It sounds like you are covering most of the bases here. If all of the tires on your truck are 265/75R16 tires and the chains have the same number of side links and cross links and the side and cross links are the same size, then the only other things that could be an issue are proper inflation of the tires, the tire brand or manufacture date being different.
Check the inflation of your tires, and the brand and model of the tires first and if these check out. If so, check the manufacture... view full answer...
The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains with Cams - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links - 1 Pair # TC2221CAM if being used on the correct tire sizes should not have loose ends. The cam tighteners should remove any slack that would be an issue. Your option is to trim the cross chain links to shorten and then use the Titan Chain Cross Chain Repair Link - 0.25" Thick - Qty 1 # TC250CCRL to replace the removed link(s) and hold the chain together. You likely will need the Titan Chain Repair Pliers for Light... view full answer...
Thank you for submitting a picture, that makes it much easier to be able to tell exactly what is going on with your chains. At first glance it does look like the part # TC2526 is too small for your tire. It really looks like you need to pull the yellow of the chain closer to the center of your wheel so that the tensioner chain doesn't have to bridge as far of a gap to connect the yellow chain at the bottom of the tire. Try grabbing the chain and positioning it so that the yellow portion... view full answer...
The manufacturer does show the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, # th02230k45 to be a confirmed fit for the 2019 Subaru Forester equipped with 225/55-18 tires although you may need to remove a link for custom fitment. Please note the linked product installation video walking through the needed steps and verify that you have the needed count of links. view full answer...
Your truck is a rear wheel drive vehicle and since you made it up without the chains on I do not think it was the weight, or lack of weight, in the back.
There is a speed limitation with chains. Basically you will want to go about 25 miles per hour. Certain chains are not good in ice so depending on the chain type and the nature of the accumulation on the road, that could be the problem. If you were using cables like # PW3027C they are not good in ice at all. Also if the chains are not... view full answer...
The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, (DISCONTINUED) PW1930V, (Now PW10300) that you referenced are the correct size for the 205/55-16 tires on your 2009 VW Jetta. There is a possibility that the tire brand on your Jetta is constructed differently than standard 205/55-16 tires and you would need to order a different size chain.
The first thing to do is make sure you are installing the cables in the correct order. You should connect the inside cable, with only one stop, behind the tire first... view full answer...
Thanks so much for reaching out to us with a picture of your chains. I have a great solution for you. The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link # TC2319 will definitely fit your standard 235/60-18 tires on your 2014 Honda Pilot.
With that being said, by the looks of your photo, it looks like the main issue is how you installed the tensioner component on your tires. The chains will fit better/tighter if the tensioner is closer to an opposite position of where... view full answer...
For your 2005 Scion tc with p215/45R17 tires the Standard Snow Tire Chains for Passenger Vehicles by Thule - CB12 - Size 090, part # TH01221090, is the correct size for your tire.
I spoke with our installer (the guy you see in the installation video I attached below) and he said you may be encountering a couple different problems.
The first thing he said to try was to take the chains and lay them out, and look for any tangles, and make sure that none of the chains are twisted up at all.

From the part number and the photos you provided, I am assuming you mean the Titan Snow Chains # TC2228CAM for your 265/60-18 tires on your 2017 Ford F-150. You are correct in determining that these chains will fit your tires.
As far as troubleshooting the fitment issue, the first thing you need to check is to make sure there is no overlap of any of the links (they should all be completely spread out without bunching). The next thing is tightening; from the photos, it looks like the issue... view full answer...
For your 2018 Volvo XC90 with 275/40-21 tires, I can't 100% confirm that you won't need the 22mm adapter, but chances are extremely slim. From all the online forums, the Volvo's have consistently used 19mm for years.
The Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K67 # TH2004565767 are excellent tire chains that allow for zero internal clearance and are very effective. These chains come with the 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm adapters included.... view full answer...
The tire chains part # PWRS79 that fit the tire size of 225/65-17 that you have on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon are totally fine to use with AWD vehicles with ABS systems. Like with any winter driving your ABS system is probably going to be working differently in the snow but the chains will give you a ton more traction. AWD is not an issue at all.
I attached an install video for these chains on a similar Outback for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Thule K-Summit chains, size K12, should fit your wheels and tires just fine. You should not need to adjust the wire mounting point on the hub. Check step 2 of your instructions. Make sure the lug mount is seated all the way on the tire lug and is pointed toward the center of the wheel.
When you ratchet the chains on, put plenty of strength on the ratchet. The wires may bow or torque, but they are supposed to. Once you have the chains on and ratcheted down tight, drive for at least... view full answer...
First thing you need to do is check the owners manual for your 2008 Scion tC to determine if cables/chains are okay to use on your vehicle. For some vehicles there just isn't enough inner tire clearance to use cables/chains.
For your vehicle the only tire size info we have is 215/45-17 which calls for the # PW1034 Glacier cables. You may be trying to use a set of cables that are just too big and that is why there is the fit issue.
For an option that does not put any portion of the chain... view full answer...
When it comes to driving in the snow, the more pounds per square inch of tire you have the better you will get around. So a really skinny tire that concentrates the weight of your vehicle to the ground will get better traction than a really wide tire.
Consequently, when you have a vehicle with a dually rear axle you are spreading the weight out between two tires and therefore decreasing the traction when compared to a single rear wheel axle. So, the fact that you have a dually truck is... view full answer...
I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems installing your cables! I did confirm that the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2016C fit your 235/65-17 tires on your 2019 Honda CR-V. Also, I see that you did purchase the correct tensioners # TCMA1.
One of the most common installation speedbumps that people encounter involve any tangling/overlapping of the chains when connecting the cables into the connection housing. In order to help with this process, I recommend turning the tires... view full answer...
Adding chains to secure your Ford tractor shouldn't be causing your 2011 Ford F-150 to shake like that. Does the vibration occur when you are not towing? If this is the case then it is definitely on your vehicle.
The only way that I can see adding chains to the mix causing any sort of shaking is if there is some play for your tractor to move. If there is some slack then any bumps you hit could be cause the tractor to move some which, in turn, would cause you to feel movement inside your... view full answer...
Typically the number one thing that causes trailer sway is improper trailer loading. Not having enough tongue weight will cause sway the easiest. You want to have the tongue weight of the trailer to be 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight. The other thing that can cause sway is not having the trailer sitting level. Having it nose high or low will cause issues.
You will want to check the tire pressure in trailer tires. Make sure they are inflated to the max psi listed on the sidewall... view full answer...
The key may not be in the right position or there could be something wrong with the ignition switch/lockout feature used to unlock the steering when the key is in the right position.
I suppose it is possible that with a heavy enough key chain it could turn the key or damage the ignition cylinder there where the key is inserted.
I would take the Golf to a Volkswagen dealer and explain what is happening and have them check things related to the steering lock/unlock mechanism when the... view full answer...
It sounds like the weight distribution is dialed in correctly. How the trailer is loaded can have an effect on trailer sway. You typically want the tongue weight to be about 10 to 15 percent of the fully loaded trailer weight. Moving some gear toward the front of the trailer will usually help combat trailer sway. It is also important that the trailer be towed as close to level as possible. If your trailer is level, and you have the ground to wheel opening as close as you mentioned, going... view full answer...
The best thing I can recommend to try is to check if your brake controller is even working via amp draw.
This will allow you to see if your controller is working, and how much your magnets are drawing when fully activated.
What you'll want to do is use a multimeter like the Digital Multimeter with 42" Long Test Leads # PT29ZR with the clamp on attachment and set the multimeter to DC.
Next clamp onto the brake lead on the driver side of the trailer where it starts back to the brakes.... view full answer...
