Most Popular Manual for 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon

I purchased a pair of Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains for my 2016 Subaru Outback to ensure that I can comply with Colorado's chain laws. These chains are relatively easy to put on and take off and they store in a convenient carrying bag. The instructions are clear and have helpful suggestions. I really appreciate etrailer's assistance with finding the right chains for my car and getting them to me quickly.

These cable chains were purchased as a gift for my son to use on his 2016 Subaru Outback, so I cannot attest to the actual performance. He is headed to Mt. Rainier at the end of his week with wife and two little children. The Park requires chains no matter how many wheels are being driven. I can say that I enjoyed the shopping experience on the etrailer web-site and found the guidance on which product to purchase very helpful. After reading warnings from Subaru maintainers about the use of chains and possible problems, it took some coaxing to get me to buy. The videos were very helpful showing installation. A good shopping experience in all.

Quality product. It fits. It got here right when they said it would. Perfect. I ordered the PW1038 low-profile S Chains for my 2014 Subaru Outback. They fit, using the 2nd from last locking link from the end. They do not rub the shock absorber. Great. etrailer gave an estimated delivery date, and they arrived exactly on that date. Tip: They ship using UPS, but then hand it off to USPS, meaning it arrived in my US Mail Box, not on the front porch. More secure. I doubt I will every have to use them in a snow-chain Level 3 condition (in which ALL vehicles, 4WD or not, have to chain up), but in CA, NV, and OR, you have to be able to show the police that you HAVE the chains in your vehicle, even though you are not using them on the tires. I recommend this solution for my fellow Subaru owners.

I have not had the need to use the tire chains yet. I have an all wheel drive Subaru and I carry the chains just in case the road conditions require chains. I like to compact carrying case. The chains fit perfectly where I stow the spare tire.

No wonder why this place gets 5 stars. I bought the spring chains for my 2016 Outback, probably won’t use them but some states require you to have them in your car. Awesome website. Easy to find what you need for your vehicle. Fast shipping and very well packaged. Awesome customer service people and if you have any questions they respond fast. Highly recommended and I will use them again.

Looks great Love the case. Hopefully they work easily too. It's not winter yet.

Great service. Haven't needed to use these yet but I did practice installing them on my vehicle. Everything looks good and the fit is right on. The instructions were good and easy to follow. Nice to have in an emergency.

The tire chain works as advertised. However there're some iron wires were not wrapped in very well, they stuck into my fingers while I was installing the chain.

Review for timely delivery. Not used yet to confirm the usefulness

Works well for vehicles with minimal wheel clearance. Provides exellent traction for a low price.

Got chains delivered sooner than estimated. Chains are a great product for the price, and performed great while driving up in the Big Bear Mountains.

I live in Dallas, TX so we don’t get snow but ice and sleet and available a couple times a year. I put these on my Subaru Outback and was able to drive around the local neighborhood streets that were iced over. Stopping went well a and starting did not have any wheel spin.

It is a new product,so time will tell. As I drive a Subaru, I really don't expect to ever use them, but I'm in Ca and the cops rule.

In shopping for a chain cable, I was impressed with the video of Ed demonstrating how easy it was to install your product. That demo inspired me to order from etrailer. The online order system and prompt shipping went smoothly and delivery was on time. The carrying bag for the cables is a quality product, too. The pictorial instructions will help a lot.

I've used these chains several times in this winter and it works only on flat roads with light snow. My 2015 Subaru Forester wearing these chains couldn't climb 10 - 20 degrees road with around 3 - 6 inches snow. I was expecting my Subaru could climb that road because it wasn't steep. No issues with clearance. I should have bought diamond pattern chains.

Ordered this set on Monday, received on Wednesday! No extra costs on fast shipping. Came with everything displayed, as well as a nice soft storage bag! Compared to many other sets of cables I have had, these look to be superior quality, I have not used them at this time, though the installation looks to be simple by design.

This review is more about the product delivery and service from etrailer.com itself. The product from etrailer.com arrived on time and matched the specifications exactly (a problem that I had with tire chain shopping in sites like (another site) was that the received product did not match the tire size given in the (another site) site product description). With etrailer.com, the transaction was clean and I am happy with the purchase. I didn’t get a chance to use these chains so far, so I can’t comment on the quality of the chains itself, but I will surely come back to etrailer.com for my future automotive shopping. Thanks.

These chains are great.

My Titan Chain Low Profile Tire Chains arrived on time and fit great. They were exactly as described. Luckily I did not have to use them at all last winter, but I did a test run and they were relatively easy to install and tighten. Having these in the trunk of my van allow me to stay in compliance with state "chains required" regulations and provides me with peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product. Customer service has been great.

The chains were great, however the blue tensioners broke at the worst time and I didn't even use them for more than 10 minutes before the tensioner broke.

Hard to put on and would not stay centered on the tire. Ended up taking them off as they were coming loose and knocking the wheel well

Arrived on time for a big trip. I like that your website lets you pick make, model, and tire size to be sure of the fit. Thanks

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

Easy to put on tires but difficult to place back inside carry bag after use. Would be nice if carry bag was larger.

I will be traveling to CO in spring and these are required by law. These came well packaged in their own carrying case, seem to be of good quality and instructions are very clear to understand. They were purchased for my 5th wheel and I hope to never have to use them.

We purchased these in 2023 and they worked perfectly for our snow trip to flagstaff. The customer service we received was amazing as well. Thank you.

Turned my 2004 Mustang with aftermarket wheels and tires into a snow tank! Easy installation on 285/35/18 rear tires (bald Summer Street racing tires) and these tire cables will take me anywhere I want in the Montana winter!

Haven't used yet but have the incase needed put on a couple times in the driveway 2008 Trailblazer Lt w 3lt 4wd driving from West Texas to Anchorage Alaska pain to get back in the bag but doable had to reroute front Abs sensor wiring for clearance . Owners manual says no but they do fit just barley . Ordered 2 pairs . I have 245 55 18

These are not as easy to mount as I'd hoped if you're mounting them in bad weather...good luck! Recommend other customers select something more user friendly even if it costs more.

Order 2 pairs for my car, got 2 different cables, one set blue the other set green. You can tell instantly because the bags are blue and green and oddly the different colors weight different amounts. Emailed customer service to get cables that match and they said that the label invoice number are the same on both bags, So it's the same product. So if you don't care that you can get 2 different colors from ordering 2 sets in the same order you can try for these.

Titan Chain Cables are great quality and so easy to use. We were able to intuitively put them on and take off quickly. Etrailer has the best prices I've seen after researching. Also, they have the BEST customer service, specifically Jane S. & Tammie P. I was not familiar with cables and our Subaru had specific clearance requirements. They made sure I received the correct type, fit and clearance for my car. We highly recommend!

Nicole was a great help and hope she received credit for the sale.

These Cable Chains were the easiest to install of any others I've had. The instructions that came with the chains weren't great, but I watched the video on etrailer which was very straight forward. I watched the video 2 times then took the chains out of the bag and had both on in less than 5 minutes.
