Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Titan chain alloy snow tire chains with cam tensioners.Just to give you my two cents on tire chains, these ladder pattern styles for these bigger wheels are kind of the same, in my opinion. Some are more aggressive, some are a little bit smoother of a ride. But one that these stand out is the coating that they have. First of all they look cool in my opinion, but also it's going to be that great A coating, so it's going to be a little bit stronger than some of those other ones that are just going to be that treated steel.This is going to have some square links, and they're all going to be uniform throughout all of the chains, so they're going to wear pretty evenly.
Also, it does have a manganese-nickel alloy coating on them, so it's going to be extremely strong, so they'll wear evenly and this lasts a long time. Usually when there's snow on the ground, there's probably salt that follows, so it's going to protect against that as well.It is a ladder pattern style, but these cross chains, they're going to give you optimal stopping and starting traction, and even if you have them on your front, you're going to be able to turn pretty well, too. Also, not only do we have one tensioner down here, but just to make it super simple, they come with an actual tool, it comes with the kit, and you can tighten these just to adjust to these tires, or if you have a similar set, you can adjust to those as well.Another thing that we might want to do, we recommend it, is to grab one of these rubber tensioners. It does not come with our kit, but it's definitely something that I would put on just to ensure that they don't come loose while you're driving. You kind of just do your very best to make them as even as possible.
And once you're done there, you're pretty much ready to get out of whatever situation you're in or just get back on the road and have plenty of traction to stay safe.Well everyone, that just about does it for a look at the Titan chain alloy snow tire chains with cam tensioners.

Alloy square-link chains give you excellent grip and stopping power on ice and great traction in snow or mud. Ladder pattern assists with effective starts and stops. Cam tighteners let you quickly adjust the fit for simple installation.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...
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.
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.
etrailer is excellent as always. Superfast shipping.
I was conserned about 5.5 mil chains but these will never break. Cross links are amaizing
These square link will never break. HD I do not think I would want to go very far on the highway. They are stout
Great product; great customer service; great website and videos - setting the bar pretty high for the competition
First time to ever put on chains. Took me less than 10 min to figure it out and install. Easy on easy off and easy storage. Price was great. Shipping was extremely fast and 2 follow up emails from customer service to make sure I was happy. etrailer is a great company
Used in a foot of snow in NW CO and I got up and down every road that we went on.
Chains are great. Turn 3/4 ton truck into a mountain goat/tractor. Will take you anywhere. Heavier than buddys chains and the square links that make them bite better than round links ride rougher when you hit clear pavement. I would say these are best for offroad, dirt road, covered roads scenario and not great for people who are gonna spend most time riding over a plowed road, where the “slinky stretched over rubber cable” design excels.
REALLY great set of tire chains. Easy to put on.
etrailer is a GREAT company to order from.
I received my order on the 2nd day. great response time. haven't open it yet, winter is a little ways off so i won't Know my satisfaction or dislike till that time comes I plan on this weekend to put both, the blind spot mirrors, and my boat mirror on. I live in Florida so I will know about the boat mirror soon. I bought a little Jeep wrangler for my son who lives in upstate NY (Adirondack mts.) . he owns a restaurant up there and when it snows they charge him a pretty penny to plow it.so I got to get the jeep up there, buy and install a plow for it and walla! thank you for your concern! i'll let you know how it all shakes out.
First order of product arrived damaged and snow chains were rusty and appears to be used product. I contacted etrailer and they responded immediately. I had to send photo's which was understandable. They responded within the next day, and sent instructions for return of product and sent out replacements. I received the replacements in 5 days. Chains are in good condition and appear to be unused and new. Have not tried them out, and it looks like it may be a while before we have snow arriving in our area. I will be returning the first order immediatly and thank etrailer for quick and easy solution.
Getting ready for winter, searched the web and local tire shops for tire chains for my 2019 Toyota Tundra. I found that etrailer.com had the best prices on the above chains plus FREE SHIPPING out to Oregon. The chains arrived on the day they stated. After ups dropped them off I installed them on the Tundra to make sure of a good fit. They fit perfectly. I'll be doing more business with etrailer.com in the future! Thank you Rick
Heavy duty tire chains really worked well in our snowy area. They are fairly easy to put on, and they really grip the snow, with their square chains in the gripping area. They are made of high-quality materials, and the side chains are plated. The unique adjusters are very cool, and eliminate the need for bungees to keep things tight. I am very satisfied.
Received the chains promptly and I feel, for a very fair price. The day after the chains were delivered I got a text from my son with photos, both he and his girlfriend had been successful elk hunting in the mountains. He secured permission from a landowner to allow me to drive in to get closer for retrieving their 2 bulls. With a foot of snow on ice, the chains did a wonderful job getting us out and providing a secure feeling on the otherwise treacherous mountain two track. I chained up in front only (as I normally do) unless I’m in very deep snow. The cams tightened the chains well but I always use tensioners anyway for added insurance. Great job as always etrailer! Many thanks!
Awesome set of tire chains! One Winter in the books so far for these chains and they have held up well. The cam adjusters are just the ticket to keep them tight, but I still throw on a set of rubber adjusters, for even more piece of mind.
To be honest, I have a 4 x 4 and so the chains are a backup item and more for off road applications. I used them once so far, and they performed very good - easy to put on and gave me a lot of extra traction. I also like the cam tightening feature as it makes larger chains easier to get tight. I would anticipate them to do the same again and am sure they will last me several years.
Fit nicely on 275 65 R18 Silverado. These bailed me out just today! I ordered a pair and dry fitted them on the front of my truck and there is plenty of clearance. I ordered two more so I will be able to chain up all four wheels. Can't testify to their durability, but they appear well built and they are simple to put on with the cam adjusters. Happy with the purchase.
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.
They fit very very snug and looks like they won’t break the brake line off my Ram. I did have to bend 2 cross links open and un twist 2 links of the outside chain which I believe was a manufacturing mess up causing one of the cams to dig sideways into the side wall. After that it fit a bit better and won’t damage my tire. Overall very well built and good quality! I would recommend these to anyone who has a Ram! Just check the way it fits before hitting the snow.
