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.
The Konig XB-16 Pro tire chains are great all-purpose, winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice, these Konig chains are perfect because they're durable and easy to mount. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.
These chains are among the easiest and fastest to install because they have built-in tensioners that you can just pull taut to adjust the fit. These tensioners allow the chains to fit your tires, no matter the profile or wear pattern. And because the tensioners are built-in, you never have to worry about losing them like you might with other chains on the market.
Confirming Your Fit
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 these 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 Tire Chains
Installing these chains is incredibly simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in the chains.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the blue cable, which will sit behind the tire.
3. Around front, connect the red hook to the red link.
4. At the bottom of the tire, feed the tensioning chain through the large clip and tug it until it's tight.
5. Feed the tensioning chain through as many red clips along the side chain as you can, leaving room to still be able to stretch the hook across the tire. Attach the hook to the side chain directly across from the last clip you ran the tensioner through. The hook should face away from your tire.
6. Drive forward around 325' (about the length of a football field) and stop. Check the chains and tighten them as needed.
Quick Tips:
- Lengthen the life of snow chains by drying them after each use before you store them.
- Check out our installation kit with safety lights and a kneeling pad (PO34FRK) to make things a little easier when you're installing cables out in the snow.
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.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

Very pleased with this purchase, I've done a few practice runs putting them on my Ram Promaster van but have not had to use them in a real snow situation in this 1st year (very happy with the ease of use factor and snug fit)
by: Colin 01/12/2024
I’ve been running this type of chain on all of my vehicles, including a motorhome for over 25 years they are the best
by: Dung10/30/2023
Great set of chains. I was able to put on in the dark. It was a little trickier taking them off because you need to position the car so the link behind the wheel is accessible, but still easy to do.

The product looks well made and of high quality hope not to need to use them but need it a set for upcoming trip. Fitted for a 2019 RAV4.

Perfect fit, using the sizing guide, for my Promaster 2500 van. Heavier links and more secure tightening system than my previous chains. Love the easy fitting of these chains and no need to pull forward to get them on.

Installed for preparation. Went well. Had one cable connect point turn “in” instead of “out”. Caused chain to not quite fit on tire. Corrected and finished. 15 minutes without the issue. 31’ class C Ford E450.

My wife & I bought these for a wintertime trip to the Maritimes. We found them easy to apply to our front tires. Even though we didn’t get much use due to missing the first snow in Canada on the way back to the US, it is one of the questions you may be asked at the border crossing. Having these chains gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend them.
by: Nathan 01/05/2023
Fits very tight and useful for my applications, great quality
by: Brenda 01/04/2020
I am less than helpful as far as a product review, as I’ve not yet used these.
However, as a company, E-Trailer cannot be beat! I’ve ordered a few things from them, and now consider them my go-to place for car-related and trailer hitch- related things. This time I spoke with Geoff, who was very knowledgeable about tire chains in general and this one in particular. Im confident the product will work well.

I got 2 sets of these snow chains and we survived the great California Winter Storm without too much trouble. We were able to go up to 35mph with these chains in the midst of a blizzard. Installation & Removal were fairly easy. Great Product.
by: Robert04/18/2019
Awesome product. I visited etrailer.com with no knowledge on snow chains for a class A rv. After perusing the website, I was able to find exactly what I needed. I was 100% confident with my purchase. I received it promptly in a compact carrying case.

2017 Mazda CX-5
I was impressed by the great customer service! I have tried the chains on my 2017 Mazda CX5 and the chains appear to fit. My trip to snowy areas is in one week so I haven't tried the chains in the snow as yet, the only reason for my 4 stars instead of 5. I feel confident that they will work if needed. Thank you.
by: M02/01/2022
Theses chains provide great traction on snow and ice. We use them periodically on a Toyota RAV4 for our 20% grade gravel driveway in the Colorado mountains.
by: Adie02/25/2021
Good: Very easy installation. No tools required. The chain case have enough room for gloves & knee pads (I highly recommend) and screw drive & pliers (good to have, just in-case).
Bad: The included instruction lacks information of tire sizes that can be used with this item.

