The V-bar studs on these tire chains bite into the ice to give you superior traction, while the ladder-pattern design assists with effective starts and stops. Durable low-carbon steel twist links also offer excellent grip in deep snow.

V-Bar Icebreakers
The V-shaped studs (also known as icebreakers, spikes, or cleats) that are built into these twist-link tire chains bite into ice, providing superior grip for a safer ride on ice-covered roads.
Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire, making sure that the V-bars are facing out.
2. Drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
3. Fasten the ends of the chain together.
4. Drive forward a bit and tighten the chain as needed by moving the hook to the next link.
You can use rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to increase the tension on the chains for a tighter fit.
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, as shown below.

Just bought them, but so far they look good! No issues with quality control and they look sturdy and well built. The installation videos from the etrailer folks on YouTube are excellent to figure out how to install them!
I'm going to travel from Chicago to Alaska this winter, so we'll see if I get a chance to use them on the Alaska highway. Expect an update sometime soon after the New Year.
Only had to use the chains once but it was pulling a trailer up a icy road and they worked great.
After spending one day of my snowmobile trip digging out my 2008 F-250, I decided to buy chains to get through a mile of unplowed road to our cabin. I bought the TC3831 with V-bar links and chain adjusters TCMA2s so I could tackle the deep snow with ice underneath. The chains were easy to put on and worked excellent on an unimproved road. The heavy 7mm links did a great job of traction and control. I would recommend to anyone that needs to get a truck and trailer to their snowmobile destination. One recommendation is to check your chain tension after spinning the tires.
First set of chains sent were the wrong part # and way too short.
Second set are are way too long.
I have the ability to alter chains myself but wondering if I should??
Customer service has been great with returns and such.

Oh no! Sounds like we are having a hard time getting the perfect ones for you so far. Lets not alter the chains just yet. I see that our customer service department has concluded that we do not carry a tire chain that will fit your tires. Lets go ahead give them a little while longer to see if the manufacturer themselves has a chain that will fit. I will get your review over to our customer service department and they will be getting in touch with you shortly on the matter.
Chains were easy to install. I went for a more rugged chain with the cleats, but now wish I got the ones without the cleats for the sake of the roads these may drive on.
Excellent grip and great fit
exactly as described
Really awesome customer service and super fast shipping. The chains are great quality too and proced right. I will be doing more business with you in the future. Thank you!
There nice chains.

Worked as it was supposed to. Good quality!
I received the first pair of snowchains and opened the package and inspected the snowchains. Looking forward to putting the snowchains to use. I will return in the future to post photos and update my review. Pending after my trip to the mountain. Overall happy with the speedy shipping and great customer service.
Thank you
The two sets of chains i ordered showed up quickly. I havent used the chains yet. But ill update this when i do. The 5.5mm diamond chains alot smaller than what i thought they were going to be... we will see how they do on my 1 ton.

Hey i still havent used either set of chains yet. Which is good i guess.
excellent quality and good price. I've had these over a year now and use the chains occasionally when off-roading with friends in deep snow and/or icy conditions. These have helped me thru terrain that would have been impassable without chains. Highly recommend these for anyone with 35" tires that needs to get thru the roughest winter terrain.
Great chains for the aggressive mountains of Colorado.
I purchased these tire chains from etrailer due to their amazing customer service. they arrived quickly and are very heavy duty. They do not have the cam chain tensioners, which is why i bought these. I will be using these for off road and did not want a cam that could possibly loosen. I have already cut them to length. they came packaged really well. thanks again etrailer......
I had placed an order from trailer for some snow chains for my vehicle. Amy, the customer service representative was extremely friendly, courteous and very helpful. She represented the company in a very professional manner. It's a shame other businesses don't have a rep like her.
Very great set of tire chains , better than I expected , they are heavy duty , and the v-bars are out standing , I would highly recommend then to anybody that needs a good set of tire chains. Great Price , Great Quality , Fast Shipping , Thanks
Solid product, fit great!
Fantastic service!
Very good product and on time shipping
They got my shipment out the door quickly. The chains fit my Nitto Trail Grappler 35x12.50x17 tires perfectly. Thank you etrailer folks.
Prompt delivery from etrailer. Received them today after ordering just a few days ago. Haven’t used them yet but they appear to be well made. Have a trip to Colorado planned in a week or so, so maybe I’ll get a chance to put them to work.
Haven't used my chains yet but did a kind of "dry" fit. They look like they should work on my 285/75-r18 Toyo open country ATII's. Customer service was great and shipping was fast and prompt. Look forward to dealing with these folks again.

Great product, got me out of a couple tough situations and kept me on the road when needed.
I haven't tried them yet, however I did install them. They seem to be of good quality and fit nicely. Hopefully I won't need them. I am glad I have them though.
They are heavy duty sized chains!! Have not test fitted yet. Disappointed there is no reusable bag as mentioned in the description. The sack they came in had to be cut open making it not reusable anymore.
well packaged. Arrived as anticipated. Thanks.
