Installation

Installation Step 1

1. Spread the chain around the back of the tire.


Installation Step 2

2. Connect the yellow and blue cable at the back of the tire.


Installation Step 3

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.


Installation Step 4

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.


Installation Step 5

5. Pull your vehicle forward and retighten the chain.


Class "S" Designation

SAE Class "S" tire chains are designed for use on vehicles with restricted wheel well clearance. Certain newer cars, vans and small trucks, especially those with large, aftermarket tires, may require Class "S" chains.

SAE Class S Clearances

These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:

  • A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
  • B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself.

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.


Tire size on sidewall

185/60-15

  1. (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
  2. (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
  3. (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

hard to get onto my E350 dually, but works well when in the snow. Suggest driving onto a 2x4 to lift up wheels so you can slide it between dual wheels. Great traction with heavy weight. durable.

I have ordered through etrailer a handful of times now and every time I am impressed by their service. My order was shipped the same day as I placed it and came much faster than I expected. The personal follow up emails after the fact are a nice touch as well. I have ordered these tire chains in the past and they have held up well. Only ordering new sets because I have more vehicles in my company fleet that need them. Thanks for the great service, etrailer!

2011 Chrysler Town and Country

The product looks impressive and of good quality materials. Haven't tried them yet, so can't comment on the performance. What I didn't like was receiving the product with no installation instructions. Had to email etrailer to inform them and they promptly responded by emailing me pictorial instructions. Had to download and print out the instructions. Am glad I had a PRINTER to do so. Ordering, Packaging, Delivery, and Customer service were excellent. The manufacturer's product without the instructions was good (Not too cool)!



by:
2011 Cadillac CTS

I received the chains that were ordered in three days and shipping was free. I put the chains on my 2011 CTS for practice given we just had a 12-inch snow. My previous cables did not fit the car and left me stranded! The new chains went on the vehicle very easily, and I look forward to the next snow storm!

Jessica was very helpful selecting which chains to purchase. They fit well, the price was very competitive and arrived quickly. I had to deliver some material to a mountain location and needed to go down a couple of steep inclines. I put chains on all four tires of my truck and one axle on the trailer. I didn't have any slipping or sliding on an icy snow-packed road.



by:

I put these chains on and they lasted less than one slow-driving (under 30mph) mile. Despite proper installation, both of them broke in different ways (seems like multiple weak points). One use and they failed me, in snow, got me deep into a predicament that I had to work quite a bit to get out of. I am worse off than when I started - and I had to pay a lot to be stranded. In my assessment, these chains are garbage and actually quite [not allowed to make "suggestions that may affect safety/warranty]. Contacted etrailer about it, brushed off referring to the 30-day limitation. There is no concern for proper function, likely just the bottomline. Value your money and go elsewhere.

I have a 2018 Suburban Premier with the 22” wheels and 285/45R22 tires. I purchased two sets of these chains (four chains in all) for a trip to Mammoth California at the beginning of March 2023 during a record snow season. I was really glad that I had them as I had them all four wheels for most of a week, taking them off and putting them on at least 5 times. Part of the time I had them on I was pulling a 6x12 UHaul trailer. These chains worked flawlessly and provided a huge amount of extra traction on top of my Michelin Defender LTS M/S tires. I was a bit concerned that using the chains may cause some damage to may alloy wheels, but that did not happen. If you put them on correctly, the wheels don’t get damaged at all. The etrailer videos that show how to put the chains on accurately portray the ease of doing that. Even after a week of pretty constant use, the chains don’t show much wear at all. I would absolutely buy these again.



by:

I'm very happy with my snow chains! The chains are easy to install, the carrying case is great, the instructions are very clear, and George and Carol from etrailer provided great customer service! The chains are well-priced and are comparable to the Grizzlar Diamond tire chains.



by:

