Note: These chains are not intended to be put on commercial vehicles like plows, forklifts, tractors, or tow trucks.
Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire (or both tires of a dual-tire setup). You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.
2. Drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution.
3. Fasten the ends of the chain together.
4. Use the cam tensioning devices to tighten. Do this by inserting the flat end of the included wrench into the slot on each cam and twisting it.
5. Drive forward a bit and tighten the chain as needed.
You can use rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to increase the tension on the chains for a tighter fit.
How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire, as shown below.

If you're on the fence about running chains, don't be. I have a north facing driveway that turns into a skate rink. One set of chains allows me to plow uphill, downhill, sideways, or whichever way I need to go. Absolute game changer. Only suggestion is to get yourself a better tool for the turnbuckle. A set of metal chisels from HF is $8. They are heavy duty and easy to throw in a door pocket. Pair it with an adjustable wrench and you'll thank me later.
I am happy with the purchase but I can not make any claims regarding the tire chains since I have been blessed to have not need them yet
etrailer shipping was very fast, ordered on a Friday morning, shipped the same day and recieved on Tuesday of following week (3 working days). Installed on tires, perfect fit. I drove around 2 miles to see how they worked, done what they were suppose to. My only disappointment was "made in China", other than that I am happy with the purchase. Installed on a 2016 Ram 2500HD with 285/60R/20
I test fit them today when they came in. Now I know where exactly to place them so the clamp isn't hitting the rim, as seen in the photo.They are heavy duty and bigger than my previous set. Also, to anyone interested in these, make sure to get heavy duty tie-straps to bind the end of the chain to itself so it is not flapping and smacking your shocks.I will do another review in a couple of months after using these in the mountains.
I have only used these a limited number of times but they got me out of a tricky situation when I needed them
Bought two sets of these chains for my 2018 Ram 2500. My tires are LT285/60R20 and these chains fit like a charm.
Very easy to get onto the vehicle and off of it. Takes about 15 minutes to put on all 4 tires by myself.
Used these in northern NH for a hunting trip. We had about 18-inches of snow on the ground and we traveled logging roads the whole time. These chains got my trunk up a 45° incline covered in fresh 18" of snow. I was amazed that we weren't sliding all over the place. These things grab the snow/ice like claws.
I've recommended these chains to other folks because they are great. They are HEAVY chains, I think about 20+ pounds each. But they are serious chains for serious conditions.
Very, VERY happy with these chains.
Chains arrived at my house in 2 day, super good customer care
Good quality and fits well. Easy to install and goes on just as video shows. Fits my 2022 Ram 2500 AT tires (275/70R18) perfectly.
Love these chains! I have a Jeep JK with 285/70 17s on and I run these all the way around for snow jeeping. The tensioning "doughnuts" are awesome and I have yet to throw a chain, even when romping on it hard. My buddy with a 4-Runner bought vbar chains without the doughnuts and threw them quickly on our last run, while mine ran flawlessly.
The chains are exactly what I need and I received them quickly. Thank you.
Chains arrived in a timely manner ,they fit perfectly,all parts were there.very happy with etrailer
Just got them. I did put them on and they fit. Gave it four stars because the cross links weren’t on all the way.
Looks like it might work for what I need them.
Quick shipping.... good service.... great product! I found hard to find chains for my tire size 285/65/20 for my ram 3500.... they fit very nicely on tires....bring on the snow and mud!
Great service and quick delivery. Chains are top quality.
Have not used yet but they fit well on my 255/80r17 tires
Quick and easy delivery
Fit as advertised on our 33x12.5R15 tires. Appear well built. Do the job for accessing mountain areas in AZ, CA, NV that require chains.
Purchased this for our trip to Alaska. Never had to use them but it was nice to have them just in case. Before we left I installed one and found it easy to install.
Being from SoCal I’m a novice when it comes to tire chains. These chains fit perfectly and the how too videos were spot on.
As always purchasing through E-Trailer has been a great experience.
From their online ordering to communicating my purchase and prompt shipping of my order they excelled. Most other businesses could learn from them.
Thank-you
Arrived very fast, look like sold chain s!
I haven't used the product yet, however the purchasing and delivering process was very easy.
Ordered some vbar chains and the company contacted me the next day to let me know they were back ordered a month. I needed a set of chains to have in case things hit the fan in the mountains. They talked me into ordering another less aggressive set that were in stock. Standard shipping was delayed to to winter weather by ups so they showed up 3 days later. Tried them on that night and they fit like any other cam chain I've used. Install is less then 2 minutes if you know what you are doing. They appear to be stainless so I hope they don't rust after my first use like a pair of chains I bought from a different company. I would buy from etrailer again and am waiting on the vbar set to be delivered. If you need chains in a 4x4 truck you are probably stuck already and if no one else is around, you will want the vbars.

Having heavy duty chains in the vehicle are the only way I take my F250 or Jeep Wrangler off road. My trips off pavement always involve hiking, camping, hunting or a dirt bike trail head in Central WA State. I didnt chain up for a nasty section of road last year in my ford diesel and ended up sliding into deep ruts in slick clay. I was high centered on my frame and only able to get two chains on the rear do to access. Between cutting some small logs to put under the wheels and those chains the truck drove out and I was able to get to where I wanted to set up camp further up the mountain. I try not to use chains but when you dont have another vehicle with you, you have to decide if you are going to turn around or go for it. If you go for it you better be able to get it out or it will be a long walk or wait for the next vehicle. I upgraded to a little larger tires Falkon Wildpeak AT3W and need bigger chains. I dont like the idea of adding links to existing chains because the coverage wont be as uniform and the possibility of creating a weak point. Ill probably get a set of DOT approved chains shortly for our Mountain Passes occasionally chains are required on all vehicles.
Great price and they’re super easy to install. Very happy with my purchase! I haven’t used them in the snow yet, but installing them in the driveway was far easier than I originally anticipated for “legit” chains.
Well they are tire chains for the winter driving..if needed and I lawfully have to carry them on the mountain passes..but hopefully wont have to chain up...
They went on my 2018 Wrangler super easy, and they are heavy duty enough that they get the job done. The cams can come loose if you don't tighten things enough, but after rolling the car forward a bit to even the chains up that's very fixable.
Do you have a question about this Tire Chain?

Couple of weeks after I tried them I found them discoloring and rusting. Only run them a couple of miles to try fitting, I believe it has cheap China coating. You get what you pay for. Have not used this winter because lack of snow in northern Indiana.
