A more durable just-in-case option than cables, these low-profile, twist link chains are great for driving in snow or light ice, and they offer a smoother ride than square links. No cams or levers to come loose.

- Twist links are great for snow, but provide some traction on ice too
- Small, rounded links makes for a less bumpy ride than thick, square links
- Ladder pattern gives you traction as you drive forward
- Made for passenger vehicles with limited wheel-well clearance
- Meets SAE Class S standards
- Installs quickly without any cams
- No chance of cams coming undone when you're reversing or navigating rough terrain
- Rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used for a tight fit
- Constructed of low-carbon steel for strength and durability

Specs:
- Fits: 13" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
- Link thickness: 4.5 mm (0.177")
- Quantity: 2 tire chains
- 30-Day limited warranty
Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
If you have a car that requires low-profile chains because of limited clearance, but you need something a bit heavier duty than standard cable chains - which really aren't designed for anything beyond light snow- these chains are perfect. The rounded twist links provide traction in snow and light ice, and they give you a smoother ride than square links. These chains are also far more affordable than those square-link, Class S chains, so you won't have to pay an arm and leg if you only need a durable "just-in-case" option for driving through the mountains.
Class S Designation
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's user manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
- A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
- B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle
Confirming Your Fit
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. These chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Installing Snow Chains
Installing these chains is easy
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chains over your tires, making sure that the prongs attaching the cross chains to the side chains face away from your sidewalls. Drive forward about half a tire rotation.
3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat this on the front of the tire.
4. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.
Quick Tips:
- Lengthen the life of snow chains by drying them after each use before you store them.
- Check out our installation kit with safety lights and a kneeling pad (PO34FRK) to make things a little easier when you're installing chains out in the snow.
How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

Video Transcript for Titan Chains Ladder Pattern Twist Link Tire Chains Installation - 2007 Toyota Prius
Today on our 2007 Toyota Prius we'll be taking a look at the Titan Chains snow tire chain, with a ladder pattern. Part number TC1126. As you can see here to connect the cross chains here to our side chains there are the metal keepers, and on the backside they are flat. The flat side is the side you want on your tire and on the side wall so it doesn't damage your tire. On one side you have open chains on the front and back, and on the other end, on the backside you have a hook and on the front side you have a fastener that goes with the chains to tension your chains up and make them nice and tight around your tire. Here's what our new Titan chains look like installed on our Prius. As you can see, nice and secure fit on both sides.
The cross chains here have a twist in the link, and that's actually going to dig into the snow and ice and give you excellent traction in inclement weather. These are a class S, so they're great for vehicles that have limited wheel well clearance, such as this Prius. If you'd like you can add a rubber adjuster here to give you even more tension. This kit does come with 2 tire chains that could be put on the rear or front of your vehicle depending on if you have front wheel or rear wheel drive, and have a 30 day limited warranty. Now we'll go ahead and show you how to install the tire chain on your Prius. Now with our chain laid out we can go ahead and drape it over our tire.
Now you want to go ahead and make sure that your tire chain is even on the side wall of the tire on the front and rear of the tire. That will just make it a lot easier to hook up and it will make your tire chain even on your tire. Now that we have our chain draped around our tire and even on the side walls on the front and back we can go ahead and go to the back side, we can take our open links here, we can connect them to the hook on this side. Now depending on your vehicle, you'll go to different lengths. On this one we're going to go ahead and go to the second link here on the rear. Now if you do have excess links here you can go ahead and zip tie them up so they don't swing around and damage your car or if you have it set for one particular car you can go ahead and cut those links off and it's set for this and you don't have to mess with any extra links coming around swinging when your wheel is rotating.
Now we'll come to the front side of our tire, take our open chains here and our tensioner, feed our cable onto it . if you have extra links here feed them all onto it. This one we're going to go to . I'd go to the first link here. And then this will turn over and hook into your chain.
Just like that, our tire chains are installed and we're ready to hit the road. That will do it for our look at the Titan Chains snow tire chains. Part number TC1126 on our 2007 Toyota Prius. .

2015 Honda Fit
Bought for 2015 Honda Fit which I often take places it wasn't meant to go. Shipped and arrived very fast. As advertised. Neatly packed in plastic box easy to store in car. Instructions in box for those of us who don't regularly use chains. Happy with company and product.

My tire chains arrived on time, in good condition. I was able to use them a few days later. I already had the bungie cord tensioners and the directions were fine for me. They worked well. I only wish the shipping was cheaper, but I guess it was a heavy package and i did pick a faster service because I needed them soon.

I used the chain once last year since there were lots of snow at Big Bear Mountain at that time and chain was required first time. Unfortunately the chain was cut off on the way downhill, so we needed to stop immediately at the side road. I thought this chain is the best, yet it was not strong enough I guess... I don’t know why I received an email to review this product a year later. Anyway, I cannot use the chain anymore. I only used once, so this product was bit price for me.

Arrive just in time for a snow filled weekend.. looks great and should work out well on my small car (nissan versa). They are thin and lightweight so may not last forever, but that is what you get when you have a small car.
I will update after I actually use them.

product was gonna ship late and they called us personally to let us know and to see if there was anything they could do. It was very nice and thoughtful of them to do that. We really appreciated the customer service. The product actually arrived 2 weeks early. we would definitely use this company again.

