Note: These chains are not intended to be put on commercial vehicles like plows, forklifts, or tow trucks.
Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire (or both tires of a dual-tire setup), making sure that the center chain is between the tires and that the side chain with the lever is on the outside. Drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
2. Reach around behind the tire(s) and fasten the ends of the chain together.
3. Move back to the front of the tire(s) and fasten the ends of the chain together using the built-in lever.
4. Drive forward a bit and tighten the chain as needed by moving the hook to the next link.
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 chains, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire, as shown below.

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the line of Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains. So these chains are going to be for your wide-based tires or even some of your dual tires. These are going to have a low carbon construction, going to be extra hard, and they are going to wear away relatively evenly. It is going to take quite a bit, a couple of seasons, to start noticing that wear. But these twist links are going to get a really good traction, but it's also going to be a little bit smoother than some of those big, chunky square links that you may see.As you can tell here, it is a ladder-pattern style, so it isn't going to be as smooth as some of the less aggressive chains.
But we're looking for the best grip, and these are going to give you pretty much one of the better grips of the more aggressive style chain. But we're still going to get a decent ride, so it's definitely the best of both worlds in my opinion. We don't have any cam tensioners on this style chain, which some people like them, some people don't. Some people have been saying that sometimes they actually come undone whenever it's more thick, harder, icy snow, just because it kind of runs in and then undoes the cams. And also if you guys have the tool and you guys lose it, that might not necessarily be good.
So we won't have that issue here, but we will have to make sure and find our rubber tensioner, which we are going to need with these chains. But that's just one little thing. It's the same as just having to keep track of your cam tensioner tool.It does come in a canvas bag, not necessarily the best bag, but it definitely gets the job done. They both fit in there. That's pretty much what we're looking for.
But these don't necessarily wear. They don't really keep up over time, so after a while you might see them rip a little bit so you might have to go ahead and grab another bag. But they do come in a set of two. So for your two-wheel applications, you guys can just go ahead and grab one. But if you want to put them on all four of your tires, you can just go ahead and grab two.
We do not want to exceed 30 miles an hour, and that's pretty much it.Here's a rubber tensioner. This is what they look like. They're just on our website. If you guys just scroll down on the webpage, it should be in the related parts. It does not come with the kit, but it is a one-stop shop so you don't really have to go anywhere else. All we really need to do is just make sure that the hook is going to be facing the outside of our wheel. And then we just want to do our best to be as symmetrical as we can. This is just going to evenly distribute all of that force throughout the tensioner, which is just going to help it keep it nice and tight. But once we get all that hooked up, we do recommend rolling over them a couple of times, coming back out and then checking and make sure it's still nice and tight. If it is, ready to hit the road. Well, everyone, that just about does it for a look at the line of Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains.

These chains are amazing! I use them on a 12 passenger van and they install very quickly and easily. I have driven on unplowed roads with 2' snow drifts and have hauled trailers through muddy fields without getting stuck. I highly recommend them.
I know iron. 17 yrs trucking, mostly doubles across Montana into the Dakotas. Chained up a lot.
Pictures show what you get with this set I bought for my 2005 Tahoe. Heavy gauge chains w/triple cam locks w/long wrench for excellent leverage to get cams tight. Tight cams mean links don't "slap" pavement which causes increased wear. They arrived today so not used yet. However, for my application they will last a lot longer than those cheaper; light gauge, "disposable" chains, use once and throw away after you pay a tow bill.
The first trip I used them on, one of the chains snapped and shredded the inside of my fender as well as some damage to the outside. I was willing to give benefit of a doubt that it was a one time fluke. Called and tried to return and/or exchange. etrailer.com wanted me to pay for the shipping back even though it was within the 30days of purchase. The shipping would of cost me more than half of what I paid for them. Even after a couple of customer care calls and emails, etrailer.com still refused to pay the shipping to exchange them.
Chains looked good. After watching installation video it was a breeze to put on. They fit perfect. I’m only testing them right now so when I need to use them I’ll be more comfortable. I drove 1:2 mile down & back and the chains hadn’t moved.
These chains fit perfectly on my 2022 F-150 with LT265/70R18's. Easy to mount, with adequate clearance.
I bought a pair of twist link (TC3235) for my front tires and V-Bars (TC3835) for my rear tires, so writing a combined review. The V-Bars have more traction but my front end doesn't have as much clearance so I opted for the twist links in the front. I've now used these offroad 4 times, and once briefly onroad during a major ice storm that left all of our roads with skating rink type ice.
First - both chains fit 37" x 12.5 R18 tires perfectly. This is despite the fitment not being listed on etrailer.com and the etrailer CS rep telling me they wouldn't fit. The Titan catalogue / website does list 37x12.5R18.
Second - two pair of chains *just* fit in a milwaukee packout "Compact Tool Box" (model No: 48-22-8422). There isn't a wasted inch of space. After using them, I dry them in my garage, then douse them in WD-40 before putting them back in the packout. These chains are made from an alloy that prioritizes strength over corrosion resistance, so surface rust appears pretty quickly on them. Be warned that lifting all four chains together is heavy.
