Class S Designation

SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Certain newer cars, vans and small trucks, especially those with large, aftermarket tires, may require Class S chains.

SAE Class S Clearance Diagram

These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:

  • A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
  • B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle

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.

Tire size on sidewall

185/60-15

  1. (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
  2. (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
  3. (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

      Always excellent customer service with etrailer.co My first set of cable chains arrived quickly and fit perfectly. Be sure to order the rubber adjusters. They are very convenient, worth every penny. This is my second set of cable chains, the first for a front wheel drive Venture, the 2nd for an AWD Safari. Even though it's AWD, the cable chains on the rear really improve traction. Be sure to always follow the manufacturer's "speed limits" when using this product to prevent catastrophic failure!

      The tire cables look to be of quality. Have yet to use them. The bag they cam in looked nice, until I un-zipped the bag and the whole zipper assembly came apart in my hand. Had to use needle nose pliers to open the zipper. Other than that one default everything else seems to be in order. Fast shipping 25877

      No question that these cables get the job done. Saved Christmas, went 30 miles in AWD Pacifica with all 4 wheels in cables. Handles snow pack perfectly. Also returned home to 12" powder on steep driveway(15 degree with hairpin turns) and unloaded all passengers in the garage!! Nothing less than amazing, assuming the driver has experience with snow conditions. I now have similar cables for both other vehicles. Don't forget the rubber tensioners, keeps everything secure and quiet.6352

      • What is the Recommended Speed When Using Glacier Cable Snow Chains PW1038.
      • I checked with my contact at Glacier Chains, and the recommended speed when using a cable snow chain like # PW1038 would be between 25 and 30mph. You may also use rubber adjusters # PW100 for a snug fit on your 2000 Mercury Marquis.

      • How To Install Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1038 On My 2002 Toyota Sienna
      • To install the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW1038, you will want to drape the tire chain over the tire and then slowly drive forward over the chain. Then connect the hook to a link in the chain on each side of the wheel so the chain is snug. I have linked a video installation of another model of the Glacier chains to show the installation procedure (see video link). I would also recommend using the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, part # PW100, which will take any extra slack out of the t

      • Do the Glacier Snow Chains Include Rubber Tensioners
      • You will need to purchase Glacier Rubber Adjusters # PW100 separately from the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1038 as they are not included. I attached an FAQ article on snow chains for you to check out also. You should also consult the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on using snow chains that you should be aware of.
