How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

Tire size on sidewall

185/60-15

      Video Transcript for Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains Review - 2011 Ford Expedition

      Today on our 2011 Ford Expedition with tire size P275/65-R18, we'll be installing Glacier Tire Chains, part number PW2028C. Now, these tire chains are perfect for the occasional use, a feature of rugged steel wiring covered with case hardened steel rollers for traction. Now before we install our tire chains, we'll get them out of the packaging, lay them flat on the floor and make sure that we have all kinks out of it. We'll then go ahead and identify the correct chain to use and the correct location. Now, each tire chain is labeled with a yellow label indicating the direction of travel as well as which side of the vehicle you'll need to install these chains on. Another great way to find out is to ensure that the hook of the side chains faces outward when mounted on the tire.

      You always want to make sure that the lever is towards the outside of the tire. Now that we've identified the correct chain, we'll go ahead and drape the tire chain over the tire, making sure that the chains stay centered on the tire thread. Now that we have them draped over, we'll move to the inside of the tire here underneath the vehicle and hook the side chains together, taking out as much of the slack in the chain as possible. Now here on the outside, we'll go ahead to make sure that our chains are taut where we'll hook the side chain together and pull the lever, locking it back to the side chain itself. And with that, our chains are on and we're ready to head out into the snow and ice.

      And that completes our installation of the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chain, part number PW2028C on our 2011 Ford Expedition.

      I bought these for my 2012 Buick Enclave (Lamda platform). These will just barely clear the front strut - by maybe 1/4 of an inch - although that is with a brand new set of tires on the car. They fit very well on the tire, though, so no risk of them coming loose.65982

      These chains appear to be what I need, I will be traveling from the deep south to the Tetons in February and just might have a need for chains on a very seldom basis. These chains appear to be much easier to put on and take off, and the price is very good. I do want to commend etrailer.com customer service (Bridget A). I called to try to correct an error I made on my online order and she was excellent in correcting my problem - - thank you Bridget.65041

      With properly sized cables, you should not have a clearance problem. Just make sure to verify the fit according to the tire size printed on your tires. I have added a link to the tire chain results page for a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, just be sure to get the tire size off the truck.

      • Where To Install Snow Tire Chains On A 2011 Toyota Tundra
      • If your vehicle owners manual specifies that you should not use snow chains on the front of your 2011 Toyota Tundra, then I would recommend following the instructions in your owners manual. When Toyota says no snow chains they also mean snow cables, unless they specify that cables are okay. Using snow chains or cables on the front of your 2011 Toyota Tundra is not recommended by Toyota because either it will cause damage to the vehicle, or there is not enough clearance in the wheel wells for

      • Snow Chains Recommendation for a 2000 Toyota 4runner 4x4 with 275/70-16 Tires
      • Selecting tire chains for your 2000 Toyota 4runner 4x4, will depend on the conditions you will be using them in. If you plan on using snow chains only once in a great while and on the road only then the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains for Light Trucks, item # PW2028C, that you selected would be a good choice. I would recommend a set of the Glacier Rubber Adjusters for Light-Truck Snow Chains, item # PW99 along with these cables. If you will be using the chains more often and in a bit more extr

      • Which Tire Chains Will Fit a 2005 Chevy Avalanche
      • The first thing you will want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for your 2005 Chevy Avalanche to determine if chains can be used and if there are any specific recommendations or restrictions. After you have checked the owners manual and determine that you can use chains, you can select some based on the tire size on the truck. I have included a link to the tire chain main page for your truck. You will see 2 tire sizes, 245/75-16 and 265/70-16. Select your size to view all the chains

      • Snow Chains Recommendation for a 2010 GMC Sierra With 275/55-20 Tires
      • My recommendation for limited use and the most economical snow chains for your 2010 GMC Sierra would be the Cable Snow Chains, # PW3029C. These chains are properly sized for wide base tires like your 275/55-20 tires and should be installed on the main drive wheels, in this case the rear. If your truck has 4 wheel drive then you could use another set on the front wheels, but it is not required. Rubber Adjusters, # PW99, are recommended for use with the Cable snow chains. They will help keep th

      • Recommend Tensioners For Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C on 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe
      • When using the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW2028C, it is recommended to use the Glacier Rubber Adjusters # PW99, for rim sizes 16 to 20 inches. The adjusters will provide tension on the chains to keep the tire chains in the correct position. I cannot recommend using just any bungee cord. Snow chains are fitted by tire size, if your Tahoe has the 275/55-20 tire size, the # PW2028C chains will fit. Before installing snow chains on your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, you will want to check the vehi

      • For the 275/55-20 tire, I would recommend the # PW2028C which is the correct size for that tire. Keep in mind that these style of chains are designed for occasional emergency use and would be best used by somebody traveling in areas where snow might be encountered. These chains are not meant for continuous use. If you know you were going to consistently finding yourself in situations where chains will be needed, chains like part # PWE3229S would provide a more aggressive grip and would be

      • Tire Chain Recommendation For a 2011 Ford Expedition EL 4 Wheel Drive
      • We have a wide selection of tire chains for you to choose from for your 2011 Ford Expedition EL, but for your situation, I would recommend either the Glacier Chains V-Bar Snow Chains, # PWH2828SC, or the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains, # PWE2439S, assuming you still have the factory tires and wheels. The V-Bar chains will be stronger and more effective than the cable style tire chains that you referenced on a gravel driveway or when plowing. They are made of low carbon steel chain links,

I have included links to these videos. While the vehicles in the videos are different than yours, the installation of the chains is similar. These chains will fit the tire sizes 265/70-16 and 265/75-16 used on your 2008 Nissan Xterra, but you need to read your vehicles owners guide to ensure tire chains can be used on your vehicle. I al

      • How to Determine if Snow Tire Chains Can be Used on a 2010 Saturn Outlook
      • The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for the use of tire chains. There is a chain paradox in which some vehicle owners manuals state not to use chains but in some areas of the country they are required by law. In that situation what you want to do is contact a GM dealer (since Saturn no longer exists) for their recommendation. The issue with most vehicles on which chains should not be used is the small amount of clearance around the back side of the

      • The # PW2028C Glacier cable snow chains are a fit for the 265/70-16 tire size on your 1997 Toyota 4Runner, but I would definitely recommend getting the rubber adjusters. These chains fit a range of tire sizes but do not have a built-in tightening feature, so the adjusters are required to take up the slack unless your tire size is one of the largest in the range. The # PW100 adjusters fit vehicles with 12 to 16 inch wheels and the # PW99 set fits 16 to 20 inch wheels. Since your 16 inch whee
