Expert Answers about Tire Chains


  • Where are Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains Made
  • The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2321 are made in China. If you're looking for a USA made tire chain you could use something like the pewag Tire Chains # PWE2228S. However, you will need to make sure these work with your current tire size and check your owner's manual for any other restrictions. Unlike the Titan Chain tire chains these are not class S compatible.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation For 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • I spoke with my contact at Titan chains and they told me that their chains are made in China.

If your tires are 215/85-16, I recommend the Thule XG12 Pro, part # TH01594245. These are self-centering and self-tensioning dual-sided, D-shape links, which are designed for a smoother ride while still gripping in snow and ice. Thule chains are made...

  • Do the Cross Chains on Cable Snow Tire Chains Move on the Side Chains or are they Fixed In Place
  • The cross cables on the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW2045C, are clamped to the side cables with steel fasteners that will not move on the side cables. This ensures that the cables will remain evenly spaced when traveling with the chains installed on tires. The cross cables are not welded to the side cables. They are clamped to the side cables, similar to the way a ferrule is clamped to a safety cable in a garage door application. I produced a short video showing how the cables are...

  • There reason the snow tire chains such as Pewag # PWE2228SC are listed as on-road only will depend on how a tire is made.