For ease of installation, these snow chains are great! The only problem I had was on my right rear, the tensioning chain could not be tightened enough going through the rings the way the instructions showed. I ended up going to the far ring first, then back to the middle, then across the wheel. Only for tensioning (doesn’t pull the chains offsides at all), so I think my solution worked well. Kelsey S. was a wonder to work with! This was my first foray into snow chains, so she guided me through my options, explaining every benefit and need for the ice/snow conditions expected. I put the chains on my 2015 Ram 2500 4x4 long bed relatively quickly considering my inexperience.



by:

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.



by:

No snow yet but the practice installation went great! So simple my 6 year-old helped make sure I was following the instructions properly. Time will tell if I need them and how they work in the upcoming North Idaho snow plowing season. Fit great on my 275/70R18 tires. I appreciate the carrying case they came with, also!



by:

These chains are Awesome in every way! I live at 7500' on a mesa in W.new mexico, winter is get to town in the morning early while the roads are still frozen. . . otherwise its mud\snow\rock\ice, in a steady uphill climb. . . These chains go on so fast, (like 5min for a set). I use them on a 2001 AWD\4WD Expedition... FRONT end only and while I get some rear end sliding, the fronts just never break loose at all



by:

While the snow chains were easier to use than traditional snow chains, one of the links broke within the first day of use. I was driving less than 20 mph on snowy/icy roads so I don't know what went wrong. It was very frustrating to have the snow chains break almost immediately. As such, I cannot recommend this product.



by:

First, overall I will say I like these chains. I have used cables before as well as cheaper chains and found them more difficult to put on (in the case of the chains) and did not provide as great of traction.

When these chains are on they work great. They're pretty easy to put on and the traction in deep snow and on ice is great.

Unfortunately, one of my chains completely broke apart when I was driving the mountain rode in a bit of ice and slush. I was going about 25 and I had properly secured and tightened them before heading out. I doubled back to pick them up off the road and the metal was completely broken, so there was no salvaging that. I had used them only 4-5 times and dry them off after each use, so I'm pretty disappointed it did not last long at all. I reordered a pair in hopes the last one was a fluke and now have a backup chain in case one breaks again, but will update this after a few more trips with the new chains. Overall, they work great when they work, but the build quality is now in question.



by:

This is actually my second set of these chains, my first set loosened up quite a bit and weren't very stable at speeds over 20 MPH. Overall, fantastic set! I know these aren't supposed to last a lifetime by any means, but still got about 2 seasons of mountain/snow wear and use with them. Price is right, install is easy once you know and understand how to put them on. Pro Tip- I went to staples and got the instruction sheet laminated, it helped tremendously, especially when you need to do a quick reference on the side of a road.



by:

They seem like good chains, but they don't seem to fit my 2021 Toyota Sienna AWD tires like it said they should (235/65/17). The tensioner chain is too short for me to pull tension on adjacent yellow chains and I am worried this will negatively impact the chains stability on my tires. I can barely get the rubber tensioner through the first red ring after pulling and readjusting several times. This is my first time using snow tire chains... Would someone with experience be able to let me know if this is OK or if I should buy some different chains?



by:

I've fit these chains once. Super easy to put on, super easy to take off. Bought these for my trips to Tahoe. Although my truck is 4x4, it's worth it to have these chains in case I need them.



by:

Works well, I suggest adding additional tensioner if you don’t want any slack.
Loved the product



by:

I have a Chevy Traverse 2018 with 255/65R18 tires. The distance between tire and wheel well of the car is low. Even after watching the install video and confirming these would fit my size tire without any extra equipment or cutting of links. The fit was loose even after having the tension chain pulled to the last link. I had to add extra heavy duty black bungees across the face of the wheel to pull the slack in. Just like you used to do with the old style heavy duty chains. After adding the bungees the chains worked great in 12" of snow.



by:

I'm satisfied with this product. I ordered these for use on my 2007 F-150 (oversized tires). I have used in these twice while up on forest service roads in winter. They grip very well and have held up to driving slowly on heavily snowed roads. I felt much safer on compacted snow near steep drop-offs.

