Installation
1. Spread the chain around the back of the tire.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cable at the back of the tire.
3. Push the cable into place behind the tire and center the cross chains on the tire's tread. Then, on the front side of the tire, join the 2 ends of the yellow side chain using the green hook.
4. Feed the silver draw chain with the rubber tensioner through the red channel at the bottom and pull it tight. Then run the tensioner through the red rings. (Note: Depending on your tire size, you might not be able to thread through both rings.) Pull the tensioner across the tire and fasten it to the yellow chain on the opposite side.
5. Pull your vehicle forward and retighten the chain.

These square-link, diamond-pattern tire chains provide excellent traction in snow and ice for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. Made of a durable and corrosion-resistant manganese nickel alloy with built-in tensioners to ease installation.These chains were amazing! I was a bit hesitant to go with chains over cables due to the car's manual saying to use cables, but after talking to Bob at etrailer, and watching the install videos, I went with them (on all four tires) and am glad I did! We went up to Yosemite for the New Year, and it snowed the day we drove in. We got through the gate into the park without needing chains, but once inside, the roads started to get covered, and though we have AWD, we don't have snow tires and the chains seemed like the best option. We pulled over and had the chains on all four tires within about 20 minutes. The car ran like a tank through the snow (and later, ice-covered roads) and I'm really happy we went with the chains rather than cables. After putting on the chains, we drove about 100 yards to check and tighten them. They were actually pretty tight - only had to tighten one. They really really came in handy driving through the Yosemite Valley, and the email responses I got from Bob prior to buying these showed me great customer service. The shipping speed was top notch as well, and overall, I'm happy that we went with etrailer to get these chains for our snow-covered trip to Yosemite.
These are the most incredible chains I have seen that don't cost $500. I travel both the Coquihalla and Crows Nest highways in BC, Canada and chains are mandatory after October. Weather conditions are not usually the best to be wrestling these things on. They come neatly packaged and separated - no untangling. They will come out and go straight on the car. These chains go on from the outside of the wheel with no crawling under the car or moving or steering the wheels to get them aligned. I'm 63 and really appreciate that! George was prompt with the order and got them to me in less than a week. Even upgraded my standard shipping to priority at no additional charge. He is no my go to for everything SUV!
The staff at etrailer was helpful in answering questions before I purchased my snow chains from etrailer. Once the package was delivered, they followed up with me making sure that i received my order and that the product was correct and fit correctly.
I bought this for my 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and used it this past weekend to go to Big Bear. Installation was very simple. The chains itself worked pretty well in the snow and they fit like a glove around the tire in my opinion. What I liked most about it is that you don't have to drive over it to install it. Just drape it over the tire and connect. Also, I found it very cool that the parts where you have to connect were color coded to help you with the install.
Everything went great, ordering was a breeze, shipping fast and packed well. Two thumbs up!
planning a trip out west for hunting!!! easy to put on and take off, will work great for up in the mountains!!
Arrived 2 days early!
I bought these to use on my 26 foot RV. I followed the buying guide and ended up with these, not knowing if I would need them or not. Well, I was driving through WA in early December and the only way one could pass Snoqualmie pass was if one had snow chains. I had never put snow chains on an RV with dual wheels. Well, it wasn't hard and the chains worked like a charm. I am very satisfied and would recommend these. Easy to use and durable
etrailer was great, kept me notified and fast shipping. Tire chains, not so much. My fault for ordering 3.5MM chains, but they said for SUV or truck. These are very thin and light duty. Here in the Sierras of California, you're forced at times to drive on pavement before chain removal areas. These chains would wear out very fast in those conditions. If you plan on using these numerous times, I would recommend heavier duty chains.
The tire chains for our Highlander arrived yesterday. Fortunately in western Oregon we only need chains if we decide to go over the mountains to the ski areas or the eastern part of the state and it is snowing. With luck they may never come out of the trunk. Thank you for your service.

We have had an unusually warm, dry winter. The chains have never been out of the trunk. BUT they are there ifwhen we need them. Thank you. CLB
Recieved items faster than expected shipping which was a plus for our trip comming up. Once i received the item. I unboxed and tested (as u should before going into the snow) setup was simple, directions were straight forward and easy to follow. The only thing i didnt do was drive the car with the chains on yet cause its not snowing here. Will be using them this week and will uldate review with results!
These were/are a trip-saver. We have a Chrysler Pacifica (minivan), which is front wheel drive. These chains made it possible for us to get out of a steep, snow-covered (approx. 3” base snowpack w/ several inches of fresh powder on top) driveway, as well as to drive snowy mountain roads with confidence. Installation is quick enough the first time around (maybe 10min), and the learning curve is nothing to fear. After a couple of times, you’ll get it done in about 5min. I have 5 kids, so impatient passengers is a real concern, and stopping to put on these chains didn’t precipitate meltdowns. Conditions were such that repeated on-off-on-off was occasionally necessary on our trip last year. Again, you can get proficient at installation after 2-3 times, and be in the 5min range (definitely less than 10min). Wear gloves for grip and protection. Practice installation in your driveway a time or two, and you’ll be way ahead of the curve. Looking forward to toting these chains along for this year’s winter trip to the Rockies.
Low quality, and dangerous for your car. They broke after our first trip. The reviews are definitely wrong on this one. Don't endanger your car, get another brand