They were exactly what I was looking for thank you for, a great product, fantastic service, and super fast delivery. Two thumbs up.
by: ND09/08/2018
Good product overall, only downside is the install, they are a little difficult to put on.
Used on my trailer while towing on snowy roads.
by: Bernie02/08/2023
The chains are a good design although I have only test fitted them so far. The case keeps the chain handy and easy to sort out if needed. I believe this kit will suit my needs just fine.

- Comparing Thule XB16 and XG12 Pro Tire Chains for a 2014 Mazda CX-5If you imagine that you are on the side of the road, in the cold, wet snow, with other vehicles going by you can probably guess that you would want the chains that are going to be the easiest to install. Something that you won't have to put on, drive a little, and then get out again to adjust. If you go with the XG12 Pro chains for your 2014 Mazda CX-5, # TH01594245, you will have chains that are easier to handle and you won't have to manually adjust them. For me, that is well worth the...

I wasn't quite sure if you were looking for single tire or dual tire chains so I'll add my recommendation for both. For single tires I recommend the Konig XB16 # TH01571245 because they have great quality and used D-Links in a diamond pattern for a consistent ride quality. Then for dual tires I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Chains # TC4219CAM which have a twist link in a...

Some of them do not come up through the vehicle fit guide because the chains that fit that size are also characterized for cars versus trucks or SUVs. So the chains will fit they are just the models that were designed with car tires in mind.

We do offer tire chains that will fit your 20000 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4X4, but are not made in the U.S. Tire chains are based on your tire size. If your tires are 215/85-16, I recommend the Thule XG12 Pro, part # TH01594245. These are self-centering and self-tensioning dual-sided, D-shape links, which are designed for a smoother ride while still gripping in snow and ice. Thule chains are made...

Even though the manual does not specify that you have to use Class S chains I still recommend using them because they require minimal clearance. The Class S chains we have for your 245/50-18 tires are the Thule Low-Pro chains # TH04115245 and the Pewag Snox, # PWSXV580. Between these 2 I recommend the Thule chains because nothing installs faster or easier. If you don't want to...

Some of the tires sizes for these different vehicles overlap so that is why you see both when you enter a tire size or go through the fit guide. I would go with the XB-16 chains, # TH01571245, since they are designed for for RVs. Class S chains require the least amount of clearance around the tire and are typically required on minimal clearance vehicles. The XB-16 chains are not Class S compatible meaning...

If the Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains # TH01571245 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your tire size it will work well for you. You still need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage.

The correct tire chains for your 2013 Ford Flex will depend on which tire size you have.

If that will not tighten your chains appropriately, let me know your tire size so I can confirm you have the correct chains for your tires. These chains fit the following tire sizes: 10.5x20 10x22.5 255/80-22.5 265/75-22.5 275/70-22.5 9x20 If you have one of...

The XB16 requires 16 mm of clearance and the XG12 only requires 12 mm. They are similar styles of chains that use the same principals for install and tensioning but overall the XG12 is a bit easier. This is due to mainly the difference in the tensioning devices. The XG12 has a ratcheting setup on the tensioner which makes...

These will work well for you and won't break the bank. They aren't the best or the worst, but will give you traction when you need it to stay legal and will also not be a pain to install.

For a similar Thule set in the same size check out the Thule Standard XD16 Chains # TH01571245. These are rated for offroad use and should work well for you. Lastly, you will want to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if their are any restrictions on snow chain...

The chain links are constructed of manganese nickel alloy steel for long life and corrosion resistance. The chains are covered by a 5 year warranty. I've linked you to some FAQ articles about tire chains. I hope you'll find them helpful.

These are great chains that will last you a long time and are easy to install.
