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

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.I’m going to write these as a one before I even use them because each trailer sent me a used set. This is unacceptable that they would sell me something brand new and send a use set the bag is all beat up. They are clearly marks on the chains as they have been used before, I’ve ordered products from them before and they’ve never done this to me. In addition on the website, it says that these fit the size of tire that I have 275, 7018, but on the label on the side of the bag, it does not list that size.
Great product, fits as advertised & easy to install.
I haven't had to use the chains in snow yet, but I have checked and they fit my tires well. The only confusion is that the instructions refer to a lever for tightening the chains when attaching them, but there is no lever. So there is no difference between the chains on the inside of the tire and the outside of the tire.
Fortunately haven't had to use these on a trip yet but I've tested them in the driveway and off road and they went on and off very straight forward and completely doable by yourself. I'm 5'5 and work a desk job but was able to get these on and off solo. (I do recommend putting a small tarp or canvas drop cloth in with your kit as it does require you to be down in the ground) I also chose to add the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster and though it's probably not necessary I did feel like it made the system extra secure and was a nice addition if your tire doesn't fit quite as perfect.
I promptly took these out of the box when delivered and installed one on my 4X4 RAM 2500 Diesel and it fit well. The sizing lugs and locks are very heavy duty as is the steel tubing (rollers) that is part of the traction cables. There are very good quality and arrived a week earlier than the order stated.
I have not had the chance to use the cables in the snow but the cables are very easy to install and fit the tires perfectly.
As always, etrailer is the best. Great service and delivery is fast. The chains fit my 2017 Ford F-150 perfectly. I run 285/70/17 on a stock aluminum wheel.
Really fast service and I was notified of the orders progress often. Great service and as always the products were just as advertised. Thanks etrailer I'll be back !
I received the chains today in very good condition. Right on time but the snow is gone.
They look very heavy duty and I will try them out as soon as I find some snow.
Have not used yet but sent an email for some details and they were awesome. Service was great. Will definitely use etrailer in the future.
We purchased the chains just in case we needed them while going on out ski trip. We never needed them and never used them so I don't know how well they work. I'm giving 5 stars though for the customer service we received when we purchased the chains.
Very good quality. Looking forward to using them! Thank you!
Great service and shipping notification s.
Prompt ship, good product
Quick shipping and delivery...
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.
The bag is in rough shape. Torn handle, covered in stains and dirt. Cable rollers have rust all over them. Entire kit looks used
Now that the holidays and medical scares are over. The chains came sooner than expected. I was able to fit them to the trailer tires! So we are ready for more snow! I read that vehicles with trailers over 10,000 lbs have to have chains for one axle of the trailer, (when chains are required). Hopefully I won't have to use them!
THANK YOU ETRAILER!
Please discontinue this product, putting these ( rolling cylinders, NOT CHAINS ) on my tires,was like trying to walk on roller skates, they absolutely do not work.
Just received my chains yesterday. I have to say, first of, customer service is EXCELLENT! I had questions on which chains were best for my SUV and I was promptly responded with suggestions and links to videos. I went with these tire cables for my 2015 Dodge Durango SXT Plus. There was question about clearance issues with brake lines on the Durango and these seem to be very low profile and made for lower clearance. The price was right too. I did a dry install today and it was a breeze. Took way longer to fold these back up and put back into the storage bag! Lol! (That's not these chains fault, it's user error...) I took some pictures but note it was my first time installing tire cables so I'm going to have to center them a bit more. I purchased the Titan chain multi arm rubber chain adjusters and they did make a difference on how snug the cables fit, so I would recommend them. We only plan on using them on very rare occasions when we venture up the mountain, so in sure if you live where it snows all the time, you will probably look at higher prices chains, but I think these are perfect for the occasional use. I will update after our Big Bear trip if we use them to reflect actual use. Thank you etrailer, they also upgraded my shipping to get here a couple days earlier just because... that was amazing!

I am sorry that your chains arrived in this condition. I do see that these are a confirmed fit for the 275 7018 size tires. As for the marks, we do test fit the chains in house at times; this would explain the condition. We try to make sure everything is put back the way we found it, and that it appears as it would have from the factory. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to look into a solution for you.
