Features to know about

Climbing Steep, Snowy Driveways with Confidence: Diamond Pattern Keeps You Moving

When the snow stacks up and the road turns slick, the diamond pattern of these Konig tire chains delivers steady traction that keeps you in control. The pattern gives you continuous contact with the road surface, which helps on icy inclines or winding rural drives. The square links bite in deep for grip while still giving a smoother ride than typical ladder chains, making them great for both snow and light ice.

No More Struggling in the Cold: Self-Tensioning System Does the Work for You

Putting chains on in falling snow isn’t fun, but these make it about as easy as it gets. Just drape them over the tires, make the connections, and start driving—the chains automatically center and tighten themselves. That means you only have to step out once, with no need to stop later for readjustment. Plastic-coated hooks keep your fingers from freezing, and the lightweight design makes installation fast even when it’s cold out.

Tough Enough for Real Winter Driving: Manganese Nickel Alloy Steel Resists Wear and Rust

When you depend on your chains season after season, material quality matters. These are built from high-quality manganese nickel alloy steel that holds up against corrosion and abrasion. The powder-coated side chain and nylon bumpers add protection against scratches, so you can count on them to last through repeated use in harsh conditions.

Smooth Ride in Tight Spaces: Class S Design for Limited Clearance

If your vehicle has a snug wheel-well, these chains are designed to fit safely with minimal clearance. Meeting SAE Class S standards, they need just 3/8" of internal clearance. That low-profile shape helps keep the ride smoother and quieter on packed snow or plowed roads, all while maintaining solid traction.

Ready When You Need Them: Compact Storage with Practical Extras

Each set comes packed in a durable storage container that helps keep things organized between storms. A kneeling mat is included so you can stay a little drier when installing in the snow. With a 5-year warranty and fitment for 15"–16" tires, these chains are built for years of dependable winter use.

Note

  • Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.

Confirming Your Fit

If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer.

We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.

You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. These chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.

Very happy with how easy it is to install these. I really appreciated the installation videos showing the different tire sizes - we got the right size first try for both of my cars. These are the only chains I will order from now on. Highly recommend.

Very easy to install and remove! Made it out of a steep icy driveway no problem.

I purchased these for my daughters 2010 Honda Fit Sport. She has not had to use them although we did install and uninstall them to make sure she would know how to use them if needed on a recent trip. The fit of the chains was right-on and the design is great. It seems these were designed by someone that used chains and understood the short comings of standard chains. Being able to install the chains without driving the vehicle on top of them is a great selling point as is the self tightening system. Since she didn't end up having to use them I can't speak to how long they would last but the they are of heavy duty construction. They are pricey but having installed a lot of chains in bad weather these are worth it for the ease of installation alone.

The price and service from etrailer was great.
by:
They delivered the package on time. I was surprised it came that fast. Customer service was great. I got an email from them right away regarding some questions I had on the chains. They emailed me with updates on the delivery. The chains were pretty easy to put on but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. I will definitely recommend etrailer to all of my friends.

Outstanding product....installation was a breeze! Don't know if I'll ever need them but I've got them if I do...

I had called multiple places and searched Google trying to find chains for my tire size, but no one had results for the make, model, and year of my vehicle. Since I had purchased chains from etrailer years ago for my previous car, I decided to give them a call.

I spoke with Abbey, who was also confused as to why my tire size wasn’t showing any product matches. She placed me on a brief hold to consult with an expert, and it turned out they did have the right product. I purchased the chains and installed them for a fitting—and they worked perfectly!

Thank you, Abbey, for going the extra mile to find a solution and the right product for my needs. Great customer service!
by:
Tunnel View at Yosemite. Chains worked perfectly, but not quite as easy to install as the video would suggest. I made the mistake of pulling over into 3-4 inches of snow to put them on. The snow packed around the base of the tire made it very difficult. That's not something you encounter when practicing in your nice warm garage. But once on, the chains stayed secure, and the car handled and braked with confidence.

That's a pretty awesome shot you took, John! Before I read your review I looked at your pic and I can see what you mean how it would be difficult to put the chains on with all the snow packed under there. I'm glad that you were able to get them on and enjoy the rest of the drive.

I needed chains for my FWD Volvo up in the Catskills, NY. I have a dirt driveway, the FWD Volvo from 2017 can’t handle an inch of snow/ice surprisingly for a Swedish car. I searched for high quality chains and ended up here. I asked Josh questions before purchasing, he was so helpful. The chains are magic, tricky to install the first time, but now I can install easily. They work so well. They store back in their plastic box easily to place in the trunk. Very pleased.

I was looking to have snow tire chains for my upcoming trip to northern Wisconsin. I found these to be very easy to install as the instructions were very clear. I like that they come with a case to make them easy to store in my Ford Escape.

These tire chains got me out of jam recently when I had gone down a 1 lane thanks to massive snow road and there was no place to turn around. I put on the chains and was able to do a multi-point turn to get back down the road with ease.

I think this is the fourth pair of these chains I have purchased for various vehicles. I have had great success with these over the years. No chains are "easy" to put on but these make it about as easy as it can be. Once you are familiar with the process it takes only a few minutes per tire. The self-tensioning is the best feature. The storage box even has a hook and loop pad on the back so it won't slide around in your carpeted trunk or back seat. I got these for my '25 F150 Lariat. Our vacation home is at the end of a one-mile lane that is steep, snow covered all winter and usually icy in places from the sun. Snow tires and chains are a necessity for us.

I love these chains, and etrailer is the best! As a 69 yr old retired grandma, I work part-time at a ski resort. A few weeks ago, we were expecting 8-10 inches of snow/ice and I was scheduled to work. So, I put these idiot-proof, color-coded, self-adjusting chains on my Highlander front low profile tires and waited for weather. See photo. I worked my full shift, came out to ice/snow in dark, and drove safely home. Oh, and the carrying case comes with a folded plastic sheet, but with my old knees I added a foam pad!

