When the snow piles up or the road turns to packed ice, these Konig chains grab hold where regular tires would spin. The diamond pattern gives you constant traction all the way around the tire instead of leaving gaps like ladder designs. It helps you climb steep, snowy driveways or twisty hills without losing grip, and the square links bite in evenly for a steady, smooth ride on snow and light ice.
Wrestling with loose chains in the cold is no fun. These have an assisted tensioning system built right in, so you just pull the tensioner to snug them up—no separate tools or loose parts to keep track of. The tensioners automatically keep the fit tight as you drive, so you spend less time adjusting and more time on the move.
Square links are small enough to dig in for traction without making the ride feel harsh or bumpy. Their compact shape helps your tires roll more evenly, cutting down on the vibration that bigger links can cause. You get solid grip without feeling like you’re bouncing down the road.
Winter roads are tough on gear, but these chains are built from high-quality manganese nickel alloy steel that stands up to corrosion and repeated use. The material keeps its strength even in harsh conditions, so you can count on them to handle snow, slush, and road salt year after year.
If your vehicle doesn’t have much room between the tire and wheel well, these chains still fit easily. They meet SAE Class S clearance standards, requiring just 1/2" of internal space. That low-profile build gives you dependable traction without rubbing or interference and makes them ideal for vehicles with tight wheel-well spacing.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Ratings & Reviews
Due to our new residence location (Big Bear Lake CA) I've been researching tire chain specs and options. My past experience was only seasonal, but now that we live here permanently I wanted the most effective design and durable materials....not only for my Jeep, but my wife's Honda. Just received both via UPS last week. Nice product and packaging. Now just waiting for the snow!
Made my KIA Soul goes places it should not have . Stayed tight and in place. Put about 200 miles on then in heavy , light and ice. Good steering control.
I live on a mountain top in Western North Carolina where one of our recent snow falls left 10 inches of snow the first night. I refer to my driveway as The Roller Coaster because it is so steep and curvy and at 6:30 the morning I first used the chains, it was so covered that I had to guess where it was. I have an '03 Subaru Forester and with my Thule chains, I was able to go where the snow plows hadn't gone with no traction problems whatsoever. It was a week before I was able to safely take them off the car, but they're in the back for the next time I need them.
etrailer is fantastic! I ordered the chains on Saturday, Dec 25, got confirmation of my order that same day and had the chains the following Wednesday. I recommend both etrailer and these chains without any reservations on either!
Super slow shipping. Took 10 days to get my tire chains.
Easy to install and nice snug fit. Did not get to use in snowy conditions, as a heat wave came through making our travels easier. Will keep for next adventure.
Great chains. I use a set of four on a subaru outback. Living at elevation, snow and ice. Not uncommon wintertime scene.
Pretty easy on (have a pair of leather gloves and headlamp), five minutes ideally to get all four on in the dark.
Practice with them before the storm.
Very easy off.
Will vibrate your teeth out if travelling on plowed roads, but that's not what they're intended for anyway. Take them off and throw them in the trunk.
I used these chains for the first time to get me home after work when winter storm Jonas hit the east coast. The snow was so deep that I only had trouble when the snow started to pick my car off the ground. I made it all the way home with these chains but did notice a few links broke during the 30 minute drive home. I wasn't going any faster than 20-25 mph on the way home. I couldn't go any faster given how bad the roads were. These chains were easy to install and I did drive a few miles before stopping and retightening them as per the instructions. The chains can be used again even with the broken link but I will have to repair them in the spring or buy new ones next year.
eTrailer di an excellent job in helping me select the appropriate chains for my specific driving needs. The communications was outstanding, the package arrived when promised, and the follow-on check to make sure I was able to install and test was exceptional. I strongly recommend.
This was the fastest next day shipping! I ordered late and the next thing I knew the shipper picked it up, and was at my door mid morning! Thank you! In time for a storm!
Chains fit 2022 F350 Tremor with 285/70R18 tires. A little difficult to drape around tire evenly due to the deep lugs/siping on Dura Trac tires but not bad. Plenty of clearance to brake and suspension components. Get some parachute cord to place over the tensioning chain on the rear tire to protect the hub. Have not used in snow yet. A bit pricey but high quality and fairly easy installation both front and back. I also have Konig chains for my Subaru Outback that are excellent. Etrailer customer service is always excellent.
Do NOT buy these chains if you own a Tesla, and I cannot recommend etrailer.com at this point either. I purchased these tire chains Item #TH01221102 for my Model 3 from etrailer.com on based on their recommendation and videos. When I received the chains I test fit them and they seemed to fit and looked fine on the tires. I did not have to actually use them for several months. After a single use, one of the center join links opened before finishing a 15 mile trip at 25 mph. I replaced it with a repair link. I made a 2nd short trip at 25 mph and another center joining link came open after less than 30 minutes of 25 mph driving. I replaced that link with another repair link and it's happened a 3rd time. I contacted etrailer.com because clearly something is not right. etrailer.com referred me to Pewag and Konig to file a warranty claim. All good, I filed a claim and Konig's response was they would honor the warranty claim ONE TIME ONLY (5 year warranty is now VOIDED) because these are not the right chains for my vehicle, and Konig sent me a brand new set of chains, which is nice, but does me no good since they NOT the right chains. I came back to etrailer.com to try to address this further, and at first they blamed me and said I bought the wrong size (I didn't) and provided a link to the correct ones. That link included a listing for the same chains and size I bought. I emailed back and pointed out to them that this was not my fault, and they acknowledged it. I asked them to please do the right thing and allow me to exchange the brand new "wrong" chains which they recommended and sold me, for the correct ones which Konig recommends. I stated I would be willing to pay for a cost difference. Unfortunately, they have not responded to me or any subsequent emails. Not a good experience.
