In putting them on the tire, do you have to rock the car back and forth to get them fully on and even?

I haven't had to use mine yet. Been lucky so far. But my son looked at them and said I made a good choice. Sorry, I can't say any more.

I lay out the cables, place a block of wood at the 3rd gap and drive on the wood and fasten cables

No They do not. They require screws through the fender and there are no instructions or they will not work on any vehicle without more money then it would cost to havethese purchased and installed by a certified toyota. Theses willl not work on any Toyota and not mine which is 2008. The box clearly states that is only through 2005 models.What a ripoff. I did not even return since it would have cost as much as the product that did not work nor was what was advertised. I have received numerous products that are advertised as something they are not. I do not plan to use Amazon as a supplier anymore No They do not.

Hi Kate, it only took me a few minutes and it was don so I suppose doing it often shouldn't be too much trouble. However, take care of the plastic parts that cover the "roots" (where they go into the car) because they are fragile when installing, in fact one of mine came broken but they replaced it immediately. Other than that, they stayed on for the last 2 years without a problem.

Nope - you'll be all set. Make sure you tighten all of the wheels and the thumbscrews in the back!

Yes. A bit of work to place them - allow yourself an hour. The front wheels must be turned each time to allow yourself access.

Yes they do. I bought them. They worked great and had the nuts. When you put them on make sure those first lug nuts are very tight. When I checked my wheels after the first couple weeks I noticed a couple had loosened.

No not really. We have a little hill and it sometimes gets stuck and the tires just go around and around till we push the car up the hill.

I personal installed them with a dewault screw gun and a small phillips head screwdriver. Took about 20 minutes. for the front tires just turn the wheel so it makes for easier access. I absolutely love them.

No the tires do not have to be off the vehicle. Very easy to install. No jacking up vehicle either.

Yes. Only the front mats have the anchors. The rear mats don't have them, as the cars don't have them.

I had no problem snapping them on. I was even concerned that it was too easy and the wheels would not stay on but they have. Sorry I cannot help more.

My husband put our new tires on himself. As long as you know what your doing you will have no problems.

Yes, they are a bit tricky to install. I didn't have any instructions, so I started at one point on the outer rim and used a rubber hammer to tap it into place. Eventually, it did snap in. A driver ran a stop sign and hit me in the hind left tire breaking to pieces the factory issued hubcap. I only used one of the four replacement hubcaps thinking that they are so fragile, I might need to replace it. It hasn't come loose in 7 months of driving on all manner of roads, but does have a crack though one place.

On mine I did not! Granted I'm only currently running 31's and have no issues, maybe with a larger tire but now under all driving conditions nothing affected

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".

Yes they do, the rear ones don't. Some people complain about this, but I don't see why. My son learned to maneuver his Ferrari the way you would a real car! I thought that was quite interesting!

No, you don't need to.You just loosen it up and lay it to the side so you can drive your machine over.Then, just put it around the tire and tighten.They are excellent, well worth the money.
