When the roads turn slick or you hit an unplowed mountain pass, the square-link design of these chains gives you serious traction. The links dig in and grab, helping you climb steep grades or stop securely on ice. The diamond pattern keeps more of your tire in contact with the ground, so you stay steady through turns and over uneven snowpack instead of sliding around.
If your vehicle doesn’t leave much space between the tire and wheel well, these SAE Class S chains are built for that. They only need 1.46" (37 mm) above the tread and 0.59" (15 mm) at the sidewall, so they fit cleanly without rubbing. You get dependable traction in tight spaces without worrying about clearance issues.
Nothing’s worse than stopping to re-tighten chains in freezing wind. These come with built-in tensioners that let you control the fit right from the front of the tire. Once you hook and pull them snug, they stay centered as you drive. The assisted, color-coded connections make setup clear even in low light, so you can get back on the road quickly.
Snow, salt, and ice can eat through cheap metal fast. These chains are made from a tough manganese nickel alloy that’s strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant. The 0.145" (3.7 mm) thick links handle repeated use without stretching or breaking, giving you season-after-season reliability for mountain travel or emergency traction.
When you’re not using them, the pair packs neatly into a reusable plastic storage case that slides easily under a seat or against the back wall of a cargo area. The compact case keeps both chains organized and ready for when the next snowstorm hits.

I haven't had a chance to use them on the road, but was able to do a test fit, and they were straightforward to install per included instructions. It took me longer to untangle the second chain than it did to install both of them. I ended up separating the 2 sides of each chain using plastic bags to try and keep them from getting tangled.
Website was very helpful in providing a wide range of options for my specific vehicle. Amazing descriptions, pictures, and videos which gave lots of background and technical information for each option. One of the better shopping websites I've used. Very well done etrailer.
Very easy to install these tire chains. Much easier than my old set. Good price and quick delivery.
Excellent used on plow truck easy to install often used 2wd on 25 deg. Incline less wear and tear on steering and 4wd
After searching my local area for snow chains, I called the office to inquire about ordering snow chains for my specific AWD car. They were so informative and helped me select a chain that was most beneficial for my driving conditions and very affordable. I also needed extremely expedited shipping to my state, and they were able to provide this. I received my chains on time and to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. They were terrific!
Recieved items faster than expected shipping which was a plus for our trip comming up. Once i received the item. I unboxed and tested (as u should before going into the snow) setup was simple, directions were straight forward and easy to follow. The only thing i didnt do was drive the car with the chains on yet cause its not snowing here. Will be using them this week and will uldate review with results!
I did not have to use the chains during my recent trip to the snow but I did practice putting the chains on and it was super easy, the chains fit perfectly. Also, I received them as expected, in a timely manner.
I haven't used them yet but I tried them on and they fit my tires, even though my tire size was not On the case. Love your Videos of Installation, good job. Only one thing I paid for a 4 to 6 day delivery and didn't get them until 7th day so that extra money was wasted.
I placed my order late in the evening. I received immediate notification that it would be processed. The next day I received notice that they had upgraded my shipping from standard shipping to two day shipping free of charge. This was the first time I have ordered from e-trailer, but it wont be the last time. If that is how they take care of a brand new customer, they can count on me for repeat business.
This is a great product and just what I have been looking to purchase. I have researched Tire Chains for the past year and I am pleased with this product. I was able to easily put in details about my vehicle and had several options to review and ultimately purchase. I highly recommend etrailer for any of your needs, plus my chains come in a nice bag that holds the chains and also instructions on how to install!
Fortunately, I haven't had to use them.
I put them on once to adjust them for size.
Appeared to be a good quality.
Fast shipping and great to do business with etrailer as always.
etrailer was great, kept me notified and fast shipping. Tire chains, not so much. My fault for ordering 3.5MM chains, but they said for SUV or truck. These are very thin and light duty. Here in the Sierras of California, you're forced at times to drive on pavement before chain removal areas. These chains would wear out very fast in those conditions. If you plan on using these numerous times, I would recommend heavier duty chains.
My tire chains arrived and I'm excited to use them for the next Sierra snow storm. Excellent quality chains and even the storage case is nice! For something that's going to sit in my trunk most of the time, it's nice to know the chains will be properly stored and self contained - for whenever they are needed. As for my overall customer experience with eTrailer, these guys are top notch! From product selection, ordering, shipping and communication throughout the process - I am completely satisfied and will gladly be a repeat customer! Thanks
I bought these to use on my 26 foot RV. I followed the buying guide and ended up with these, not knowing if I would need them or not. Well, I was driving through WA in early December and the only way one could pass Snoqualmie pass was if one had snow chains. I had never put snow chains on an RV with dual wheels. Well, it wasn't hard and the chains worked like a charm. I am very satisfied and would recommend these. Easy to use and durable
First thing I noticed about these was the packaging/storage case that these came in. I was shocked at how nice the carrying case was. It gives you the impression these are high-quality tire chains...and they are! Well constructed and easy to put on. I bought these for my Audi Q5 to drive in the Seattle area. This winter we've had 12-30" of snow west of the Cascade mountains and 7 feet at the Snoqualmie Pass, which normally allows chains but was closed for several days. These chains have helped a ton, preventing us from being stuck in our house. We live in an area that is part of the Cascade mountain plateau and as such have steep hills and since we don't normally get this much snow it took longer to get the local and county to plow the roads. A life saver...
These chains are solid and fit well on my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer. I was only able to test fit in my driveway, so I can't say how they do on the road yet, but they are simple and quick to install. I ordered them at around 10:30 p.m. PST, and received the order the next day with the upgraded 3-5 day shipping. My order had several items, but one item was missing from the initial delivery. The customer service at etrailer.com had the missing item sent out and at my door 2 days later with very little effort on my part. Awesome job etrailer.com! Your prompt and courteous customer service will most certainly bring me back for future needs!
Unless your vehicle is garaged when you put these on, my experience was that they are more likely to fail. The ones I purchased broke after only 3 times trying to use them because I did not have a dry flat concrete pad when placing them on the tires. Putting them on when your traveling because the weather has turned is very difficult due to snow and ice build up around the tires as well as the snow packed roads don’t easily allow for the chains to go on evenly.
Worked great in hard packed snow/ice in the Sierra Nevada's. Also powered through heavy snow berms left from snowplows in parking lots at the ski hill, the condo complex, and around town during a nasty Sierra storm. All-season tires by themselves would have certainly involved shoveling to make it through the berms. They were also smooth up to almost 30mph with only a little vibration at 30, their max recommended speed. They are alot easier and faster to install than your typical ladder style chains. No driving on to the chains before making connections. All other chains I've purchased in the past needed separate tensioners, but the self-tensioning design of these chains is brilliant, and the color coding makes for foolproof installation. The performance and convenience of these chains are well worth the little bit extra in price compared to ladder styles. The zippered heavy nylon carrying case is far superior to the canvas sacks that came with the chains (of another brand) for our truck, and will be far more durable than the plastic box that came with chains (again, another brand) purchased for a previous vehicle. You really can't ask for anything more. I'd give more stars if possible.
These were/are a trip-saver. We have a Chrysler Pacifica (minivan), which is front wheel drive. These chains made it possible for us to get out of a steep, snow-covered (approx. 3” base snowpack w/ several inches of fresh powder on top) driveway, as well as to drive snowy mountain roads with confidence. Installation is quick enough the first time around (maybe 10min), and the learning curve is nothing to fear. After a couple of times, you’ll get it done in about 5min. I have 5 kids, so impatient passengers is a real concern, and stopping to put on these chains didn’t precipitate meltdowns. Conditions were such that repeated on-off-on-off was occasionally necessary on our trip last year. Again, you can get proficient at installation after 2-3 times, and be in the 5min range (definitely less than 10min). Wear gloves for grip and protection. Practice installation in your driveway a time or two, and you’ll be way ahead of the curve. Looking forward to toting these chains along for this year’s winter trip to the Rockies.
The tire chains for our Highlander arrived yesterday. Fortunately in western Oregon we only need chains if we decide to go over the mountains to the ski areas or the eastern part of the state and it is snowing. With luck they may never come out of the trunk. Thank you for your service.
Super easy to follow the steps and put them on by myself!