Well that is dangerous! Do you have any more details on what broke and what your tire size is? I want to help but I need some more information.
Worked great in hard packed snow/ice in the Sierra Nevada's. Also powered through heavy snow berms left from snowplows in parking lots at the ski hill, the condo complex, and around town during a nasty Sierra storm. All-season tires by themselves would have certainly involved shoveling to make it through the berms. They were also smooth up to almost 30mph with only a little vibration at 30, their max recommended speed. They are alot easier and faster to install than your typical ladder style chains. No driving on to the chains before making connections. All other chains I've purchased in the past needed separate tensioners, but the self-tensioning design of these chains is brilliant, and the color coding makes for foolproof installation. The performance and convenience of these chains are well worth the little bit extra in price compared to ladder styles. The zippered heavy nylon carrying case is far superior to the canvas sacks that came with the chains (of another brand) for our truck, and will be far more durable than the plastic box that came with chains (again, another brand) purchased for a previous vehicle. You really can't ask for anything more. I'd give more stars if possible.
Unless your vehicle is garaged when you put these on, my experience was that they are more likely to fail. The ones I purchased broke after only 3 times trying to use them because I did not have a dry flat concrete pad when placing them on the tires. Putting them on when your traveling because the weather has turned is very difficult due to snow and ice build up around the tires as well as the snow packed roads don’t easily allow for the chains to go on evenly.
These chains are solid and fit well on my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer. I was only able to test fit in my driveway, so I can't say how they do on the road yet, but they are simple and quick to install. I ordered them at around 10:30 p.m. PST, and received the order the next day with the upgraded 3-5 day shipping. My order had several items, but one item was missing from the initial delivery. The customer service at etrailer.com had the missing item sent out and at my door 2 days later with very little effort on my part. Awesome job etrailer.com! Your prompt and courteous customer service will most certainly bring me back for future needs!
First thing I noticed about these was the packaging/storage case that these came in. I was shocked at how nice the carrying case was. It gives you the impression these are high-quality tire chains...and they are! Well constructed and easy to put on. I bought these for my Audi Q5 to drive in the Seattle area. This winter we've had 12-30" of snow west of the Cascade mountains and 7 feet at the Snoqualmie Pass, which normally allows chains but was closed for several days. These chains have helped a ton, preventing us from being stuck in our house. We live in an area that is part of the Cascade mountain plateau and as such have steep hills and since we don't normally get this much snow it took longer to get the local and county to plow the roads. A life saver...
My tire chains arrived and I'm excited to use them for the next Sierra snow storm. Excellent quality chains and even the storage case is nice! For something that's going to sit in my trunk most of the time, it's nice to know the chains will be properly stored and self contained - for whenever they are needed. As for my overall customer experience with eTrailer, these guys are top notch! From product selection, ordering, shipping and communication throughout the process - I am completely satisfied and will gladly be a repeat customer! Thanks
This is a great product and just what I have been looking to purchase. I have researched Tire Chains for the past year and I am pleased with this product. I was able to easily put in details about my vehicle and had several options to review and ultimately purchase. I highly recommend etrailer for any of your needs, plus my chains come in a nice bag that holds the chains and also instructions on how to install!
The chains seem to fit ok but I wish they had protective sleeves over the chains where they touch the rims. Service from etrailer couldn’t have been better.
I haven't used them yet but I tried them on and they fit my tires, even though my tire size was not On the case. Love your Videos of Installation, good job. Only one thing I paid for a 4 to 6 day delivery and didn't get them until 7th day so that extra money was wasted.
Excellent used on plow truck easy to install often used 2wd on 25 deg. Incline less wear and tear on steering and 4wd
I will be pleasantly to let you know as soon the first snow showers arrive in New York City, until there let’s see it.

Here at Catskills mountain we have tons of snow, those chains just save my life a couple times!
I did not have to use the chains during my recent trip to the snow but I did practice putting the chains on and it was super easy, the chains fit perfectly. Also, I received them as expected, in a timely manner.
Fortunately, I haven't had to use them.
I put them on once to adjust them for size.
Appeared to be a good quality.
Fast shipping and great to do business with etrailer as always.

After a year of owning these chains, still couldnt be happier. Weve moved from CA to the east coast and though we havent yet had the need to put the chains on, we keep them in the car just in case. Having the peace of mind that I can stop and put them on quickly if needed makes me happy, and I still am very glad that I was able to get these from eTrailer with guidance from Bob
