains.
Tire Sizes It Fits
Because SCC categorized the legacy 1300-bracket series before modern tire sizes shifted, the WS1309 was engineered to fit a specific cluster of 13-inch, 14-inch, and slim 15-inch passenger tires.
While you should always cross-reference the stamped label on your physical container box, the historical fitment profile for the WS1309 matches the following standard passenger car tire sizes:
• 13-Inch Rims:
• 185/80-13
• 205/70-13
• 14-Inch Rims:
• 175/80-14
• 185/70-14
• 185/75-14
• 195/65-14
• 205/60-14
• 15-Inch Rims:
• 165/80-15
• 175/70-15
• 185/65-15
• 195/55-15
• 195/60-15
• Note: Tire dimensions vary slightly by manufacturer and tread depth. If your vehicle features a modern compact car tire size (like 205/55R16 or 195/65R15), the WS1309 will likely be too small, and you would need to step up to a newer series like the SCC Super Z6 or Peerless Auto-Trac models.
