These heavy-duty, ladder-pattern, manganese nickel alloy chains are durable and corrosion resistant. The square links give you excellent traction in snow plus great grip on ice. Cam tighteners let you quickly adjust the fit for simple installation.

Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire and drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
2. Fasten the ends of the chain together.
3. Use the cam tensioning devices that are built into the side chain to tighten. Do this by inserting the flat end of the included wrench into the slot on each cam and twisting it.
4. Drive forward a bit and tighten the chain as needed.
You can use rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to increase the tension on the chains for a tighter fit.

etrailer delivered these quickly, as always. The chains themselves are pretty good, but not perfect. The chains look nice when new, but the finish wore off immediately on the first use, which led to rust immediately. Maybe that's expected? The storage bag is fine for shipping, but not great for storing, so have a plan for that. My biggest issue is that the cam tightening wrench that came with the chains is really soft metal and twisted badly on the first install (not much pressure IMO). I do't trust it now as it will likely break...it's twisted bad. I also ordered the TCTH3 wrench with the chains as it was listed as an accessory. The flat doesn't fit into the cams, it's too big. Not good to figure this out in the field. Luckily I had two sets of chains so I was able to use the wrench from the other set to remove the chains.
To summarize, the chains themselves work fine as chains, just wish they had a better finish. The cam wrench is terrible...not sure what to do about that yet. The accessory wrench doesn't fit the cams.
Haven't installed it, but ordering through eTrailer is an exceptionally good process. Free shipping and no tax made this a much better value than going through local retail. Shipping was a few days and delivered to my door. Research through local suppliers requires them to order model-specific products and it takes them a few days and at least two trips to their store -- this is a much better process. The instructional videos, reviews, and product details are spot on and more helpful than the manufacturers' site. Plugging in my vehicle loads up recommendations that fit my vehicle -- other retailers make you use filters and I'm less confident the product is specific for my make, model vehicle.
I have used the chains twice in deep snow and they held up and worked well.
These tire chains are very heavy duty and work great! Etrailer's shipping time is fabulous.
I trusted the good reviews and they were true, A+ Thanks etrailer and everyone for your feedback.
The tire chains that I ordered were better than I expected. Pleasent Suprise
Have not been able to use them just yet, will do a test fit here in the next couple of days. I was pleased with the shipping and delivery, my house is hard to find if you do not enter the entire address so I appreciate the quality of shipping arranged. Both items were on time and not damaged. These appear fit properly based off of visuals and are in good condition.
Great chains. Well made. Great fit. I do not need them often but when i do they are easy to put on and work flawlessly. I have owned these for 1 year. These will probably last me a lifetime.
The chains are more than I expected. More heavy duty than what I thought I would be getting A little oversized but easy enough to cut down for a perfect fit
I was very happy with the service Plenty of communication and received more order promptly. Will be ordering more stuff from this business.
A quality product MADE IN THE USA
The product is perfect for wht I need. I ordered a specific size for my truck thinking it was gonna fit perfect but I had to remove some links to size it smaller. Not sure if thats normal but they fit perfect now
excellent product these are heavy duty chains...will last longer than my truck
Great product, does exactly what it was designed to do.
We at Penn Twp Berks County Love them!!! They’re easy to install. Love the tightening cams. The two original sets we purchased have held up nicely. Only had to make one repair which was the hook that attaches the cross chain to the main chain. The chains we used in the past seemed to be needing a repair every few runs. So with that being the case we just purchased two more sets just to have on hand. Thank you for an excellent product!!!
I have used these chains in Colorado on an icy road towing a trailer and in muddy conditions towing a much larger truck and trailer out of a muddy circumstance. The chains were easy to install - even in the mud and ice and performed fabulously. Make sure you tighten them up well. I have loved these chains.
Seem like good quality but they are too big for my 35x12.5r20 tires. It says they fit that size but they are very loose even with the hook and tensioner on the tightest link and all the cams tightened down even after driving a little with them installed. I have the rubber tensioners which help but I think the cam tensioners are going to come loose. Not feeling great about trying to use them for real in the snow. I figured these would fit great since the etrailer installation video for this chain had the exact same size tires.
Have not used them yet. To warm in the North east right now. Very nice chains. I'm sure they will work. Could us a carry bag though. I'll buy a small tool bag for them...
Seems to fit well and easy to install. A little practice to get the fit right. Heading up to Mammoth, looks like they are expecting about 4 feet of snow.
We purchased these chains for our Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 conversion. I only did a dry fit so far. I can say that these square link chains are heavy duty and appear well made. Cam tighteners snug the chains down tight and the adjusters should keep everything in place. I'll update after use.

I have used the chains in heavy snow and I am more than satisfied with their performance.
