by:

Product is hard to get wrong. Good thick rubber cord with stainless steel hooks to help relieve any slack on your chain/cable assembly.



by:

No problems here. Bought this w/ the tire chain and they easily fit in the bag that came w/ the tire chains. Haven't used them yet but they look to be good!



by:

Chain TensionersGlacier Rubber adjusters were delivered in a timely manner at a fair price; great customer service, as well.



by:

The chains came quickly and as described. etrailer.com even upgraded the shipping for me at no extra cost!!



by:

I tried them on; and they fit well. I'll be ready for my subdivision's icy conditions next time. Thanks for the rapid service, and here are some photos from the test today; though you may not want to use the tension photo, because the clips should have been rotated to the next section



by:

These are real heavy duty adjusters. Unless you have 12 to maybe 14 inch wheels, go with the 16-20 inch size. I installed them on a 16 inch Dodge Dakota wheel and the rubber is very difficult to stretch across the wheel, let alone make the other three attachments.

I really like the chains, they are so much easier and lighter than thechains of my younger years. However, I still feel the same about theadjusters. They are much too small andor not flexible enough, making itvery difficult to stretch them, even just across the wheel. My wife wouldnever be able put them on should the need arise. I suggest you find adifferent supplier for that product or a different brand.



by:

These worked very well for the chains that I bought last year. I drive a 1998 4Runner Limited with 16" rims. It took a little bit of practice centering the chains on the tire so definitely do so before you get a bunch of snow. If it seems like this tensioner is too tight, doublecheck that the chains are positioned on the tire correctly and not too far in toward the wheel well.



by:

Bought this product to replace bungee cords to keep my snow chains tight. They work great. The tensioners fit easily inside my chain bag so every thing is kept together. Great product, I recommended them to a couple of my buddies.



by:

All items arrived in good condition and all were as described and were as
expected.

The items, three sets of tire chains and three sets of chain tighteners were
inspected, but as of this date none of the items have been installed or
placed in service. The products all appear to be of good quality and should
perform as expected when used.

At this time, I rate the order response time as excellent and all items were
shipped quickly and arrived in good condition and if they do not prove to
perform well I will quickly respond with a follow-up review to indicate any
deficiencies.

Will look forward to doing additional business with etrailer.com.



by:

I appreciate that you/your company does follow ups to purchases after a year. I think that is great. That being said, since ordering the tire cables/chains, it has not snowed enough to use them! I have saved this email and promise to review them once we actually get to use them. Thanks again!!



by:

I ordered three sets of chains. One for my van, one for my small truck and one for my big truck. The chains with the cams are very nice and easier to deal with. Don't buy the rubber rings with hooks that is used to keep the chain centered, it is cheap and will not last the winter. Buy the short rubber straps at any hardware, they work perfectly. These are adequate chains for moderate use.



by:

Went to new style chains. Too difficult to put on when it's snowing and not ideal conditions (like a nice dry garage or driveway). the tensioners are to stiff in the winter and my wife cannot install correctly. Would not recommend the chains OR the tensioners.

  • Can Tire Chains Be Used On a 2015/2016 Subaru Forester or 2017 Subaru Outback?
    The Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains, # TH2004205104, will give you enough clearance because they will adjust tension and not just have slack in the chain. If you are concerned about the seeming contradicting information, you could go with a cable chain like Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW1042. With these style chains, spring rollers are wrapped around sturdy wire cross cables. With this product, Rubber Adjusters like # PW100 are recommended. In the Owner's Manual...

  • Optional Rubber Adjusters for Glacier # 1042 Snow Cable Chains
    You said part number 1040 but I think you meant Glacier # PW1042 Cable Snow Tire Chains. If so the recommended rubber adjusters you are the Glacier # PW100 for 12" to 16" wheels or # PW99 for 16" to 19" wheels. these will simply attache to your installed chains.

  • Cable Style Snow Tire Chains for P225/75-16 Tires
    A tire size of 225/27-16 like you indicated in your question then that would mean it has an overall diameter of 20.78 inches compared to the 29.29 diameter of a 225/75-16. If you meant LT225 vs P225 (/75-16 for both) then you can use use the appropriate size chains for both types of tire but some are better suited for one style or the other. For a P225 you would want to go with chains # PW1042 because they are better suited for passenger vehicle tires as opposed to light truck (LT) tires....

