Titan Chain Link and Spring Tire Chain Adjuster for Heavy Trucks - 1 Pair

Video Transcript for Titan Chain Link and Spring Tire Chain Adjuster Review

Hey there winter warriors, Dustin here at etrailer.com. And today we're going to be taking a look at the Titan Chain Spring Loaded Tire Chain Tensioners. Now these are available for different sized tires. We recommend these for use with light duty trucks or picking up the one that's for a heavy duty truck application, just so you can get the tightest fitting tire chains possible, keeping you safe on the road. Now you're saying yourself, Dustin, it's the middle of summer, I can see you sweating. But that's kind of the point, before you head into the winter season is the best time to break out your winter gear and make sure you're safe and prepared for the winter.

And that's why we're taking a look at these chain tensioners today. As you can see, they do an excellent job of supplementing your existing tire chains that may not have a built-in tensioning device. You can see the five strong durable springs that are going to stretch out and pull that tire chain tightly around your tire. Now, these work out great with the cable style chains we have, but also if you have a square link chain or a V-Bar chain, or even a twist link style chain that doesn't have a built-in tensioning device, we recommend picking up a tension device. And this is a great one.

We have it here on our truck today, and these are designed for truck applications, but realistically, anything with a larger tire, these are going to be great for. They come as a set of two. So you're going to get one for each side of your vehicle. If you are putting chains on all four of your wheels, I recommend picking up two sets, that way, you'll get four adjusters. Now that we've gone over some features, I'll show you how I got these in place.

So you can see what I was talking about with better tire chain in place. And this is a cable roller style. Problem here being, look, it's still, we got it as tight as we could around the tire, but it's still pretty loose. We just don't want to have any issues going down the road. So we're going to take our Titan tensioner and it's going to allow us to space it out and hook on with the hooks at the end of each spring, you want to make sure that the hook and is facing away from the tire, just so you're not having that potentially sharp edge dig into your tire.

So you would go from the inside out. And then what I like to do is just try and get these kind of in a star. If you think of it more like a star pattern that works as well. And. Now this is the tricky part, but it's also the point, you want that tension, so these last few are going to be more difficult, and that's good, you want that because you are trying to achieve that tension. So we'll get these in place. You're never going to get it perfect, but this is a good idea of what it should look like. If you do find yourself needing even more tension, you can adjust it here and take up some more of these links, but this seems pretty good. Look at it now, compared to how it was, it's pulled up really tight against this tire. It's not going anywhere, we can confidently go down the road now. Of course you want to keep those safe speeds. Keep it under about 30 miles an hour while you're going down the road with tire chains on is what we recommend. But I also recommend just driving a few feet after you get these installed, hop out and double check, make sure everything still looks good. If it does, then you're good to go. And that completes our look at Titan chains snow tire spring tensioners..
