A8. One big difference is durability. The “Shur-Grip Z” (or Super Z-6) is made with a higher-grade aircraft cable and larger traction coils, “Z-chain” is made to even higher standards. For example the “Radial Cable” is rated to last 135 miles on dry roads, the “Shur Grip Z” (or Super Z-6) 225 miles and the “Z-chain” 375 miles. (Actual mileage may vary, keep in mind these ratings are for dry roads so if you use your chains in snow or mud you can expect longer wear.) Q9.
