When the snow starts falling and the roads get slick, these Titan Chain cable tire chains give your tires the bite they need. The ladder pattern with steel roller links helps maintain forward traction on light snow without the harsh ride of thick chain links. They wrap evenly around the tires to give a steady, predictable feel when you’re heading up a snowy hill or down an icy country road.
If your vehicle doesn’t have much space around the tires, these cables are made for it. They meet SAE Class S clearance standards, which means they’ll work in tighter wheel wells where standard snow chains won’t fit. The low-profile design keeps them close to the tire surface so you get traction without worrying about rubbing or interference.
These chains go on quickly when the weather catches you off guard. The cable feeds through a sturdy steel channel for a solid connection, and there are no levers or complicated parts to fumble with. Just drape them, connect the cables front and back, and you’re ready to roll. Add rubber adjusters (sold separately) for a snug, even tension that stays put as you drive.
For those “just in case” trips through mountain passes or chain-required zones, it’s smart to keep a set of these in your trunk. Each pair is lightweight, easy to handle, and comes in a convenient carrying bag. They don’t take up much space, so you can stash them in your vehicle and forget about them until the next snowstorm hits.
The steel cable core and low-carbon steel rollers hold up well through repeated seasonal use. They resist wear from snow-covered asphalt and deliver reliable performance when you need that extra traction to get home or reach the trailhead. A quick rinse and dry after use keep them ready for next time.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Colin: Hey, everyone. It's Colin here at etrailer, and today, we're going to take a look at the line of Titan Chain cable snow tire chains. Now, there's a variety of sizes to fit your specific tire, so make sure you enter your year, make, model of your vehicle in our fit guide, and enter your tire size. It'll lead you to the one that'll correctly fit your tire.Now, it's always a good idea to keep a set of chains in your vehicle, and with these cable chains, these are something that's going to be a really good investment for if you live in an area where during the winter months you're only going to be getting snow or ice a couple of times over the winter months. These are going to just give you that extra traction through those lighter conditions.Now, if you live in an area where over the winter months you're getting really heavy snow or ice storms a lot during the winter months, I'd recommend maybe looking into a more heavy-duty set of steel chains. Titan Chain makes plenty of those, and we have them available here at etrailer, but again, back to these cable chains.
These are going to do very well through those lighter snow and ice conditions.These chains are also going to be a really economical choice, so you can have that safety net in the back of your vehicle in case you ever we're to encounter one of those lighter snow and ice situations. To be honest, with those set of steel chains, if you try to use those in lighter conditions, it's going to make for a very rough ride. It's going to wear down on the chain much quicker than these steel rollers will. The steel rollers, along with the low profile chain, make for a very smooth ride for having a set of chains on your tire.Now, each tire chain isn't specifically designed for one size tire. Each set of chains is going to fit a variety of tire sizes in a range.
Now, you can see that they're pretty loose on our tire right now, and we do have them really as tight as we can go, but that's where these rubber adjusters come in handy. These are sold separately here at etrailer. I highly recommend picking up a set if you're going to grab some cable chains as well.What these are going to do is pull down and keep tension on your chains and keep them snug against your tire, so you get a much smoother ride and keep getting that good traction. Let's go and show you how to install them real quick. It's really pretty simple.
You can see how it's pulling on each side to help make sure we get that traction that we need. You can see right there. Now, our chains are much tighter on our tire, so we're ready to hit the road.Now, the base of the chain isn't actually a chain. It's this really durable cable, and this cable is making up, like I said, the entire base all the way around and the cross-links. The cross-links are going to be kind of covered with all these low-carbon steel rollers.
