A more durable just-in-case option than cables, these low-profile, twist link chains are great for driving in snow or light ice, and they offer a smoother ride than square links. No cams or levers to come loose.

Specs:
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.
If you have a car that requires low-profile chains because of limited clearance, but you need something a bit heavier duty than standard cable chains - which really aren't designed for anything beyond light snow- these chains are perfect. The rounded twist links provide traction in snow and light ice, and they give you a smoother ride than square links. These chains are also far more affordable than those square-link, Class S chains, so you won't have to pay an arm and leg if you only need a durable "just-in-case" option for driving through the mountains.
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. These 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 easy
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chains over your tires, making sure that the prongs attaching the cross chains to the side chains face away from your sidewalls. Drive forward about half a tire rotation.
3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat this on the front of the tire.
4. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

Hard to put on and would not stay centered on the tire. Ended up taking them off as they were coming loose and knocking the wheel well
Kimberly R was excellent too!
Did not use it yet but it looks solid
ETrailer has been extremely dependable and focused on customer satisfaction. Great products and even better service!
as described
Looks as expected. Haven't used them yet. I decided to get a spider adjuster but the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster TCMA2 were not in stock. I had to order them from a different vendor.
Very happy with etrailer web site, ordering, support, notification and product. Easy to follow instructions included in product. Purchased chains for our Honda Odyssey with P235/60R18 tires. Chains easy to install. After a couple fit tests I found I needed to cut the tire perimeter circumferential main chains back to the link holding the last cross tire chain (note: I did not cut the link holding the last cross chain, I cut the next link closer to the chain end thus making the link holding the cross chain the last link. I also cut the last cross tire cross chain at the two links where they attach to the main circumferential front and back chains. This was no big deal as I have a pair of bolt cutters and this is not the first time I have had to fit chains to my tire. Once cut and fitted drove up and down the driveway accumulating several yards driven. I found you will need to retighten after my test which was easy. Have yet to give them the real test in snow.
Didn't get to use the product as the expected delivery date was wrong. The company shipped the item later than required and then wanted to charge me to correct their mistake (ship them back). Expectations were set and not met. Had to buy new chains. I would have paid extra for expedited shipping if I would have known this.

I understand that you are disappointed. Our site gives an estimated delivery date however it is not a guaranteed delivery date. For a guaranteed delivery date you will want to choose the shipping option that deliver in the time frame you need it by.
These are real tire chains, My grand daughter bought some from O'Reilly's during our last snow storm. They were way over price and the metal was soft. I could bend the links with my hand. I found Your chains on line so I purchased them. I received them in short order (fast). They are heavy duty steel and I don't feel they will be like the ones she purchased and break in 5 miles. I'll see that she knows how to put them one right. So glad I found your ad on line.
Chains arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. My tires are the smallest on the size range chart so chains had to be trimmed to length by several inches in order to fit snugly on my tires. Have not used them yet but I see no problems so far.
We just got our first snow for the season of nearly 10 inches. The chains were not needed at this time but will be needed during my elk hunting trip the first part of November. The chains did arrive very quickly and hassle free. Thank you.
Looks great, instruction clear and laminated. Quality chain and connector.
Expect to work well and last long.
I haven’t had a chance to install the product but I’m very happy with this company and the customer service. Quick delivery and helpful staff
