These low-profile, lightweight cable chains are great for driving in light snow. Perfect for those trips where you need chains "just in case." Designed to fit passenger vehicles with tight clearance around the wheels.

Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
These chains are great for giving you a little extra traction in the snow. 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. Drape the chain over the tire or lay the chain out and drive onto it.
3. Reach around to the back of the tire and fasten the rear side cable by running the end with the metal stops through the eye of the hook on the opposite end.
4. Run any excess side cable through the metal clip.
5. Repeat this process on the front side of the tire.
6. Drive forward 1 car length, then check the chain and hand tighten it again if needed.
Rubber adjusters (sold separately) are recommended to help ensure a tight fit. Connect these to the front side of the cable in a star pattern. Make sure the hooks face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.

Chains are a great product for the price, and performed great while driving up in the Big Bear Mountains.
Will not be using the chains until a trip to Colorado next month. M
Haven't had a chance to use the tire cables.will wait for some snow .. etrailer always has my back with the best products at the fairest price and fast shipping..if I ever have a problem I know they will be there to help. Thanks etrailer
These tighteners were purchased as a second, backup pair to those that came with the tire cable set that I purchased on the same order.
The cable tire chains were purchased for a 2016 Honda HR-V to be equipped to travel in the often snow / ice covered highways to and from the ski resorts of Colorado.
I haven't been required to use them yet so I can't comment on their ease of use nor reliability.
I have not used the product yet (with my Subaru Forester I may never have to, just have to carry them in the car to get through the chain zone) but I want to share about the excellent customer service at etrailer.com. I needed cables asap for a trip that was right around the corner and the folks who helped me on the phone found the right product for my vehicle and made sure I got it on time. Very positive experience. Thank you!
I purchased some cables and tensioners. They look great, but I have not used them, so this review is on etrailer.com specifically. Bottom line, they were great!
Their site was easy to use. It provided a nice video of how to attach the cables and their attention to the shipment was outstanding.
Chains came on time as scheduled.
The chain package came with a copy of the warranty and instructions for installation
I also purchased new tensioners that were delivered .
I also purchased a pair of tensioners to complete the instalation
ONline ordering was a breeze! Chains arrived at dinner time but looked great and the correct tire size. Tomorrow, when the rain has stopped, I'll put them on the car for the experience of being ready. Living in No. Calif. there's always a small chance that my travels will get snowed on. I'll be ready
Seem to fit nice and snugly on our 2010 Toyota Sienna with the TCMA1 Tire Chain Adjuster bungees.
Works well for vehicles with minimal wheel clearance. Provides exellent traction for a low price.
Really happy with my chains! As much as I hate putting on chains, these chains are high quality and easy to put on. Really appreciate the included instructions!
As expected. Fortunately I have not had need to use them yet.
They work real good when there is ice under the snow.
Haven't used it yet. Product looks good so far. However, I had to pay about $31 for 3 day shipping, which I think is a steep price to pay.
Have not had to use product yet, but all items fit nicely & were easy to install.
Easy to install. Stays on. Works well. Used in a blizzard in Tahoe.
Easy, fast ordering and delivery. The videos were very helpful in choosing the right chains for my needs.
I purchase from etralier often and stand behind there products. Never disappointed!
Great Customer Service!