Like I said, the roller makes for a very smooth ride, gives you that extra traction that you need, and the low-carbon steel construction is going to be very tough and durable. It's also going to resist rust and corrosion.These chains are also going to be classed as certified, meaning they're great for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance, which isn't necessarily the case for our SUV. Right here, you can see I've got plenty of space, but for smaller vehicles like sedans, maybe even vehicles where you bought some bigger tires, and it's taking up more space in the wheel well, these are going to be a great option.The chains do have a ladder pattern design, meaning they're forming these cross-links all throughout the chain. They are going to be very effective for starts and stops, and you do want to keep in mind that they do have a speed rating of 30 miles per hour, so just make sure you're keeping it slow out there and staying safe. We do get this nice durable case that makes for very easy storage when they're not in use. You can just roll them up, throw them in here, and then toss it in the back of your vehicle.Now, whenever you get a new set of chains, whether it's these Titan Cable chains or any other sets you might get, I always recommend getting it out of the bag or the case, practicing installing them on your vehicle before you go out into the weather. If you're in your driveway or in your garage, practice using them so that when you get out in those situations, if you run into any problems, you'll know how to work through them.Now, I'll go ahead and walk you through that install process right now. Now, the first thing you want to do is lay your cable chains out, and just check them over for any tangles or kinks or twists. Get all those out. After you've used them a couple of times, it's never a bad idea just to go ahead and check for any broken links or rollers. With these being new chains, and if you've only used them a few times, then you're probably not going to have to worry about that. What we'll do is just grab them and then drape them over the top insides of our tire.Now, here on the backside, we need to make our first connection. That's just feeding this cable into the channel right there. We want to get it as tight as we can. We got to the second one, and that should do for now. If we go to the front and we find that it's still a little loose, we can come back and tighten it up a little more. Let's go to the front side and do the same thing.Just feed it through. We're at the second one right there, which is the same number we did on the backside, but if we want to, we can go one more up. That seems to do the trick and keep our chains snug. See if we can go to the fourth. Looks like we can, so that does get our chains a little bit tighter. However, per the instruction, we want to make sure we're staying within one. So from here, you have the option of going back to the third or going back to the backside and adjusting it, whichever way you feel more comfortable with. We're going to go ahead, go to the backside, and make that adjustment.Now, if you decided to get the optional rubber tensioner, go ahead and throw that on as well. Then from there, go ahead and repeat this process for the other side. Once you've done all that, you're going to be ready to hit the road.Well, I hope this information helped you guys out, but that's going to do it for our look at the line of Titan Chain cable snow tire chains.

Ratings & Reviews
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!
Delivered in new condition on the date promised but have yet to use the cable chains give the current summer line weather.
They will work just fine for up hunting in the mountains. The TRX/RHO says no chains, but these clear. There are times you must have a little extra bite, slow speeds..these will be perfect
Just received my chains yesterday. I have to say, first of, customer service is EXCELLENT! I had questions on which chains were best for my SUV and I was promptly responded with suggestions and links to videos. I went with these tire cables for my 2015 Dodge Durango SXT Plus. There was question about clearance issues with brake lines on the Durango and these seem to be very low profile and made for lower clearance. The price was right too. I did a dry install today and it was a breeze. Took way longer to fold these back up and put back into the storage bag! Lol! (That's not these chains fault, it's user error...) I took some pictures but note it was my first time installing tire cables so I'm going to have to center them a bit more. I purchased the Titan chain multi arm rubber chain adjusters and they did make a difference on how snug the cables fit, so I would recommend them. We only plan on using them on very rare occasions when we venture up the mountain, so in sure if you live where it snows all the time, you will probably look at higher prices chains, but I think these are perfect for the occasional use. I will update after our Big Bear trip if we use them to reflect actual use. Thank you etrailer, they also upgraded my shipping to get here a couple days earlier just because... that was amazing!
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.
These tire chains worked very well . Got where I was going and back when we had snow and ice. I WOULD recommend these for sure. The reason for only 4 stars is due to how fast they got rusty washed the salt off and soaked them with Thrust which is a penetrating oil so I hope the next time I need to use them they are usable
Total waste, they do not fit and customer service was no help. Told me to contact manufacturer of the worthless product. Don’t waste your time or money on this site!
The order arrived on time and in good condition. The tire cables even came with nice carry bag instead of a box that always falls apart after a few years.
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.
They arrived in time and seem fairly straightforward for their use.
GREAT PRICE..FAST DELIVERY...THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Came in a timely manner. Am hoping for a correct fit on my 2013 Chevy Spark
Great products, reasonably priced and good delivery time. How can you beat that! Great job, and thank you.
Excellent product worked well, it came with a convenient carrying bag
Arrived when expected and in mint condition. Easy to install on the road after a few rounds of practice in favorable conditions.
I bought them as a precaution, still haven’t had to use them. However I like the fact that I have them!
These cable chains are excellent quality and well made. An excellent value!
Chains fit perfectly and the customer service was great.
This is my third order this year. Every order on time. Great quality,fair price,love the how to videos .
I ACTUALLY SHORTENED THE CHAINS AND PUT THEM ON MY ZERO TURN MOWER WHICH I USE TO PLOW SNOW. THE CABLES ARE PERFECT BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TIRE AND FRAME. SO FAR THEY ARE HOLDING UP GREAT.
Did the job and got me to the mountains!
Here’s a pic from Sequoia National Park.
Would definitely use with the bungee cord type tire chain adjusters to help keep the chains tight.