I am attaching an image of where these chain links fail. Red highlights are the failing links. Green are repaired links. I'm pretty sure this is why Konig says don't use these chains on a Tesla.
I have to say I'm extremely satisfied with these tire chains!! They're so aggressive and work well with my corolla. My at is front wheel drive and the weight of the motors sits perfectly in line with the tire/chain combination. They bite and dig right in the snow and ice. My drive way is very long as you can see and quite dangerous in snowy conditions. I've had numerous times where I've had to slip the chains on and it was a breeze. They're so easy to put on and off. I feel extremely confident throughout the winter season with the Thule tire chains in the back of my trunk. Thank you so much! You guys have great products going!
Pleased to say I can finally review these tire chains. I bought them as a precautionary measure before going up to Vermont for a week earlier in January. Used them extremely briefly up there and thought they were solid.
Fast forward a couple weeks to now, and we received 20+ inches of snow in about 24 hours in central Massachusetts. Got to and from my friends' house for the Pats AFC Championship game while the snow was dumping no problem. No need to dig my car out, no need to concern myself with which roads had been plowed or not, and no need to avoid hills in either direction. I never thought my FWD wagon with 6" clearance and all-seasons would eat snow like this. The chains are peace of mind to the highest degree. At this point I think they should plow the roads less!
Mounting is pretty easy too, but they require some finagling to get them in place when you're doing it out in the snow. Getting them off is more annoying because you have to blindly find the connector on the backside of the tire, but it's not bad with some patience.
Shipping was very fast, the tire chains had a hard plastic case, which is great. Visually they look great, brand new, no hardware is damaged, it all fits together properly by hand. I haven't checked the fit yet, I will update my review if they don't fit.
super fast shippingjust got my "chains " today ,look very good, cant
wait to try them out.live down a long curving hill
witch ends at the beach,yes it is sweet in the summer,
but when it snows wow what a b--tch to get out of the
the nieiborhood,these will most defintely
do the trick,,,looks very simple to install,great quality.
I have not got a chance to use them yet, they go on really easy and are of great quality. Came on time, great costumer service, definitely recommend buying from this store! Thank you.
I received my order faster than I expected. I have not had a chance to use them yet but I have a set of chains that I bought a year ago and love them.
I initially had trouble placing my order online, so I called and it took just 2 minutes to have them take my order and place my information. The chains showed up 2 days later just as promised and the team (Vicki) kept me up to date when they shipped and followed up to make sure I was a happy customer. I am!
Great quality. Especially the accessories like the manual being made of plastic so it can get wet and giving a mat to kneel on to keep your pants dry. And the storage is convenient. All super useful, thorough, and high quality.
I haven't had the chance to use the product yet. We are just starting to get what promises to be a HISTORIC snow storm. It's Friday and the chains were supposed to arrive on Monday ... after 2 feet plus of snow is forecast to fall here on the mountain.
I was able to install the chains before the snow started and they were the easiest chains I have ever installed.
World class customer service from this company. I will most definitely recommend them in the future. Thanks!
Chains arrived well packaged and everything intact. Simple to put on and take off, works well on my 225/45/18 wheels (not an easy size to find). Review on the shipping as well, worried about it arriving on time but the estimate was spot on and arrived when it said it would so kudos for that.
The customer service is excellent! And the product arrived before schedule!! The chains and organizer are very good quality. I purchased the chains for a trip I was taking, so the arrival BEFORE the projected date was really great and gave my husband and myself a chance to do a trial run of putting them on the car. They were easy to install and something I could handle on my own. I didn't run into any snow, so cannot give a review on actual use, and that is the only reason I didn't give "excellent" in my rating. Definitely would recommend this site to others.
The customer service I've received from etrailer has been exceptional. Greg kept me updated with my order at every step - even got my chains shipped out on Sunday of President's Day weekend! I will definitely be coming back to etrailer for future orders.
The chains come in a reusable box that is pleasantly compact. You can't go wrong with TUV approval, plus the diamond pattern seems to be what most of the truckers I've seen use. The chains are easy to put on and fit my skinny sidewall tires nicely.
These chains fit my 2019 Hyundai Kona EV (2WD) well and were just the thing add traction in deep snow after the recent blizzard. They are easy to put on (though the weather and sand/salt on the roads wet, cold and dirty to deal with) and they work very well to boost traction. They are a great value and I would highly recommend!
