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.

How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle
To choose the right snow chains, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire, as shown below.

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.Order 2 pairs for my car, got 2 different cables, one set blue the other set green. You can tell instantly because the bags are blue and green and oddly the different colors weight different amounts. Emailed customer service to get cables that match and they said that the label invoice number are the same on both bags, So it's the same product. So if you don't care that you can get 2 different colors from ordering 2 sets in the same order you can try for these.
4 stars only because I just got them and have not used them. Nice bag, looks like a great pair of emergency cable chains for that rare snow/ice storm.
The chains went on easily in dry conditions to practice installing. I have not used them on snow yet. I only expect to use them for short periods of snowy conditions on my Ford Transit. And I liked the price.
Titan Chain Cables are great quality and so easy to use. We were able to intuitively put them on and take off quickly. Etrailer has the best prices I've seen after researching.
Also, they have the BEST customer service, specifically Jane S. & Tammie P. I was not familiar with cables and our Subaru had specific clearance requirements. They made sure I received the correct type, fit and clearance for my car.
We highly recommend!
I'm pretty disappointed in my experience. I lost a chain the first time I used it even though I followed the instructions. Can't speak to how well it works if it doesn't stay secured.

Even though it is not included with the purchase of the chains, we highly recommend some rubber tensioners, like part # TCMA1, to add some extra security. If you watch the installation video on our product page, our installer shows that these are hand tightened, so to add some extra security, you will want to use a tensioner and also drive the vehicle back and forth to adjust the chains and get a tight fit.
Nice looking chains.
Product arrived quickly and was easy to install. Best of all the price was great and the free shipping helped seal the deal. Thanks etrailer!
The product worked great and was easy to install. I would have given 5 stars if it was not for the rubber adjuster breaking off one of its arms while installing although it still worked with one arm missing. Note: the rubber adjuster was an accessory and a must have when installing the chains. Thx etrailer !!!
Tire chains arrived Wed. p.m. - right on schedule. The young lady in Missouri who took our tire chain order was extremely helpful in making certain we were getting the correct size chains for our van. Today, October 10 we are heading to the mountains in central Colorado.... there is snow falling at this time. Hopefully snow will melt enough we will not need to open the package of tire chains! Would be great if these chains were still in the box 5 years from now when we will be done making trips to Colorado to watch a grandson play football!
The product (tire chains) was delivered right on schedule, included reusable zip cases and was exactly like advertised.
Next step is to try them on the vehicle (detailed installation instructions were included with the product) to make sure they fit properly.
Have nothing but good things to say about eTrailer.com so far as they delivered as expected.
I will use this product soon on my trip to Big Bear. Based on the quality of material that the product made off I'm very confident with by purchase. Also I would like to thank for exceptional customer service that George, Lisa, and Erika had provided me. They have been monitoring the status of my order and providing me latest update of it. Big thanks to you guys and Etrailer for such a service.
Good customer service and all you products are fantastic the way you show you videos how putting on are cars or how to istall the parts iam sorry that I didn't have time to take video of how I put my cables chains to my vehicle because the weather condition
Product arrived sooner than expected, as described. Very prompt service from etrailer with shipping notifications and follow ups. Excellent service from a first rate company. If I need something in the future I will look here first. Thank you
Great product and affordable. The hardest part is not installing it on the tires but “how to put it back in the small casing”..otherwise, its excellent product
I received the package within 3 business days. The product fits on my tires and after I watched the tutorial on your page it was easy to install. Thank you etrailer and if I ever need anything else I will check your website first.
Product arrived on time and looks great. I have yet to try them on the vehicle.
I wish every business I dealt with were like etrailer. Great products, great communication, super fast shipping and handling. Truly a model business!
Have not been able to use the actual car chains I ordered.
Received excellent and very responsive service in response to my telephone call.
Very happy with the service and product.
High quality but not the simplest to install, especially in emergency situation.
Affordable, great construction, relatively straightforward installation
They were the right size and easy to in stall.
I’m sure these are excellent but so far we have not had to use them!
I really like your service the best more so than the product... I will definitely tell my friends about you and recommend you to everyone I know...thank you. John Koponen..
Bought a set of chains and the price was very reasonable. I was notified promptly of each stage in the processing and the overall experience was as expected, excellent. Thanks!
Fast shipping, good price and great customer service.

I did reach out to the manufacturer who confirmed that the storage bag is changing from blue to green. Our stock of chains will have mixed bags for a short time until the transition in color is completed.
