If you've driven in bad winter weather, then there's no doubt you've experienced the unsettling feeling of your vehicle sliding during turns or bends in the road. Conquer turns and winding country roads with these cable chains from Titan Chain. The diagonal pattern provides better traction during turns than traditional ladder patterns, and because there is always a cable in contact with the ground, it will increase your stopping power too. You won't have to worry about finding the right tensioners either - tensioners designed specifically for these cables are included, ensuring a tight fit.
If you need a little extra traction in the snow, these cables are great. But if you live somewhere where you experience heavy snow often, you'll definitely want something more heavy duty than cables. Because these cable chains are lightweight and don't take up a lot of storage space, they are also perfect for keeping in your trunk if you occasionally travel through areas that require you to have chains on hand.
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's user manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. Even low-profile chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Installing these chains is simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the rear cable.
3. Around front, slide the cable at the top of your tire through the corresponding eye hook. Repeat at the bottom of the tire.
4. Pull the cable as tight as you can, then clip the included rubber adjuster onto the cable in a star pattern. Make sure the hooks on the adjuster face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.

I have not had to use the tire cables as the vehicle I bought them for is 4x4. I’m sure they will work just fine if needed
These chains were a lifesaver! Our ski trip to Mt. Hood Meadows was only possible because of these chains. Oregon has strict chain laws, but rental car companies will not rent you chains. Because we were to arrive in Oregon the day after Christmas, when no tire stores would be open, I had to figure out an alternate plan. After lots of research to determine which rental car make/model we were likely to get and the most common tire sizes on those vehicles, I purchased these light and portable chains and we brought them with us from the East coast. Other reviewers indicated these chains were easy to install & remove, and we can confirm they are! The folks at etrailer were really helpful when I emailed. And the website is extremely user-friendly, with videos showing installation and a quick and easy way to determine the most likely tire sizes on a vehicle. Thank you etrailer for making our holiday ski trip possible!
Solid product. I used these chains while traveling in Wyoming and Colorado back country roads on my 2018 XLT Ford Sport 4 x 4. Easy on off. Having storage bags is great. You will not go wrong with these chains
Used on 2018 Lincoln Navigator. Experienced with chains and winter driving. Took about 5-7 minutes per tire to install in driveway. Used once so far in real conditions, took about 15 minutes total for two tires. Performed well in compact snow and ice. Pretty smooth ride as far as chains go, but I only went max of 40mph. 4 stars because of dismount. To take off, you need to have the chain as close to the finished install position or it can get hung up behind the tire when you are taking it off. Since chains slip a little during driving and braking, this meant getting one side in position, taking it off, then moving the vehicle to get the other chain in the correct position. Definitely helps if you have two people for this. I would recommend this product.
Easy to put on and take off and does what it is supposed to do.
Excellent service! Arrived ahead of schedule and they kept me informed of the delivery updates as they occurred. Also, sent me a notification when the package arrived. Can’t ask for more than that! Thank You!
Nice cable chain set and etrailer had a great price. I appreciate the storage bag.
Had to use once. Worked great
Luckily, I have not had to use them yet. I’ve taken them from the green bag.
The green bag is excellent for storage and putting them on the truck.
just what i needed
Excellent service and fast delivery
To be clear, I have not used the tire chains in snow yet. But etrailer's info they provided, clear communication, and speedy delivery were fantastic. I put the tire chains on using their helpful video and had zero problems despite this being my first time ever.

Haven't used tire cables yet … but … did install one to check the fit and look. And the thing fit perfectly on my 2019 F150 with 245/70r17 tires. Even look pretty good too! I especially like that the cables can be put on as the truck sets - no need to lay them out and back over them. And the carrying bag is nice - keeps everything together and able to be stored under a seat, in the bed, or wherever. I thought about getting chains with v-bars … but didn't think I needed anything that aggressive - so the tire cables ought to do just fine in deeper snow, packed snow and maybe even on ice.
The only thing better than the snow chains was the the ease of ordering. An excellent company! They have gotten me home safe in the worst storms!
Fit our new Honda Pilot perfectly!
I haven't tried them in the snow yet, and hope I never have to, but they're super-easy to install in my driveway. The communication with and service from etrailer was beyond great.
We purchased these in 2023 and they worked perfectly for our snow trip to flagstaff. The customer service we received was amazing as well. Thank you.
These were mounted on a 2017 Fiat 500 Sport. Last February we drove from Quartzsite Arizona thru Santa Fe New Mexico to Denver, Boulder, and then spent 3 weeks in Aspen Colorado before heading west back to Quartzsite. In Aspen it snowed nearly every day and I put the chains on and removed the chains multiple times. By the third cycle I had the installation wired and could install them on the side of the road in a raging blizzard in less than 5-6 minutes - with gloves on. Great product that worked incredibly well. We could have never done the trip without them.