I have a 2019 Honda CRV and have never owned tire chains before so I dont have anything to compare these to but they are easy to put on and take off and they conquer a steep icy unpaved drive way in The Catskills perfectly. There are some plastic parts that probably should be metal. One of them - the tension hook - broke on one of my chains (see photo) and when I reported this to etrailer.com with a photo to prove it, they sent another set. So I am pleased overall with the service from etrailer.com but am only giving 4 stars for the product on account of the breakage. Also they rusted after one season but that hasn't impacted performance.

These are really easy to put on and take off. I have used them three times on my 2019 chevy colorado (4wd) to deal with high elevation mountain snow. After each use, I washed them, hung to dry and then put back in the truck. They are so awesome, I recommend them to others.

@Ann That's great to hear, Ann! Hopefully this winter hasn't been too bad for you.

Very impressed! On a cement floor you can have the chains installed and snugged in under 10 minutes. Also an excellent increase in traction for a RWD van. Definitely recommend the konig XG-12's. Haven't installed while travelling but I don't think it will be very difficult.

We had a demo day a while back and I remember this brand being one of my favorites for the reasons you just said! Ease of use is key. Thanks for sending in the photos too! If you wind up using them - let us know how it goes!

Well, I would say a little harder to put on correctly than advertised, but I called customer support and they helped me. Also watching all of the videos helped because each one was worded a little differently. Definitely would suggest one or two dry runs before you are in the elements. Important to realize to slide the plastic coated cable to the backside of the tire and center the chains after connecting the plastic coated cable and the small red hook. Once I figured this out I was able to almost perfectly center the chains (at least on one tire). On the other tire I couldn't get it perfectly centered (see photos). After about an 1/8 of a mile of very low speed driving it still didn't center but maybe with more driving at higher speeds it would. Also important to remember to have the yellow end of the chain on your right hand side beofore sliding behind the tire and making the first connection. One question I still have is how tight to pull the tension cable after you put it through the stop device. Every video seems a little bit different as to how tight you pull the cable by hand before connecting it to the tensioning device. As far as taking them off I tried four times to line up my car perfectly so I wouldn't have to drive over the chains after disconnecting them but this was not possible for me. So, with the plastic coated cable on top I just disconnected the connections in reverse and then put all the hooks and components off to the side and drove off/over the chains, which seemed to work fine. Will see how they work in the snow and ice but I'm hopeful they will do well.

I bought these for my 2022 Honda Odyssey for a trip to Colorado. We had to use them during a chain law enforcement through Wolf Creek Pass. They're easy to put on and take off and performance was spot on through snow pack and ice. Recommend getting familiar with them in clear conditions prior to use as its more difficult. I had no problems and would recommend for anyone, especially the novice.

Outstanding service! With an upcoming trip and recent snow storm etrailer helped me get my snow chains just in time for our vacation. Without the chains I would have been screwed. Communication with this company is impressive. The original chains I ordered would not have arrived in time and the sales team called me right away to find alternative solutions. Chains for 315/35/20 size tires are not easy to find. Really happy with my purchase. Thank you.
by:
These chains are excellent quality and super easy to install. I watched the video and hold them out of the package line them up. Click them together. The tensioner works great. I rolled the truck back-and-forth. They are on and tight. It is well worth the money to have something high-quality that will work more than once.

Previously my only experience with chains was using cable chains on front wheel drive cars, where turning the wheels was necessary to ensure they had a good fit.

I bought these chains for my 2023 Kia EV6 with stock 235/55/19 tires. The instruction manual for the car says to put chains on the rear wheels and I was worried that getting chains on the rear wheels would be difficult. Despite never having used this style of chains before I was easily able to test-fit both chains with 15 minutes, and the chains fit very snuggly and didn't move when I move the car a cars length. Getting the inner loop positioned right is something that took a couple tries to get right, and I'm sure there might be a bit more room for improvement :)

I was slightly concerned about the chains damaging the rims or other parts of the car, but with the included spacers (not applied in the picture) I think this won't be a problem.

I'm taking the car up to the snow this weekend and if I use the chains I'll provide an update.

etrailer did a great job clearly communicating to me when my chains would arrive with no fuss.

Great Quality. Quick Installation and very easy to take off. Self-tensioning worked like a charm. I would definitely recommend them.

I bought these to use on my 2023 Rav4 TRD Off-Road OEM Falken AT Tires.

I highly recommend installing them at home a few times before heading up. Watching the etrailer videos on YouTube was also a huge help.

    I have a solution for you, but we don't carry the Michelin Easy Grip tire chains that fit your vehicle anymore so no we do not. Instead I would recommend the Thule Chains part # TH00023075. These will install easily and will provide you with much better traction than the Easy Grip style "chains" that you referenced. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

    The Thule Self Tensioning Low Profile Tire Chains you referenced, part # TH00023075 are sold in pairs.

  • Which Thule CG9 Self Tensioning Self Centering Snow Chains fit a 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback
    According to my research, the stock tire size for the 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback with 195/65-15.

If this isn't your tire size, please let me know the size and I'd be happy to make a recommendation. Before purchasing or installing tire chains, consult your owner's manual for any advice or prohibitions regarding chains.

  • Tire Chain and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Forester
    Having tire chains on all 4 wheels of an AWD vehicle will give you the best traction for braking, acceleration, and steering. It will be the best all around solution. As long as the owners manual of your 2018 Subaru Forester says it's okay to use chains on all of your wheels this would be the best route with the part # TH00023075 installed on your tire size P225/60/R17. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118467 which is a confirmed fit.