Installation is fairly simple, although tensioning takes a minute. I supplemented these chains with bungie cords to get them nicely tensioned. Remember to check tension after they settle in. I had good results checking after only a few hundred yards.

I would not expect them to stand up to heavy duty use or combined snow and rocks. But these are not that kind of chain. Good for emergency use or light duty recreation.



by:

I got the chains and tired them on tonight and they seem big. With the tension all the way tight there was still slop in the chain system. It definitely seems like they could tighten more. The instructions show a few inches of available tension when the chains are on plus I had to loop the bungee cord around another section of chain to get any tightness. It just does not seem like the proper fit and may cause issue when in use. Is there a smaller size or another tire chain that would better fit a 275/65R18 tire???



by:

I got these as a precaution because I was going to ski in Utah and Colorado with my F-350 4WD truck. Boy did it turn out that I needed them. I've never owned tire chains before but these were easy to install and remove and very effective! The carrying case is very convenient as well. I got a set of four chains (two pairs)and in four wheel drive my truck moved through the snow like a tank. Good product. (And I don't bother to write many reviews)



by:

Fantastic product with low profile fit on 2015 Grand Cherokee. Easy installation. Make sure the GREEN link is at the top when you take them off, so that it lines up with clasp on the inside of tire for easy removal.

  • Low Clearance Tire Chain Recommendation for Jeep Liberty with Tire Size 225/75-16
    What your manual is stating is that you need to run tire chains that are low clearance. Meaning they are smaller so that they don't take up as much clearance in the wheel well. For that the easiest option that fits your tire size of 225/75R16 is the part # TH04115245 which installs in a matter of seconds. The option with the best clearance is the K-Summit part # TH02230K66. Or for a budget friendly option that works great the Titan set # TC2318.

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains for 235/60R17 Tires
    The Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links - 1 Pair # TC1146 is a confirmed fit for the 235/60r17 tires you referenced. The Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Light Trucks - 1 Pair # TCMA2 you will also need to keep these chains tight to your tires. These are more bulky chains than you would typically use on a Saturn Vue, so I recommend using a smaller diameter to allow wheel clearance and prevent possible damage to your wheel wells.

  • 2016 Ford Transit T350 Tire Chains Recommendations for 235/65/16C Tires
    We definitely have a variety of chains that are relatively easy to install on the 235/65/16C tires of your 2016 Ford Transit T350 but when it comes to the speed rating that's a pretty hard no-go as both tire chain and vehicle manufacturers agree it's dangerous to drive over 35 mph. In fact, some vehicle owner's manuals and/or States will have different rules about speeds and snow chains. My #1 choice is the Konig Self-Tensioning XG12 Pro - Size 245 # TH01594245 because they they are easy...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2021 Ford Transit T250 AWD
    I don't have an exact reason as to why self-tensioning tire chains are not recommended for a 2021 Ford Transit T250 per the owner's manual but we have plenty of manual tension options that will work for you depending on your tire size. It looks like there are only two sizes which can use chains for AWD models, 205/75-16 and 235/65-16 so I have attached options for both of these sizes below. Please note, the chains must only be installed on the rear and they must also be class s rated. 235/65-16:...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge Journey
    I checked the owners manual of a 2013 Dodge Journey and found that due to limited tire clearances with the vehicle you have to use a very low clearance tire chain to prevent damaging the vehicle. The 17 inch tire size that you should have is the 225/65-17. The chains I would recommend that are confirmed to fit your tire size are the Titan Chains # TC2318. These are S rated chains that are designed for vehicles with limited wheel well clearances. I attached a review video for you to check...

  • 2007 Saturn Vue Snow Chain Availability
    If your 2007 Saturn Vue's owners manual says to not use snow chains we can't safely recommend you do so. However, there are a few S rated snow chains available for your tire size that aren't crazy expensive. Part # TC3810CAM, # TC3010, and part # TC2318 are just a few. For your situation the best solution I could recommend would be to get another set of wheels for your vehicle and have snow tires mounted to them. Snow tires are a great solution as they do not require you to get out and...
