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.

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.The bag is in rough shape. Torn handle, covered in stains and dirt. Cable rollers have rust all over them. Entire kit looks used
Cables fit my Bronco Sasquatch LT 315/70R-17 tires just fine. Clearance appears to be okay. Did use tensioners. No opportunity to use them yet. Great price and fast safe shipping.Website useful and informative.
Chains do not come with lever fastener. Wish I had known that before purchasing. Great quality chains. Great customer service.
This is my 4th pair of tire cables. Never have used any of them, just carry them in case. Maybe I should stop buying different vehicles, lol.
Easy to order from etrailer.com. I received my order three days before the scheduled date. they were easy to install and fit great. I have not used them in the snow yet but I am now ready for my February trip.
For a Ram 2021 4x4 with upgraded wheels and snow tires. 275 65 20 so got these just in case it gets really bad or required to have them. Don't anticipate ever using them though.
Great customer service and quick shipping. Good selection of chains/cables. 5 STARS!!!
Haven't had to use them, but they seem like a decent quality. My tire is 325/65R18, the equivlant 35x12.50R18. It fits these tires mostly fine. My concern is that it might be too short to get the best fit. On mine, I was down to the second-to-last ferrule and it felt already tight. I think it may be better if it had more ferrules and closer distance between them. As the truck rolls along and the tire compresses/expands/contracts, it may snap the cable compared to a chain. I have rubber tensioners and that may compound the issue more. Otherwise, it seems like a decent cable if you need lower clearance.
For those with an F-250 with 20” wheels, you know the pain of figuring out what you can and cannot do, according to Ford’s owners manual, for chains/cables. If you live in a state that requires carrying chains (traction devices), figuring out what will work with the 250/350’s can be confusing. I knew I needed cables for the 20”s but couldn’t find the right ones that fit a 275/65r20, so after a few minutes online, I called the 800 number. Great response, very helpful, knew exactly what I needed and was even able to recommend the tensioners I needed. I was able to order them online within 5 minutes. The shipping on etrailers part was exceptional, not so much for UPS, but they still got to me in a very reasonable time. Overall, I’m super pleased with my etrailer online and on phone experience!
You’re probably wondering about the cables I bought? I dunno, they look great, and the bag they came in was a plus, as it fits under the back seats no problem. The F-250 Fx4 really does not need cables, even with the stock Michelin’s ATX, took it up into the mountains with 2-3” new snow and more falling all day and didn’t experience any issues. But I gotta have them legally, so these are the ones I got and I think they’ll do very well if I ever get stuck.
The fit was good. Got here sooner than expected. etrailer. Has the best customer service. Had no idea they carried so many things.
I just received my latest order for snow cables for my new truck. I've been ordering tire chains and cables from etrailer for the past 15 years. They have great service and they always have equipment in stock. Shopping is easy and if I need additional information I just call one of the representatives for help.
I received the correct product that fit my truck ordering process was very nice showing the product on A truck the same year as mine
Have not used yet. Hopefully they won't be needed on my trip but the quality looks good.