These chains are amazing! I use them on a 12 passenger van and they install very quickly and easily. I have driven on unplowed roads with 2' snow drifts and have hauled trailers through muddy fields without getting stuck. I highly recommend them.

I know iron. 17 yrs trucking, mostly doubles across Montana into the Dakotas. Chained up a lot.
Pictures show what you get with this set I bought for my 2005 Tahoe. Heavy gauge chains w/triple cam locks w/long wrench for excellent leverage to get cams tight. Tight cams mean links don't "slap" pavement which causes increased wear. They arrived today so not used yet. However, for my application they will last a lot longer than those cheaper; light gauge, "disposable" chains, use once and throw away after you pay a tow bill.

The first trip I used them on, one of the chains snapped and shredded the inside of my fender as well as some damage to the outside. I was willing to give benefit of a doubt that it was a one time fluke. Called and tried to return and/or exchange. etrailer.com wanted me to pay for the shipping back even though it was within the 30days of purchase. The shipping would of cost me more than half of what I paid for them. Even after a couple of customer care calls and emails, etrailer.com still refused to pay the shipping to exchange them.

Chains looked good. After watching installation video it was a breeze to put on. They fit perfect. I’m only testing them right now so when I need to use them I’ll be more comfortable. I drove 1:2 mile down & back and the chains hadn’t moved.

These chains fit perfectly on my 2022 F-150 with LT265/70R18's. Easy to mount, with adequate clearance.

I bought a pair of twist link (TC3235) for my front tires and V-Bars (TC3835) for my rear tires, so writing a combined review. The V-Bars have more traction but my front end doesn't have as much clearance so I opted for the twist links in the front. I've now used these offroad 4 times, and once briefly onroad during a major ice storm that left all of our roads with skating rink type ice.
First - both chains fit 37" x 12.5 R18 tires perfectly. This is despite the fitment not being listed on etrailer.com and the etrailer CS rep telling me they wouldn't fit. The Titan catalogue / website does list 37x12.5R18.
Second - two pair of chains *just* fit in a milwaukee packout "Compact Tool Box" (model No: 48-22-8422). There isn't a wasted inch of space. After using them, I dry them in my garage, then douse them in WD-40 before putting them back in the packout. These chains are made from an alloy that prioritizes strength over corrosion resistance, so surface rust appears pretty quickly on them. Be warned that lifting all four chains together is heavy.
Third - They give amazing offroad traction. The only way you're getting stuck is by getting high-centered. You will not run out of traction if you have weight on your tires. However, it is easy to get high centered when using these in the snow if you aren't careful. Don't spin your tires, or your axles and frame rails will be holding the vehicle while your wheels hang in the air.
Fourth - I would only recommend using these onroad in very limited circumstances. During an ice storm I had to get a neighbor to the hospital. We live on an extremely steep hill and the roads had 1" of clear ice on them. With the chains it was like the ice wasn't there. But the whole truck vibrated a lot. And it probably prematurely wore the chains. If I drove faster than ~15-20 mph it really rattled the truck. (offroad in the snow I'll drive 40+ mph no problem with these. but driving on hard surfaces causes a lot of vibration).

I really appreciate the great service and really fast delivery. My go to for my trailer parts and chains.
by: Doug 01/25/2024
First time purchasing tire chains I must say this Titan product is pretty heavy duty I like the chrome finish I’m running a BFG all terrain 32x11.5 R15 the fit was perfect I would like to give a shout out to etrailer customer service team very professional & knowledgeable new exactly what chain was needed having provided lots of choices and option's that was important to me there shipping was very fast impressed caught me by surprise there communication was great keeping us informed the entire process they surely deserve this 5 star review thank you
by: Pete10/02/2021
Needed these chains for a snowboarding trio this December. Installed them in my yard to make sure they fit, and figure out which link worked best. Now that i know what link to use, next time it should only take sbout 10 min to put them on. I really like how they stay away from my wheels so should not scrstch them. My yard was very soft from recent rain and you can see how well the chains dig into the mud. Should be really good on snow/ice.
by: Kim 03/20/2024
Very tight to get on but I found I do not require the tensioner. Very good product.

I got to use them one time. The chain links that are horizontal a few of them popped off
by: Sarah 11/16/2023
My Titan Chain Low Profile Tire Chains arrived on time and fit great. They were exactly as described. Luckily I did not have to use them at all last winter, but I did a test run and they were relatively easy to install and tighten. Having these in the trunk of my van allow me to stay in compliance with state "chains required" regulations and provides me with peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product. Customer service has been great.

- Which Tire Chains Will Fit A 25 Inch Diameter Tire That Is 7 Inches Wide?I have a solution for you, but the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains # TC1126 will not be able to fit around tires that have a diameter of 25" and width of 7". I recommend going with the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern # TC1142 which will easily fit your tires. For a tight fit, I recommend adding Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster # TCMA2 to the tire chains. I attached a demonstration video for you.

Looking through the available chains for each of these tire sizes, it does not look like the same set of chains will be able to fit both tires. The size difference between the two is just enough to require a smaller assembly for your 245/60R18 tires Just for reference a 245/60R18 tire will be about an inch smaller both in diameter and width than a 265/60R18 size tire.
