Overview
The SCC Security Chain Z-Chain Z-579 is a tire chain for snow and winter traction, sold under the SCC Security Chain brand with part number SCCZ-579. It sits in the tire and wheel accessories category under snow chains.
Universal fit means the chain is not tied to a specific vehicle model. Tire chains still have to match tire size and wheel clearance, so check those measurements against your own setup before ordering. Confirm chain size, link type and the wheel positions it suits before ordering.
Key features

Snow chain setup and care
Tire chains add traction on snow and ice by biting into the tread, so their main job is to keep the tire moving forward and turning under winter loads. Install them on the drive wheels with the tire at its normal pressure, and tension them after a short drive, since most chain sets settle as links seat into the tread. Stop when the chain rattles or shifts and re-check the fasteners.
Chains are hardest on tires and wheel covers when they are over-tightened or run on dry pavement. Remove them as soon as clear roads return, and rinse off road salt before storing. Inspect cross links and hooks after each use; bent or broken links should be replaced before the next storm rather than run in a damaged state.
- Tension chains after the first short drive
- Remove them once roads are clear
- Rinse salt off before storing
- Replace bent or broken links early

Vehicle fitment
The Z-579 is designed as universal fit rather than for specific vehicle years, makes, models or trims. Match it to your tire size and wheel clearance instead.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Universal fit does not confirm that a chain will clear your tires, so confirm tire size and wheel clearance as well.
