The Cable Chain that I described come with a large "Rubber Band" that works as a chain tensioner. You will not want to drive much faster than 25-30 MPH with the Cables on anyway, they will make a he!! of a noise and the ride will be rough. Make sure that you read the Owner's Manual for the Pilot and the Cables just in case.
I carry a Shovel as well as a Plastic Tarp, a Flashlight and a spare Tensioner. I have spun off the Chains and not able to find all of the Tensioner pieces but you shouldn't have this type of problem unless driving Un-Maintained Roads.
You'll be fine, if you can drive a Newell this should be easy.
