It is possible to put tire chains of your trailer tires. We recommend putting chains on the braking axle only. It will help to add traction and keep your trailer aligned in extreme winter conditions. Some states even have laws that require chains on trailers with electric brakes in areas where chains are required. If chains are required on the vehicle, we highly recommend putting chains on the trailer as well.

Use of any tire chain requires careful matching to the tire size and a check to ensure there are no clearance issues within the fender wells or with other trailer components. Your best bet will be to go with a diamond pattern, drape over chain like the Titan Chain # TC2326. These low profile chains will provide excellent traction and be very easy to install. We would want to confirm tire size prior to ordering. If you are able to send me the size of your trailer tires I am happy to make a recommendation