Third - They give amazing offroad traction. The only way you're getting stuck is by getting high-centered. You will not run out of traction if you have weight on your tires. However, it is easy to get high centered when using these in the snow if you aren't careful. Don't spin your tires, or your axles and frame rails will be holding the vehicle while your wheels hang in the air.
Fourth - I would only recommend using these onroad in very limited circumstances. During an ice storm I had to get a neighbor to the hospital. We live on an extremely steep hill and the roads had 1" of clear ice on them. With the chains it was like the ice wasn't there. But the whole truck vibrated a lot. And it probably prematurely wore the chains. If I drove faster than ~15-20 mph it really rattled the truck. (offroad in the snow I'll drive 40+ mph no problem with these. but driving on hard surfaces causes a lot of vibration).
I really appreciate the great service and really fast delivery. My go to for my trailer parts and chains.
First time purchasing tire chains I must say this Titan product is pretty heavy duty I like the chrome finish I’m running a BFG all terrain 32x11.5 R15 the fit was perfect I would like to give a shout out to etrailer customer service team very professional & knowledgeable new exactly what chain was needed having provided lots of choices and option's that was important to me there shipping was very fast impressed caught me by surprise there communication was great keeping us informed the entire process they surely deserve this 5 star review thank you
Needed these chains for a snowboarding trio this December. Installed them in my yard to make sure they fit, and figure out which link worked best. Now that i know what link to use, next time it should only take sbout 10 min to put them on. I really like how they stay away from my wheels so should not scrstch them. My yard was very soft from recent rain and you can see how well the chains dig into the mud. Should be really good on snow/ice.
Very tight to get on but I found I do not require the tensioner. Very good product.
I got to use them one time. The chain links that are horizontal a few of them popped off
My Titan Chain Low Profile Tire Chains arrived on time and fit great. They were exactly as described. Luckily I did not have to use them at all last winter, but I did a test run and they were relatively easy to install and tighten. Having these in the trunk of my van allow me to stay in compliance with state "chains required" regulations and provides me with peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product. Customer service has been great.
Delivery was excellent; chains and tensioners arrived one day ahead of the promised date. They appear very well made, the price was competitive and shipping was free. erailer communicated very well all through the process, from ordering to notification of shipping to follow-up after receipt. I did a dry-run installation and it went exactly as the online video showed. Looking forward to trying them out in snow! I would recommend etrailer to anyone in need of snow chains.
I used these on a 2wd open diff F150 with a camper. The traction difference is amazing! I never lost traction! If you’re on a pass that warns “chains or AWD”, don’t go without chains or off road tires. I puttered along at 30 in the unplowed lane watching a clown in an AWD BMW slide everywhere in the plowed slush, holding up traffic.
Anyway, the chains themselves. I’ve used diamond pattern chains with a cable on the inside and fancy nonsense on the outside before. The cable always collects snow, and the multiple connections on the outside is confusing. These ladder chains were easy and simple to put on and take off. I used tensioner bungees also. You will get a bumpy ride, but it smooths out as you speed up. Anyone that claims ladder chains don’t have lateral grip hasn’t used them and doesn’t understand the physics of why chains help.
Great for going up a pass periodically, but not something I’d use daily.
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
Great service. Very fast delivery. Also bought a trailer hitch recently also had excellent service.
Delivered fast, popped these on to get gamiliare with them and actyally tested them out on a road that was snow packed solid ice, my truck would not spin... i tried to make it, but the chains would not allow it in my situation. Yes chains ride rough.. real rough to be honest, but its better than not making it to your destination. They are heavy ( a big pro) feel like excellent quality and would recommend them to anyone who lives in a state that allows them.
I got these snow chains for my 2022 Ram 1500 4x4 with 275/55-20 tires and they fit perfectly. Hopefully I'll never use them, but they add an additional layer of confidence when traveling in deep snow or needing them to rescue a stuck vehicle in the snow. I like the cam tensioners also keep them tight.These are a lightweight snow chain and not intended for continuous use.
The Titan snow tire chains that I purchased from etrailer.com fit perfectly on my 2020 Silverado 2500 HD 4x4.
Works great on front wheel drive car, just make sure if you hear them hitting something stop and check on them.
As usual with E-trailer correct items were easy to order, quickly shipped, tracking was provided and items dry fit perfectly. Thanks to all your staff.
Heading west and knew I would need tire chains for the trip. They offered what I needed and were sent out quickly.
These are the heavy duty chains that can’t be found at most tire or ag supply stores. Had them in 3 days. I did add a cross link as I thought the gap was a bit far where they hook together but it wasn’t totally necessary.
The titan chains arrived earlier than expected, by a day! I inspected them and installed them with no issues. Thank you very much!
Chains seem to be made top quality. Only test fit them so far with perfect fit on a 35x12.5 r18 tire. Hopefully I dont have to use them but the security of having them and knowing the quality and fit is great is worth it.