  • Compatibility of Snow Tire Cable Chains on 2017 GMC 2500 with 265/70R17 Tires
    The Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair # TC2028 are a confirmed fit for your 265/70R17 tires on your 2017 GMC 2500 HD 4x4. Then you will use tensioners like the Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters - Light-Truck Chains - 15" to 18" Rims - 1 Pair # PW105 or # PW100 which will work well with these cable chains. Most of the time the manufacturer suggests only using on the rear tires, but your owner's manual will outline proper use. These cables...

  • Will Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1046 Fit on 2006 Volvo XC90 AWD
    You will want to check your owners manual or with the Volvo dealer to determine if you can use snow tire chains on your 2006 Volvo XC90 AWD, or if there are any limitations. Some Volvo all-wheel drive cars may limit snow chains to the front wheels only. The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW1046, that you have referenced, will fit the 235/65-17 tire size. This is the tire size we show as factory on your 2006 Volvo XC90 AWD. If you can use these snow chains on your vehicle, I would...

The list is quite extensive but does not include a 205/55-16 tire size. Instead, you would need to use the Glacier Tire Chains, # PW1034, for your 2005 Volvo S40. It is also recommended that you use rubber adjuster # PW100 for the best fit and easiest installation. I have also included a link below to all of the available tire chains that will fit your S40.

  • Tire Chains for a 2013 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 Tires
    The old tire chain paradox: owners manual says no chains but in some places the law requires chains. It is related to Reno's Law which states that if chains are required by law then of course the vehicle owners manual says not to use chains. It happens a lot and I know exactly the type of chains you need. The good news is that all of the cables and chains for a 2013 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 tires are Class S compatible which means they require very little clearance. I have linked the...

  • What is the Speed Limit when Using Tire Chains on a 2003 Mazda MPV Van
    The maximum speed recommended by tire chain manufacturers can vary from one chain to the next. Usually rated between 25 to 30 mph. However, your MVP owners manual specifies not driving over 19 mph when using chains. Always go by the lower rating and make sure to drive safely in hazardous conditions. I have included a link to our FAQ article on tire chains for you.

I also recommend adding rubber adjusters, # PW99 for cars or # PW100 for trucks and SUVs, to make installation easier and to keep the chains taught on the tire. I have included a link to a video showing how the rubber adjusters work. You will also want to check your vehicle owners manual to determine if chains can...

  • Should Tire Chains be Put on Both Wheels or Just Outer Wheels on a Dually Axle
    You can install tire chains on either both tires or just the outer tire on a dually set of tires (per side). Having chains on both will provide the best traction but it is a little more difficult to install them. The distance of the trip isn't as important as the road conditions and the type of terrain. In heavy snow or ice or steep grades, I would put chains on all the tires of a dually axle. If you can tell me the tire size I can determine which chains will fit. I have included a link...

    The Glacier cables # PW1030 are listed as a fit for the 2010 Mini Cooper with 195/55-16 tires. But you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if there are any recommendations or restrictions on the use of cables or chains on the vehicle. If you go with the cables then you would want to add rubber adjusters # PW100 which are designed more for passenger car tires up to 16 inches. They help provide the proper tension on the chains.

  • Are Rubber Adjusters Necessary for Glacier Cable Snow Chains
    The rubber adjusters aren't required but are highly recommended to help keep the # PW1030 cable chains securely in place. The actual adjuster needed will depend on your wheel diameter. For wheels smaller than 16 inches, use # PW100 or # PW99 for wheels larger than 16 inches. Each set includes two adjusters.

  • Recommended Class C Tire Chains for 275/70-18 Tires on a 2014 Ford F-250
    If you are needing Class S compatible tire/snow chains for 275/70-18 size tires on your 2014 Ford F-250 then I recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW3029C because the rollers are more like coils and will do a better job at giving you traction over the smooth rollers. You can use tensioners like part # PW100 or # PW105 to help keep them in place. Be sure to consult your owner's manual for any specific instructions on tire chains for your F-250 as well.
