AJ: What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out this rubber tensioner for your tire chains. Now it's from Titan Chains. And it's going to go on your tire chains, excuse me, to help tighten them up. Without this.. I'll take it off and show you.
Without this, the chains hang on there loosely and you won't want to drive like that. And it's recommended that these styles of chains have these tensioners because of what I'm about to show you. So without the tensioner, you see how loose it is on there. You don't really want that while you're driving down the road. It could cause issues.
Maybe just even hitting your rims or something like that. You add this tensioner on here and this band pulls the chains towards the center and pulls them tighter across the tire all around. Now you can see that difference. I can barely move the chains on there now with all the tension.Now they come in a few different sizes. This one's for cars.
There's one for light trucks and heavy trucks. So make sure you get the right tensioner for the right chains. Now I'm going to compare it to another style of rubber adjuster. You can see that they're very different. This one has a metal ring in the center and it has six rubber arms that come out from there.
There's pros and cons of that. I like that the hook is attached on these so you can't take the hook off. And I like that there's six arms on this one. This would spread this out and make it more evenly if it just had one more of those clips.So it's not a big deal. It's not going to affect the way it works, but just looking at it I just would like this part to be hooked up there just for my own sake. But the other things is one of these arms can break. We use these a lot when we're doing tire chains. It probably won't happen to you. You won't use them and put them through as much as we do because we do lots of tire chains every day. But I've seen one of the arms snap before. So I don't know. I think this one might be better with that aspect over the longterm in the cold.But things you have to worry about is losing one of these clips because they can come off. And if you lose one, I don't know how easy it would be to find one of these at a hardware store or something like that. This is all included and attached like I said. So that's easier to just throw this in the back of your vehicle and have it all together rather than throw this back there. And then, you'll be missing pieces when you really need it. Although it does its job just fine and holds these chains nice and tight because you can't be going down the road with droopy chains. It's not going to be good for your vehicle or for your ride. Well, thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helped.

Designed for use with Titan Chain tire chains, these single-piece rubber adjusters make it easy to fit and tighten your vehicle's snow chains in no time.
Heavy duty and rugged. I had to trim off some links to make them fit just right but but they fit my tires perfectly now and super snug. Only used them once but they worked great and easy to put on. I bought a second set for survival if a big storm hits.
I ordered these rubber adjusters to complete the installation of a new set of chains for my vehicle. I really like the the way all of the tension is directed to the center of the wheel keeping the chain snug around the whole tire. I do recommend that you order 2 sets since they could be subject to damage being made of rubber.
They didn’t arrive as promised because of UPS. etrailer shipped immediately but UPS delayed for at least 3 weeks for no good reason. Will insist on Fedx shipping next time.
These tensioners seem heavy duty and adding them to the tire chain order qualified the purchase for free shipping which would have cost twice what these did. Awesome customer service!!
Snow tire chains I was shopping for tire chains on line, and when I discovered that eTrailer sold them, I simply put the order in. The reason I looked no further, is because EVERY order I've made with etrailer over the years has exceeded my expectations. Color me a loyal customer. I love knowing that my order was received, and when it shipped, and when I should expect to recieve it. You guys do it right! Thanks
This review is more about etrailer than the product. I have done business with this company for over ten years. Their professional staff has profound technical knowledge, and communicates it in clear, understandable language. These people are committed to helping the customer make a good choice. And their products, in my experience, are excellent quality. Chris kept me from ordering tire chains that would not fit my truck. Etrailer is my first choice.
I haven't had the need to use them yet, but they look like they will get the job done. etrailer service was very good.
I Just got my chains in on Friday, Have not used them yet. Only purchased to carry on my truck because DOT says I have to have them in order to enter North West IE: Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and so on. I deliver RV's and travel trailers to dealers all over the United States... I'm sure my Chains will work fine for what I need... I do intend on ordering more items for my truck in the future from etrailer... Thanks
great tire cable and very easy to install. Used them once last year but with the tremendous snow fall we've been having in the Sierras, I surely will be using the chains quite a bit more this season.
Awesome adjuster. This is a must have. Its cheap but effective. It will keep the chains tight without needing to get out and adjust them.
Awsome product. More importantly to me was the amazing customer support. I was dealing with Anthony W. He first contacted me with a back ordered product. We then spoke and figured out a better replacement. Product was shipped as promised and received. Owning a trailer, a suv, and a truck, I will be looking at the etrailer website first for all my needs. I am also a high voltage lineman in San diego. Every coworker I know has a truck. I have already passed on your website and will do so in the future. Thanks again etrailer.
Super product! So much better than "McGiver-ing bungee cords...LOL. WORTH EVERY PENNY! ....and really, just pennies.
Purchasing product's from a company I've never done prior buisness with has always been a concern to me. With etrailer these concerns have been put to rest. The snow chains will be with me this winter during the late November hunting season high up in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. These chains are heavy duty top notch quality and I would rather have them handy and not need them than to need them and not have them, especially when nature decides to over night un-leash the full force of a winter storm blanketing the area in several feet of wind driven snow. Sounds like fun doesn't it? Travel prepaired! Oh, PS, I would again due buisness with etrailer.com, they have my vote.
Great product works as described. Keeps us going in the snow back country roads Utah. Shipping is slower than expected other than that great customer service and love the chains
Really fast service and I was notified of the orders progress often. Great service and as always the products were just as advertised. Thanks etrailer I'll be back !
Just what I needed. Great price and fast shipping
The tire chains once fitted have worked real well. I just wish they could have been mage in America and not China
I have Used the adjusters once since I purchased them. They were very easy to install and worked well. I will purchase another set for my other car.
It was a quick and easy to order and products arrived quickly
The tire chains were exactly what I needed ,with a fairly easy install.They were delivered one day and I used them the next.
Fast delivery and service. Easy install. We live deep in the woods of Maine so these will be frequently used in the winter snow / ice and then comes mud season.
So far so good.
I recently ordered chains for my SUV. I love [other site] for the ease of ordering, but I must say etrailer was every bit as good. Because of the weight of the package I thought it might take a while to get my order. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the chains today. GREAT customer support and follow up!
A definite must have for snow chains! They worked great!
Received order 2 days after ordering - excellent. Dry fitted chains to ensure they can fit tire and they go on with a little slack that the chain tensioners pick up with no issues. Do recommend anyone getting these for a 265-R70 16 get the tension bands or you will get a little chain slap. Overall very happy as I am going out for a medical and prepping everything at the house before winter so I will be able to heal.