Fit my 2015 Lexus RX350 perfectly. I watched a YourTube video and have been able to put the chains on myself.
I bought this for my 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and used it this past weekend to go to Big Bear. Installation was very simple. The chains itself worked pretty well in the snow and they fit like a glove around the tire in my opinion. What I liked most about it is that you don't have to drive over it to install it. Just drape it over the tire and connect. Also, I found it very cool that the parts where you have to connect were color coded to help you with the install.
These are the most incredible chains I have seen that don't cost $500. I travel both the Coquihalla and Crows Nest highways in BC, Canada and chains are mandatory after October. Weather conditions are not usually the best to be wrestling these things on. They come neatly packaged and separated - no untangling. They will come out and go straight on the car. These chains go on from the outside of the wheel with no crawling under the car or moving or steering the wheels to get them aligned. I'm 63 and really appreciate that! George was prompt with the order and got them to me in less than a week. Even upgraded my standard shipping to priority at no additional charge. He is no my go to for everything SUV!
The staff at etrailer was helpful in answering questions before I purchased my snow chains from etrailer. Once the package was delivered, they followed up with me making sure that i received my order and that the product was correct and fit correctly.
These chains were amazing! I was a bit hesitant to go with chains over cables due to the car's manual saying to use cables, but after talking to Bob at etrailer, and watching the install videos, I went with them (on all four tires) and am glad I did! We went up to Yosemite for the New Year, and it snowed the day we drove in. We got through the gate into the park without needing chains, but once inside, the roads started to get covered, and though we have AWD, we don't have snow tires and the chains seemed like the best option. We pulled over and had the chains on all four tires within about 20 minutes. The car ran like a tank through the snow (and later, ice-covered roads) and I'm really happy we went with the chains rather than cables. After putting on the chains, we drove about 100 yards to check and tighten them. They were actually pretty tight - only had to tighten one. They really really came in handy driving through the Yosemite Valley, and the email responses I got from Bob prior to buying these showed me great customer service. The shipping speed was top notch as well, and overall, I'm happy that we went with etrailer to get these chains for our snow-covered trip to Yosemite.

After a year of owning these chains, still couldnt be happier. Weve moved from CA to the east coast and though we havent yet had the need to put the chains on, we keep them in the car just in case. Having the peace of mind that I can stop and put them on quickly if needed makes me happy, and I still am very glad that I was able to get these from eTrailer with guidance from Bob
